How to make an edible cat cake topper
What you will need:
Sugarpaste in brown, white and black
Dresden tool
Edible glue
Paintbrush
What to do:
- Roll a smooth ball of brown sugarpaste, and roll one end of it into an egg shape to make the body of the cat.
2. Roll two sausages, tapering them at one end, then stick them to the front of the egg shape, with the fatter end at the bottom of the body.
3. Roll two more sausages of brown sugarpaste and bend them at one end to create the foot.
4. Stick these to the sides of the body.
5. Roll a smooth ball of brown sugarpaste, smaller than the body to create the head and stick it to the body.
6. Roll two small balls of brown paste and shape them into triangle shapes. Stick them to the top of the cat’s head.
7. Roll two small balls of brown sugarpaste and flatten slightly. Stick them to the bottom half of the head. Using a Dresden tool mark dots on each of the flattened balls to create the idea of whiskers.
8. Roll 2 tiny balls of white sugarpaste and roll these slightly to create small fat sausage shapes. Stick these in position for the eyes and flatten as you stick them down. Roll two smaller balls of black sugarpaste and stick these to the bottom of the white shapes on the face. Roll a small ball of black sugarpaste and push this into the space at the top of the flattened circles to create the nose.
9. To make the tail, roll a long thin sausage of brown paste and stick it to the back of the cat’s body.
And your cat is finished!
