Stir, then beat well for about 2 minutes. Place mixture in prepared tin and bake for about 25 minutes until firm. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool. 3 Prepare the buttercream. Cut the cake in half to make two semi circles and sandwich together with a little of the butter icing. 4 Stand the cake on a plate. Cut a slice from each side of one end of the cake, making a narrow end to form a nose. 5 Cover the cake with the remaining buttercream, leave the face smooth and fork the butter cream over the back.
Stick the chocolate buttons over the back to form the prickles and use the jelly sweets for the eyes and nose.
