My Dad’s Birthday Cake: Hairy Dog With Moustache!

By Lyndsay // Coco Cake Land

It was my Dad’s birthday on December 17th and we celebrated by hitting up an old family favourite Portugese restaurant here in Vancouver. They do crisp potato chip-style fries fresh out of the deep fryer, which accompanies platters of roast chicken and sauteed squid with lemon.

I made a hairy dog cake for my beloved Dad because I wanted to make him something both special and hilarious. The cake itself was a green tea cake with matcha green tea syrup and vanilla creamcheese frosting! I also gave my dog cake a moustache… growing up throughout the 1980s and 1990s my dad ALWAYS had a thick black moustache. I still think he has one, even though it’s long been shaved away! That’s my Dad pictured above with our growing family… my sisters keep on pumpin’ those kids out! ^_^

Happy Birthday Dad… I love you more than words or a blog or even a hairy dog cake with a curly moustache could ever say!

Love Lyndsay

    I must say, that restaurant sounds FANTASTIC so of course I searched out Portugesae restaurants in Van. Turns out delicious food descriptions don’t exactly narrow the search; what’s the name of the restaurant?

    chelsea, it’s called Casa Verde, it’s very unassuming-looking with very strange dated decor inside, and is on Commercial Street, just off Victoria Drive! ^_^

    hey thanks thea! i think spoonful looks lovely! ^_^
