The star tip decorating is what takes the cake on this one. Just a little tip for a beginner is to "dirty ice" the cake before decorating to cover the cake on the areas where your stars may not touch. When you use the technique of your finger dipped in cornstarch to smooth the mouth and tongue, be sure not to smear the black into the red, you may consider icing the black, smoothing it, then icing the tongue in red, then smoothing that. Be sure not to wait until your buttercream is too crusted over or it will show cracks. Not sure if my consistency was too thick, but I find this technique to work best when the icing is still "wet".
