Donna’s Gotcha Day was in Jan 12, 2013. Xmas to Chinese New Year is typically a busy period for me, so after last year’s hectic experience I decided to just ask a few dogs out for a picnic at Bishan Park so Donna can have fun with some friends.
Who orders a Bundt Cake for Gotcha Day? :P
Separately, I loved the look of the Xmas Bundt Cake by The Doggy Bag. So I asked Jodi, the lady behind the home bakery, if she could make one of her Christmas Cakes for Donna :P
Literally what we agreed upon was the below. Replacement of the original fruits to fruits that Donna is more likely to eat, and also the inclusion of a miniature Donna in the center.

Looking at it months later, I still think Donna’s Gotcha Day Bundt Cake looks so cute!
A cake made specially for Donna and our blog!
But what I eventually received was a giant box because Jodi had literally built a community of apartment block cookies surrounding Donna’s Cake! Simply because she was inspired by our blog title – We Live in a Flat!!

If the layout looks a little wonky to you, it’s because the cake suffered a mishap in the car when we transported it home. Oops!
This was definitely more than what I expected! You can’t see it but there was a lot of detail and effort going into this. Besides the DONNA cookies curving around the Bundt Cake in front, there was also WE LIVE IN A FLAT cookies curving around the Bundt Cake at the back. The landscape around the blocks of flats was also dotted by brocolli trees!

It feels like such a happy cake because it looks like little Cookie Men have run out of their apartments to dance around Donna and celebrate her Adoption Day with her!! :D #somuchlove

Can I eat the little Cookie Men now, mom? :P :P :P :P Oops!

I’m obviously exhausting Donna’s patience trying to find the best way to capture her and all the detail on the cake. :P
Vet visit on Gotcha Day, unbelievable Mom!
If memory serves me right, Donna’s Gotcha Day fell on a Monday this year. And she was scheduled to go see the vet for that day. :P After the vet visit, she got to go run around a bit at East Coast Park.
And much of Donna’s Gotcha Day Bundt Cake went to camouflaging her pills. HAHAHAH *Oops! :P *
// Just back from hiatus in February so I’m still working on all the backdated posts :P
