Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A
Border Collie cake
Can someone tell me where I could find a tutorial for a 3D Border Collie cake? Something like the labrador tutorial? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi dianne
Paul’s labrador dog cake tutorial has laid down the foundations for any large dog cake. It is an excellent guide to follow which lends it’s self particularly well for a colllie shape with a few adjustments in carving.
My suggesting would be to download some border collie dog images to use as a guide for shaping the body and to make a similar template as Paul has done for the head. The following stock photos may help:

In google images there are hundreds of pictures which could serve well for head templates.
The basic principal would be exactly the same as Paul’s tutorial using collie pics as reference. See also Paul’s super dog cake tutorial and the westie dog for different posture but still referencing a border collie with help of the image downloads and templates.
This is just my suggestion, other members may be able to source a full tutorial or help with additional tips. Good luck with your cake!
