Llama cake-a-rrama for Erin

Okay, so here's a good story. It was Erin P.'s birthday, and her boyfriend asked me to make her a llama cake. Fine. So I did the melted chocolate Llamas, and made two beautiful 9" pinwheel cakes. I put them on wire racks on the kitchen counter to cool. I took the garbage out, and when I came back, I found my dog, Chachi, in the kitchen, eating one of the layers greedily on the tile floor.
With about one hour to spare before the party, I had to come up with a quick fix. So, I cut out the dog-slobber bits, made the cake into the "alps" (?) and tried to make the mistake into a design. Nobody ever knew about it, and the cake was a big hit.
