Cat Face Fondant Birthday Cake

My friend Heather asked me to make a cat face cake for her daughter Riley’s 18th birthday so of course I said yes because I love cats more than I love making cakes!  This is an 8″ vanilla cake (from the White Almond Sour Cream cake recipe) with buttercream icing and Wilton brand chocolate fondant from Michaels.  All the decorations are fondant except for the whiskers which are black licorice.  I got these great new tools called PenBlades from Pick Your Plum which were so perfect for cutting the fondant to make the ears and the eyes, if you’re into crafting or cake decorating, you should check them out.  I love this cake!  Happy Birthday Riley!
