I made this for the nurses that work with my sister for the holidays and they loved it. I followed most of the easy directions but I used the grass tip for the brown on the fur, and a bubble gum ball with some added glitter for the nose, and added some wilton premade lights around the sides with green wires scalloped all around and a red border with some green wilton balls (they came in a jar of red and green circles)to look like ornaments on top. It turned out cute, took very little time,

I made this cake a few years ago to have for Christmas desert for all my nieces and nefews. It was a big hit they just loved it, how it was decorated and everything. I did it little different by piping it with the star tip and made him a red nose using a Hershey's Kiss and to make sure all the kids and the adults had a chocolate aswell I did the border with red and green Hershey's Kisses. It was awsome and very easy to do!

When putting all of the detail on this cake, it stands above many other holiday shaped cakes. I have used this pan multiple times. Most people find it delightful.
