Ana - Ah Joe won't care. Han was impressed despite the amateurish nature of my cake making! I was kinda glad I didn't make it for the party I had at home because then I got to redescribe the cake in the fuzzy nature of my memory, suddenly all its imperfections disappeared!
lizzle - I thought you'd have figured out by now that mothers are terrible liars! I've got some absolute shocking dresses that my evil mother made me wear to weddings and stuff. Just for some form of retribution I'm going to send Han to creche in them. *muhahaha*

Awesome cake!!
How did u do it?? We are country bumpkins (David is a farmer) and was thinking for Arna's 2nd birthday to do a cow cake... (now it seems like I'm stealing ideas!  )
Arna had a "triangle" Elmo cake for her 1st birthday - was cool apart from the fact he had a pointy head!!

No Lena... Not stealing ideas! I hardly think I came up with the concept of a cow myself 
I just used a 20cm round tin and and square one. Cut a cow shaped head, two horns and two ears and two oblongs (with a shaped edge to fit around the circle) for legs and iced the heck out of them so they'd all stick together. (Almost more icing than cake hehe  )
Wasn't too bad once I discovered I could cut down the head size. Also halved the square cake to work with a thinner top layer as it was quite high.
I just looked at Han's picture books to get the shape for the head and cut out a pattern in cooking paper to cut around.
Pretty easy design process. Difficult icing though. I'm not one for fiddly stuff. Or for anything that requires patience. Or a perfectionist nature. I'm definitely from the "that'll do" school
