For the elephant trunk, use two lengths of plastic dowel rods as your guide, inserted in your stand-up rubber ducky cake before it is decorated. Cover the pieces with stars when the cake is complete.

Think of the Giraffe as a number 7 shape, with a pull-out line for the neck and the head. Easy dot features are then added on top.


Lion

For jungle and circus themes, the Lion rules! Balls and dots combine to shape his head—you can use the same procedure for bears, hippos, dogs and other animals.

The Pig is a perfect example of how basic shapes come together in figure piping. With an oval body, round head, pull-out legs and dot features, he's a snap to make.

Poodle

Poodle

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Difficulty: Somewhat Easy

The Poodle can be done directly on your cake, by tracing our pattern with a toothpick. His fluffy coat is a result of overpiped zigzag fur.


Reindeer

Reindeer

Sheep

Sheep

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

You can count on our Sheep to draw attention to your cake. The figure piped body is rich with detail like the tapering snout, petal-shaped ears and shell-motion wool.
