you can click on gallery on top and type "fox" in search. I'm sure there are a bunch of cakes with foxes on them. goodluck & welcome to CC. You can do a frozen buttercream transfer (FBCT) of a fox also, you will see a few cakes with this technique.

How about getting a template of a fox head, place it over the cake, then carve it out. Then use a tip 233 for the fur or use a tip 16 and fill it in with stars.

Thanks for all your help icon_biggrin.gif I have posted a photo of the fox cake in the "theme cakes/animals" gallery. My nephew loved his cake and named the fox "Stag"! (the mind of a four year old!!) although that didn't stop him from eating it too!!!! thumbs_up.gif
