To form muzzle, flatten two 1 oz. pieces of fondant to 2 1/2 in. circles; position on cake.

Tint 4 oz. fondant black. Use 3/4 in. ball of black fondant to form nose, 1/2 in. ball of each white and black to make mouth and bottom lip.

Roll 1/2 in. white fondant ball for whites of eyes. Use tip 3 band black icing to pipe lines between toes and eye pupils (smooth with finger dipped in cornstarch).
