Someone asked for a Border Collie cake, but not something carved; they wanted something super simple. This is what I gave them. And it couldn't have been simpler to make - I mean like 45 minutes simple.
I found a super cute graphic image of a border collie, and I cut the printout apart like a jigsaw puzzle. Then I just cut pieces of black and white covering chocolate to match the paper pieces. (Note: the covering chocolate is stiffer and holds it shape better than fondant. It taste better too.)
Then I stacked all the pieces and glued them together with a touch of water.
The eyes went on last, and I scored a few lines in the covering chocolate to represent hair.
And then I just picked the whole thing up and placed it on top of my prepared cake. What could be easier??? Honestly, It took be about 45 minutes to cut and stack all the pieces. I wish they were all this effortless.
