Can you make me a cake???

A friend was going to be celebrating her 60th birthday, so I asked her partner if he would like me to make the cake, which he agreed. 'Can you do a cat theme?' Thinking I had loads of time to make it and ice it, suddenly it was ten days before the event and I hadn't even baked it. Once the cake was made I 'played' with it each night until it was finished.

I was delighted with how it turned out and had great fun making it. And it tasted superb (if I do say so myself). The birthday girl was very moved when she was presented with her cake and didn't want to cut into it. She was soon persuaded by the crowd, but did save the cats.
Cheers
