Homemade Bagpuss Cake

This Bagpuss Cake I made for my friend's daughter last May. It's made of Madeira with a buttercream filling and crumb layer and then a sugarpaste outer case.

The sugerpaste was 'feathered' to create the fur effect and the whiskas are made from florestry wire.

I try and make cakes as real as possible, some more successful than other but it's a matter of practice.

Hope you like it!

 How to make a Bagpuss cake
by: Heather

I didn't use a specific tin for the cat, the head was made from a 9" round cake tin and the body I used a grill pan and carved the body of the cat to make the shape.

The feathered effect was made by using a sharp knife and making little lines across to look like feathers or fur. The two colours were strips of fondant placed alternatively together and 'glued' together with edible glue.
