Base is made of Nigella's Storecupboard Chocolate Orange Cake, but using cherry jam rather than marmalade. Sketched Gromit using handy tips from the internet, and cut accordingly:
I hate buttercream with a passion, so had to work out something else. Loads of trial and error here, but the face is essentially an overwhipped white chocolate ganache with some melted milk chocolate added - the effect was essentially a truffle frosting. The ears were again trial and error, but turned out rather like a typical chocolate fudge frosting.
Fondant icing for whites of eyes, with melted chocolate pupils
And a big nose - cut out of melted chocolate with a scone cutter. It worked!
