So I just completed my first ever attempt at carving a cake for my niece's bday later today. I think I would have liked a rounder head but my SIL and brother are pleased as punch!The actual carving wasn't too bad but trying to make the "fur" was monsterous!! I still have to work on that! Any suggestions are welcome!

P.S. I attached a pic of my neice's bday kitten as well. I was supposed to try and replicate the markings.

TIA!

Thanks to all of you!! You really made my day! Between your wonderful comments, my DH saying I "wow him more with each new cake" and my niece's expression I can't think of a prouder moment....ok the birth of my daughter....but as far as cake decorating goes. I've only been at it a little more then a year and all your kind words me so much!
