  • To create the owl, place the cut up buttons onto the cake and work your way upwards to create the feathers. The add the giant buttons and use a small amount of melted chocolate to add the white button then a drop to create the centre of the eye. Using a little melted chocolate, attach the fudge pieces at an angle to create the nose
