I like to call this one: The Beakless Owl Monster from Space (which, now that I think about it, would also make a great movie).
Here's the back of the little cake monster:
I had a lot of fun with this little guy. I didn't really have a set plan in my head for the design. I just wanted to try new things. I used floral wire again to make the 3 floating eyes. I used homemade fondant to make the eyes, the bug, and the tail. The fur is buttercream frosting that I piped on with a star tip.
I used frosting bullets (some people call them frosting plugs) in order to get the two-tone (orange/yellow) effect in the fur. Frosting bullets are a great way to keep the colors from smooshing together in the piping bag and also help with cleanup. Check the STATS section for tutorials on making your own frosting bullets.
