• With large serrated knife, trim off dome of cake to level surface, if needed. Line 2 small cookie sheets or trays with foil. Place 1 cake on each; cover with foil and loosely wrap each cake. Freeze about 5 hours or overnight until cakes are frozen.
• Meanwhile, cut out paper templates (template can be found under the Tips below). Place 1 tablespoon vanilla frosting in small resealable plastic bag; set aside. Tint remaining vanilla frosting golden tan using brown and orange gel food colors; cover and set aside. Place 3 tablespoons milk chocolate frosting in another small resealable plastic bag; set aside.

Frost ears, tail and body with additional milk chocolate frosting as needed to cover crumb coat, using up and down strokes to look like long fur.

Cut off small bottom corner of bag; pipe making long strands in heart shape for face, triangle shape for legs, and tip of tail and ears as shown in photo. Cut off small bottom corner of bag containing milk chocolate and golden tan frosting. (Squeeze small amount of frosting out as a test to be sure both colors are coming out of hole.)
