How Now Brown Cow

We use wholemeal bread just to be a that little bit healthier, and in this design the brown colour works great on the cows.

If you're wondering why my wife usually makes two of everything, it's because one is for Girl and the other is for Boy. Boy is not going to school yet but she makes an extra for him so he can join in the fun.



How-to Tips
  • Use wholemeal bread or some other brown bread like rye. You can use white, but the cheesy snout won't stand out as much.
  • The ears are made from the crust, which gives them a nice darker colour. Nice detail, Wife!
  • Snout is made from sliced cheese.
  • Eyes are made from sliced cheese and the black pupils from cut seaweed.

(I'm retiring the 'What-is-it-score' section because as she becomes more practiced, the score is almost always 3-out-3)
