1. Carving and Ganaching
If you’ve tried the Friendly Dragon tutorial then the carving is exactly the same. If not, then its simply case of getting the stand foodsafe then shaping the cake and head then applying ganache in the usual way.

2. Covering the Cake
Covering the body and head separately just work with the sugarpaste to get a smooth finish and unlike the Dragon this will be shown so spend some time with it.

3. Covering the Legs and Board
If choosing a larger animal then you might chose to add some depth to the legs with Rice Krispie treats, either way its a simple case of covering the legs with sugarpaste. The board needs to be covered in sections.
