Five year old's birthday cake request was for a rainbow cat cake – which was a big surprise!

He was really into Super Mario and Astro Bot. So, we thought he might want a more generic cake. Not the case!

He saw a picture online of a cake, and I thought to myself that I could imagine how it was made in stages. I like baking, but I've definitely never made anything this intricate. I decided I could try to do it. I had mostly modest resources so I wasn't sure how it'd come out, but he was very happy with it!

The eyes were supposed to be made of melted chocolate and be more cat like, but they broke upon peeling them off the wax paper.

He wasn't expecting it to be a rainbow inside, but he thought that was the most impressive part. I mean, it's definitely not perfect, but I didn't expect it to be so rewarding to make his birthday cake. It might become a yearly tradition.

    You did an amazing job! I’m really curious how you got the icing to have a tie dye look like that.
