A fox cake for fall

A few months after the summer emoji cake, here is the fall fox cake! 

It was made for my daughter's birthday so not quite fall yet then, but it's just perfect for this season. 

The idea came from this cake I found on Pinterest, but as somehow they mention a template and I never could see one on their page, I free handed the fox shapes  (except for the nose and eyes - I used cookie cutters for those). 

Everything is made of fondant, and the ears I actually had to make the day before to make sure they hardened enough to stay in place. I made them with a double layer of fondant and a wooden stick (the kind you can buy at the craft store) in between. 

Then once the rest of the cake was decorated, I just had to stick the ears in place.

I have one more cake to share with you - an owl cake (my son's choice) - but I still need to sort of the photos of that one before posting.

Happy Wednesday!
