This cake was made for our youngest child's 1st birthday. The cake is a simple milk chocolate cake. The center of the face is an 8" round and the ears are a split 6" round. The cake was cooled over night and iced the following morning. The cake was covered in milk chocolate icing.
Fondant Face: First we had traced around the 8" pan to get the size of the face of the cake. The face was freehand drawn on a piece of parchment paper. We then cut it out and traced the shape on the fondant using a skewer. We then cut the face out of yellow tinted fondant using a sharp knife.
The fondant was placed on the cake and chilled for an hour. After cooling, the details were added using more of the chocolate icing. It was a fun and lovely cake. This one was a success.
Changes for the future: The fondant face piece should be a little smaller so that more of the chocolate underneath shows. This cake needs to be presented on a larger base/platter.
