Coolest Cat Cake 24

Homemade Cat On A Ball Of Wool Cake

This cat cake was made with the assistance of my eldest son for my own birthday. It was great fun to make and I even got him rolling the 'strands of wool' out of pink fondant. He loved doing it, although an extruder would have given a much neater and professional finish.

The cake is just a plain sponge baked in 2 pudding basins and sandwiched together with buttercream and jam. Then I covered it in more buttercream to stick a layer of pink fondant icing on before the yarn strands were then stuck on (with water). A cheeky fondant kitty on the top finished the cake. We made it the same colours as our beloved cat for a personalized look.

The design is from a book called 'Easy party cakes' by Debbie Brown. I've made a number of cakes from this book and all have worked out really well.
