I was owndering if I bought the nordicware 3d sheep pan if I could turn it into a dog it kinda looks like a dog laying down with big ears I figure iw ouls just cut the ears off and work with it like that. anyone have any ideas on how tom ake one or if this idea would work? Thank you

Thank you for the ideas. It's a great help. I have now found out they want a small one for just her to keep so I wouldn't need a huge one so I'm thinking I will try try the lamb pan and see what happens. Again thank you. I don't know what I would do without this site

I've made a few of them. You can see them in my pictures. They are kind of lying down. I made the heads out of RKT and supported them with dowels. I covered the head seperate from the body and then covered where the head and body met, by putting the collar there. I just cut the hair design into the fondant with an x-acto. There are some really good dog cakes here on CC if you look too.
