December 2013: This was my first attempt at animals so I did watch a couple of fondant tutorials to figure out how to make basic animal forms.Having a kitten playing with a giant yarn ball was an obvious thing I knew I wanted to do.This is supposed to be a small puppy sitting by his ball, but the ball ended up a bit squat. Once I added the stars, I couldn’t get the ball round again without altering the shape of the stars.The cake is a triple layer chocolate cake that I covered in fondant and made into the cushion.My daughter decided on the color scheme for each of the animals. This is the curious kitten.My daughter rolled the little bits of brown fondant to be dog food. The rug is made of royal icing using the “hair” tip. And the water in the dog bowl is actually Karo light corn syrup.lazy fondant dog + bone
