  • 4 cups Buttercream icing Colored orange
  • 2 Round chocolates Such as big Peppermint patties
  • 2 m&m candies Any color you like

Instructions

  • Prepare cake batter and color it orange. 
  • Bake and let it cool down completely.
  • While they are cooling, make buttercream icing and color it orange.
  • Place one cake on a cake stand.
  • Spread frosting on top.
  • Place the other cake on top of the frosting and gently press it down to secure it. 
  • Frost the entire cake in orange frosting.You don’t have to be neat since all the flaws will soon get covered up.
  • Fill a piping bag with orange frosting and attach Tip #21. Start piping fur along the sides of the cake by squeezing the bag until icing comes out and quickly pulling downwards. 
  • Frost the top of the cake by squeezing the bag until icing comes out and quickly pulling upwards.
  • Stick 2 round chocolates on top of the cake.
  • Use a black edible marker to draw eyeballs on two m&m candies. Stick them on the peppermint patties with some frosting or melted chocolate.
  • Fill a piping bag with black icing and attach Tip # 3 (or you can just cut a very small hole in a piping bag). Pipe a curvy smile.
  • Enjoy!
