![]() ![]() Or you could just make trees and pretend the deer is hiding behind them somewhere. You could buy cute hunter/deer cake toppers. (I’ll bet you have a reindeer cookie cutter in your holiday stash.) Or you could print a silhouette of a deer, put a piece of waxed paper over it, put melted chocolate in a pastry bag and follow the lines, filling in as you go. So, you could bake and decorate deer-shaped cookies. Honestly? I don’t even know how you’d get the fondant to come out of this delicate shape. The mold is made for fondant, not chocolate. If you want to get one, they’re on eBay and Amazon, but I’ve got to warn you, just count on getting a deer torso and head. I used a cheap little silicone mold I just bought, and it was not a good application for chocolate. Apparently, you can get deer heads or Bambi. I was really surprised by the lack of chocolate molds available in the shape of deer. There are no smooth, perfect lines – this is a rustic cake for a man who’s into hunting. Or you can decorate it however you choose. You can wrap it snugly and hide it in the pantry where you’ll have sneaky little rendezvous with it for days (it just gets better and better as it ages) while you pretend to be looking for a can of mushrooms. You can let it cool and serve it just like this, or drizzle it with glaze or ganache. Spread over cake and decorate as desired. Stir over medium heat until hot but not bubbling.
