I was surfing flickr and saw this in the international cake competition:

Oh my God this is so amazing! I don't know how the fur is made...it looks like individual strands but I doesn't look like piped royal icing.
That looks like perfection to me , I too wonder what they did to get it so precise?????
This was from the Birmingham Cake International, it was so amazing to see in person. I couldn't figure out how it was done.
It didn't win 1st.. it came in 3rd...
These are the winners in that category

Oh my golly goodness! How on earth does one get that good? I'd have to live 200 years to cake like that!
My personal opinion is that cat beats the heck out of those other cakes, though they were NICE too!!!
Here is Lindy Smith's comment about this cake on her blog: "...but this one by Song Eun Sook was definitely the most impressive. It looked as if each piece of fur had been rolled by hand how long did that take?" Lindy Smith is someone who knows a lot about cake decorating - that's for sure.
Absolutely amazing technique!!!
just been watching cake challenge on food network and they were doing Disney Pixar.
One man did Sulley out of Monsters Inc and he did his fir with a grass tip! it looked amazing but it feel backwards right on him oops
Wow that fur was amazing. I wonder if she piped it a strand at a time with a #1 tip????
I don't understand the one that won the gold, the chocolate dragon thing in the cake box. Huh? Oh well.

i said "huh?!" as well!
I think that it is gumpaste that has been extruded through the tiniest of holes and then individually rolled out and attached with tweezers. Lynn McKay does something very similar, although I havent ever seen her do it THAT tiny!!

Oh that sounds like WAY too much work! haha.
It looks like clay to me also - although I would never have the patience to to do that. Amazing!!
Looks like a grass tip, or even a handmade multi-hole tip.
Years ago I was taught by an old pro cake decorator how to pipe using a hypodermic needle - that's commitment!! I can't imagine how long this took if the decorator used a needle method!!
