Dog Portrait Cakes by Dena Paige-Fischer

Go Ahead... bite me!
Just in time for Gracie's 4th Birthday! This is Dog appreciation at it's best! You too can have a canine cake for every one of Fido's mile stones by ordering a portrait cake, for human consumption only (sorry... Gracie, no cake for you!) from Brooklyn-based artist Dena Paige-Fischer.

Gotta love it!... Paige gets her inspiration from mom, a professional baker, her dad a sculptor and her pup Luka (a rescued pit bull). 

This eatable portrait delectable, feeds up to twenty people, is impressionistic in style but true to life. She works from high-quality photos to carefully paint every whisker using food coloring. 

Pick from vanilla or chocolate cake (or request a flavor) and semisweet ganache, buttercream, or fondant icing.

Because of her great passion for rescues ...A portion of the proceeds goes to Animal Haven in Soho!

Available by phone order (212-925-9097) or email ppaige1@nyc.rr.com, $175. For more information, go to bakedideas.com.
