Any ideas on how to best do Chewbaca fur on a cake?  I'm not big on the grass piping tip.  Cake will be covered in fondant but they do want the fur texture.

Thank you for any ideas!

Any tip with big teeth will work if you drag the icing a bit to emphasize the teeth marks.

I was going to say to use a dresden tool to make the texture, but shazza has the better tool above!

I bought a fur mold for my Elmo and sloth.  Worked great!

Well, I didn't have time to get the brush so I used modeling chocolate, a pairing knife and that "seashell" modeling tool that comes with most marzipan sets.
