This “fun” cake took me an entire day to create with help from my cousin who is the 1ne who commissioned it… as well as my 2wo Daughters. Now, “Mommy, can I eat the frosting?”, “Mommy, can I put the frosting on the cake?”, “Mommy, can I eat the frosting, please?”, “Mommy, can I help with the ball of yarn?”, “Mommy, can I PLEASE have some frosting?!”, “Mommy, can I help roll the fondant?”, “Oh! FLOUR!” and “Mommy! PLEASE! I HAVE to try the Pink frosting!” may not sound like much help, but they’re 4our and 5ive, that is as good as it gets after allowing them to put ingredients into the mixer. *lol* And, this is why it took me all day.
This was for a 1st Birthday. Simple cake, no filling, all hand-made. I applied the Pink frosting and all the Black pearls by hand. The kitties were molded from fondant by my cousin and the eyes, noses, toes and collars are icing I added afterward. The kitty prints are fondant and icing.
Now the ball of yarn on the top, I am especially proud of. I used a 2wo sided round cake pan and adhered them together with frosting. All the “yarn” is hand-piped on and took me the most time, but so worth it in the end. That was used as the birthday girl’s personal cake. 🙂
Not bad at all for my 1st big cake!
