 Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Chocolate, Candy, Cookies
      Yield: 30 Servings

   1320 g  (3 packets) golden butter
           - cake mix w/icing sachets
    400 g  Toblerone chocolate bar
      2    Mini Oreo cookies
      2    Brown M&M's Minis
      1    Oreo cookie

MMMMM---------------------BUTTERCREAM ICING--------------------------
    500 g  Unsalted butter; softened
  3 3/4 c  Icing sugar mixture
      2 tb Milk
           White icing colouring; opt
           Copper and orange gel food
           - colourings

  EQUIPMENT: 40cm cake board or plate, 7cm-deep X 15cm
  round cake pan, Electric mixer, Piping bags, 2 "grass"
  piping nozzles.

  Set oven @ 180+ºC/360+ºF (160+ºC/315+ºF fan).

  Grease a 7cm-deep, 15cm round cake pan and a 7cm-deep,
  20cm round cake pan. Double line bases and sides with
  baking paper, extending paper 5cm above edges of pans.

  Reserve icing sachets from cake mixes. Prepare cake
  mixes following packet directions. Pour mixture into
  prepared 20cm pan until half full. Pour remaining
  mixture into remaining prepared pan (mixture will come
  up almost to the top of 15cm round pan). Bake 15cm pan
  for 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the
  centre of cake comes out clean. Bake 20cm pan for 1 hour
  or until a skewer inserted into the centre of cake comes
  out clean. Stand cakes in pans for 10 minutes. Turn,
  top-side up, onto wire racks lined with baking paper.
  Cool completely.

  MEANWHILE, MAKE BUTTERCREAM ICING; Using an electric
  mixer, beat butter for 8 to 10 minutes or until light
  and fluffy. Gradually add reserved icing sachets and
  icing sugar, beating until well combined. Add milk. Beat
  until combined. Divide icing between 2 bowls. Add enough
  white colouring to 1 portion, if using, to make icing
  white. Tint remaining portion orange with copper and
  orange food colouring.

  Using a serrated knife, level tops of cakes. Place fox
  head template (see Emma's tips) on 15cm cake. Secure
  with toothpicks. Cut around template to form head.
  Discard scraps. Place fox body template on 20cm cake.
  Secure with toothpicks. Cut around template to form
  body. Reserve scraps. Using tail template as a guide,
  trim reserved cake scraps to form a tail. Using the
  picture as a guide, arrange head, body and tail on a
  cake board or serving plate.

  Spread top and side of cake with white icing. Break
  Toblerone bar into 2 x 4 triangle strips. Reserve
  remaining Toblerone for another use. Using the picture
  as a guide, place Toblerone pieces above head to form
  ears (use cake scraps underneath to make them sit flat,
  if necessary). Spoon orange icing into a piping bag
  fitted with a "grass" nozzle. Using the pic as a guide,
  pipe icing onto cake and ears to form fur. Spoon
  remaining white icing into a clean piping bag fitted
  with the "grass" nozzle. Pipe icing onto end of tail
  to form fur.

  Using a small, sharp knife split Mini Oreos leaving
  icing attached to 1 cookie half. Discard un-iced
  cookies. Using the picture as a guide, place Mini Oreo
  pieces on head, icing-side up, to form eyes. Using a
  little icing, attach M&M's Minis to icing to form
  pupils. Position Oreo cookie on head to form a nose.

  Serve.
