How to make a wolf cake?

Question

Hi. I hope I put this in the right section. My adoptive brother Steve's birthday's coming up (Sept. 11), and, since I will see him for class on that day, I wanted to make him a cake. He really likes wolves, and I wanted to incorporate that. Problem is, I'm not quite sure how to do it. I at first thought about doing a cake that had a bunny on the wolf's head, and a bug (dragonfly, maybe) on it's nose, to represent the friendship he, I, and my other adoptive brother Mike share. But... I'm not the best @ drawing... So I wanted to get opinions from people, since I don't feel like paying someone to do it. My mom used to do cakes professionally, so she can help me.

Any ideas?
p.s. The bunny is me, the wolf is Steve, and the bug is mike.

Ok, here's what I found... here is a link to a lion-shaped cake. You may have to get creative and adapt some of these animals into a wolf shape... You know, cut the face a little slimmer... get your creative juices flowing, maybe, by checking out the links below... am looking for a specifically wolf-shaped cake. DOn't know if I'll find one.
