Shape the cakes

Trim around the top rim of the smaller cake, then cut a crescent from one side. You should be left with a slightly off-centre oval shape. Position this on the nearest edge of the larger cake. It should look like a nose. Cut a third off the fairy cakes, and position above the sponge for the ears.

Fill a piping bag with white buttercream. Using a star nozzle, cover the cake in buttercream stars. Leave some areas blank so you have space for the black icing.

Position two regular chocolate buttons for the nostrils, and two giant chocolate buttons for the eyes. Dab a little buttercream onto the giant chocolate buttons, and stick a smartie to each to give the eyes some life.
