If you cannot achieve the effect with a knife, you can make them overhead, from individual inflorescences.
2. Make a body from 2 lush, but not too large heads of cauliflower. The small segment is placed so that the dog appears to be seated. The hind legs are obtained from the short cut leg. A larger piece of the inflorescence for the body is set on top, slightly shifting forward.
