I found the Threadcakes contest from the Cake Wrecks blog a week or so ago. I started looking at the Threadless designs and found "Quit Howling At Me" and decided I HAD to make that into a cake. I knew right away in my head how I was to make it.

I started on Friday (July 31) afternoon by mixing a tiny amount of black and yellow gel icing colors into fondant to make a marble color. I shaped the moon's arms with the yellow fondant and made a wolf howling out of black fondant. I assembled the wolf and the moon's left arm together so that they would dry as one piece. I set aside the remaining fondant for the moon body.

Saturday (August 1) I baked the cake using a chocolate cake mix. I used a Wilton ball-shaped pan for the moon and a 9x13 sheet pan for the base. I let the cakes cool overnight.

Sunday (August 2) afternoon, I made buttercream frosting with vanilla and a hint of raspberry flavoring. I frosted all the cake pieces (2 ball halves and the sheet cake) with a crumb coat and assembled the ball pieces into a ball.

Then I frosted the base with a dark blue-purple and rolled out the fondant and spread it over the moon's body. I then used a small amount of gel icing colors and vanilla extract to paint the face of the moon and some additional streaks of color on the moon. I put the moon body on the base. Then I mixed up additional blue-purple icing with white icing in my piping bag to make my icing mountains a swirly color. I used my hands and a butter knife to give each mountain a little bit of character. Then I iced the trees with black icing. Then I added the moon's arms and the wolf.

The whole process took me about 6 hours to complete. The final assembly and decoration took me about 4.5 hours.
