We celebrated Paige's Birthday on Monday with Grandparents. Since Paige has been interested in cats lately I decided to make her a cat cake. I looked all over online and didn't really find anything that I loved. Then about a week before her birthday I got a magazine in the mail and it had ideas for different birthday parties. In those ideas was a picture and directions for a kitty cat cake. I loved it!! I knew it was meant to be. I decided to alter it a little bit because the picture was a blue cat and I wanted to make a pink one for her. After I got baking and assembling the cake I realized that the directions were not very good. The directions said to bake the cake in an oven proof bowl. But it did not say what size of bowl. I didn't think much about this until after I had baked the cake and was about to put the snowballs on for the cheeks and realized that the snowballs were huge compared to the rest of the cake. I didn't know what to do because I needed to finish the cake, but I was afraid it wouldn't work out. Well I went ahead and finished and it turned out alright. It ended up looking a little more animated than the original picture, but she loved it. Next time, if there is a next time, I would bake the cake in a bigger bowl so the face is more proportioned! Paige was excited about it and kept saying "meow, meow". I think it was a success!
