Thank you to everyone who helped me with this cake. I borrowed the idea from Abbey who posted a cake like this.

(Original post is here: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-30388-donkey.html )

The body is a wonder mold pan, the head is a loaf pan carved and the whole donkey is covered in fondant. The legs, tail and ears are also all fondant. The bottom is covered in IMBC with a grass tip and the cake is a butter cake with Butter pecan filling.

It was a joke cake for my brothers birthday. Three years ago when my son was 2, my brother and I took him to the local zoo. There was a donkey there in the petting zoo. My son was trying to touch his mouth and my brother told him he should not touch the donkeys mouth because the donkey would bite him. Apparently my brother thought telling him that the donkey would bite was not good enough because he felt the need to SHOW him. So he stupidly put his hand in the donkeys mouth and sure enough the donkey bit him. Except my brother never expected the donkey to like the taste of him so much as the donkey would not let go of his hand. After my brother started yelling for help I came over and "saved" my baby brother (he is 25!) from the mean old donkey by bopping the donkey on the nose...he let go icon_smile.gif

My brother has never lived it down and we still tease him about it all the time. He was pretty embarrassed icon_razz.gif

Anyways here it is:
