A Game of Cat & Mouse

When it comes to cartoons, I’m old-school all the way.  Me no like Pokemon, Jimmy Neutron, Bubble Guppies, etc. etc. etc.

Give me Rocky & Bullwinkle, Fred Flintstone, Bugs Bunny, or these guys…

I was super excited when a mom contacted me about doing a Tom & Jerry cake for her four-year-old son.  She chose this design to go along with Blake’s swimming party.

The cake is covered with homemade fondant which I marbled with a couple of different shades of blue to give it a watery look. I also made the name with rolled fondant.

To make Tom & Jerry, I started with a base of rice cereal treats and covered it with a combination of fondant and gum paste.  These little guys took some time to complete.

Ty was a little confused at how Tom & Jerry were able to get so close to each other without fighting.

This cake was made with 8” and 10” rounds and serves about 45.
