Thank you Arvalynn a.k.a. wagsetail for sharing on how you did your squirrel. This cake was made for my Dad, his birthday was on Thanksgiving. He LOVED it! Spice Cake with Crusting Cream Cheese Frosting. Bucket planks were made from gumpaste and Fondant. Leaves, nuts, squirrel, and pumpkins were all done from fondant. The planks were dried flat, I probably should have dried them on something curved it would have been easier to form the bucket.
