Roll out peanut butter candy clay and cut out a tear drop shape using a 3 inch metal cutter to create Hognob's head.
Cut two small triangles for Hognob's ears.
Pinch off a small piece of the candy clay and shape it into an oval nose.
Attach it to the tear drop head using clear piping gel.
Press the end of a wooden skewer or lollipop stick into the oval to create two nostrils.
Roll a small piece of peanut butter clay into a thin log for Hognob's lower lip.
Pinch off small pieces of white candy clay to create two tusks and 3 small teeth.
Use piping gel to attach the tusks and teeth just below the nose then attach the lower lip along the bottom edge of the teeth and wrapping up around the bottom edge of the tusks.
Create three wrinkles above Hognob's nose using a fondant/gumpaste tool or toothpick.
Attach two candy eyes using clear piping gel.
Spoon peanut butter frosting into a pastry bag.
Pipe peanut butter frosting fur over top of a cupcake.
Press one Hognob head onto the frosting so that the curved edge lines up with one edge of the cupcake.
Pipe on more fur and a tuft of hair over top of the pointed edge of the tear drop shaped head.
Bend the triangle pieces of peanut butter candy clay into curved ears and attach one on either side of Hognob's head near the top of the cupcake.
