For Katie's birthday, her boyfriend requested a "red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting in the shape of a white cat." Done and done. The problem? When we cut in to it, it looked like a massacre. Very "bleedin' armadillo groom's cake" a la Steel Magnolias.
The crowd enjoyed it, but it bothers me that the cat looks more like a sheep.
I started off without the fur element but the cat looked homeless and like one of those naked cats without any fur. So I added the fur, but then it looked too much like a sheep. Solution? Collar with ID. Unfortunately, the face, feet, and writing was already done on the naked version, so those parts were just shaved looking.
The ears, tail, nose, and collar were made of fondant, the cake was red velvet, and everything else is cream cheese frosting. Lots of cream cheese frosting.
