Favorite Dog Breed

If one particular dog breed makes your heart melt, represent it in your wedding cake. A cake molded into the shape of a dog is sure to get wedding reception guests talking. If you can't imagine cutting into the work of art, have the bakery screen print a favorite photograph of dogs onto a sheet cake. Since wedding sheet cakes are at least double the size of sheet cakes baked at home, you can display your favorite dog breed in huge proportions.
Dog Accessories

To celebrate all things dog-related, order a whimsical groom's cake. A dog bowl fashioned from cake and rolled fondant and filled with additional sweets, such as crispy rice treats cut to resemble dog bones or round pieces of hard candy dog kibbles, will tempt wedding guests both young and old. Imagine a dog house-shaped cake with a dog carefully crafted from icing peeking from its entrance. Other dog accessory-inspired cakes include a fire hydrant, a coiled leash and collar set complete with dog tags commemorating the wedding date or an oversized bone-shaped cake.

Famous Canine Cakes

Keeping your wedding cake elegant while offering a nod to a famous canine also lets your guests know of your love for dogs. After ordering a beautiful yet traditional wedding cake, embellish the dessert with figurines of famous cartoon dogs or canines that have appeared in movies or historical literature. Whether you celebrate the dog theme with a cake topper or by placing figurines around the base of the wedding cake, wedding guests will admire your favorite famous dog.
Embellishing a Layer Cake

For the ultimate salute to your favorite pet, place a doggie-duo wedding topper atop a layered wedding cake. A whimsical pairing of two dogs dressed in a tux and bridal gown will have guests smiling. Other added touches to embellish a traditional layered wedding cake include frosting paw prints scaling the sides of the cake layers, bone-shaped fondant decorations around the base of each cake layer or comical puppies created from royal icing playing on the cake layers.
