I made a lemon cake with lemon curd buttercream covered in white sugarpaste. I covered the bottom board in white sugarpaste also. To clean up the edges between the cake and the covered board – piped back icing in pearls.
Then made the cat and constructed on top of the cake securing with royal icing. Black paw prints used up the last of the black sugarpaste. Bought four yellow and one white sugarmice (from old fashioned sweet shop) and dusted one brown and four grey – secured onto cake with royal icing.
The Cat Cake Design was commissioned for a leaving do of a teacher from school – the brown mouse is her escaping whilst the four grey ones are her colleagues left behind!!
Hi,
The cake is amazing! I’m looking to replicated with more tiers. Although I’m struggling with the whiskers for the cat and what you used to dust the mice?
This cake is a bit like one I made – great minds think alike! I was so surprised to see yours and have shared my cake on here too.
The sugar mice are a great idea.
She probably used edible dust/dusting powder colour. Sugarcraft and Squires make it. It comes in all sorts of colours including metallics.
I have to do the same thing for a teacher’s “big” birthday. She is cat mad and that is exactly what we had in mind. Thank you.
