Step 2: 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-center 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.
Step 3: White buttercream 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.
Step 4: Chocolate buttons 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 an M&M to each to give the eyes some life.
Step 5: Black buttercream Add some black food coloring to the buttercream and mix it in thoroughly. Fill a piping bag with this black buttercream, and fill in the spaces on the cake with black buttercream stars.
Step 6: Strawberry shoelace Use a red strawberry shoelace to make a smiley mouth, and add some sugar daisies to give the cow a little color.
