Muddy Sheep Cake

The knitting group that I'm in had a party last night to celebrate our third birthday. I love these knitty friends; so much fun, so many giggles and always there when it matters.  

But back to the party; I'd promised to make the cake and after seeing this cake on pinterest - and though I feel obliged to share the link to credit the original, I'd much rather not, since hers is sooo much better than mine! - I knew I wanted to make a muddy sheep version.

I used my staple cake recipe; the BBC's blueberry cake with sour cream, and James Martin's chocolate ganache from his book Desserts, though it didn't come out at the consistency I needed, so I got a sugar rush with all the adding and tasting that I had to do to get it right. It's a tough life.

It was really fun to take the time to be creative in a different way, though I think I'll go back to the day job now, especially as the girls decided they were more sheep-dogs than sheep! Ah well, at least it tasted good.

Oh so they were sheep? I was so confused! The one on his front looks very sheep like but the one on his back is definitely a dog!

He is definitely a sheep. Though he may be a sheep in dog's clothing.
