Cool Smokey the Cat Birthday Cake

Smokey the cat…for a cat lover. My first attempt at an animal. I carved my cake when it was still slightly frozen. When covering the cake I had to work quickly to smooth into the grooves that I had carved. I used rolled fondant for the tail and mixed tylose powder with the fondant for the ears. Slightly challenging when painting onto the fondant as it was a warm day so it was quite sticky, I did have to do another coat on the grey. Then I added florist wire for the whiskers.
