You may recall from my post about my sister Regan's second birthday, the McLaughlin clan is not afraid of taking cakes to the third dimension. But, I can speak for all of us when I say we are truly humbled by Elisa Strauss's Joey cake, a life size version of her father's Labradoodle, made in honor of her dad's 60th birthday.
Granted, Strauss is a professional, owner of Manhattan's Confetti Cakes, but that does nothing to take away from the magic of Joey in all his confectionary glory. I love that she had the foresight to film its creation for posterity, since after the party her masterpiece was surely gone. The film was edited by Lisa Stock, compressing 4 days into 4 minutes. What a great keepsake for your dog-loving and cake-loving family.
Joey beside his amazing doppelganger.

And thanks to my friend Garth McLean for the tip about Joey. Keep them coming!
