Cut one of you 8" rounds in half. Put buttercream on one half and place other half on top. Place on Cake board towards one end so the curve side is facing up. Take second 8" round and cut in 1/4's. Place a quarter on each side of the inverted half towards the rear and front. these will be the thighs and paws of your skunk.
Mold Skunk head out of Rice Krispies. Cover in a thin layer of buttercream and cover with black fondant. Cover body with buttercream. Attack head with skewer to body than drape the rest of the body with the black fondant.
Cut out a tail from the 9x13 cake, cover with buttercream and drape with fondant. Attach to body. Take strips of frayed white fondant and place a strip along back and tail. Using a small plastic wheel cutter gently roll back and forth on fondant to create fur effect. Add bow, flowers or anything else to doll up little stinky!"
