Sculpting a bulldog for a cake

We were asked to make a bulldog out of cake for a small party. As pictured above we made the dog which was sculpted out of cake seated on top of a small cake, it was easier to stabilize him that way, had it been a larger cake we could have put him on all fours, so we seated in him in grass and put a bandanna around his neck which was cute and added a pop of color.

As shown above we started with the head, not seen but used was a piece of styrofoam which was carved and then covered in fondant, making the head out of cake or even just fondant would have been too heavy and would have pulled the head off of the body.

Here we are adding more detail by adding more folds to the skin of the dog's face and by painting the face around the eyes, the bridge of the nose and underneath the mouth to give definition.

So I went a few steps a head, sorry I'm new to showing the process of the making of my cakes and got a head of myself by finishing the cake, but I cropped out the body so you can see the dog's added features. The eyes were painted with a brush in brown and then a thin dark brown line under the eye (like eyeliner) was applied to the lower lid. A pink piece of fondant was added for a tongue and and then a brown piece fondant was attached to the head to represent the color variations of the dog's coat. And lastly ears were placed on either side of the head.

The body was carved out of cake and the color of the top of the head was repeated on the back part of the dog's body and a red bandanna was put around the neck of dog. This was a fun cake to make and took me back to an art sculpture class I took many years ago.
