I made this Kittens cake for my birthday to share with friends at dinner. I have never decorated a cake before and stumbled along this site and was inspired to give it a try. I left it till the last moment so I borrowed an idea from this site; kittens on a ball of wool.
I just made a chocolate cake sphere from two Pyrex bowls and joined and coated them with butter cream. Then used fondant to make my kittens and wool. If i could do it again i would choose a different colour than purple, and make it less Halloween looking, but I was fairly happy for my first try and I am looking forward to an opportunity to make another.
Thanks to the site for inspiring me.

How many times have you made that decoration? Because it looks like you have done it 10 times!
I think it’s amazing and not a bit Halloween-y. I rather like the deep color for the wool. If it were pink or pastel it might look too CUTESY. I think it’s perfect this way! Good job!
