Tom and Jerry Cake

This cake was made for some friend's of our's two kids that were having a joint birthday. I was very excited to make this cake but this to me was a bit of an odd request for kids turning 3 and 5 because the cartoon is so old school (I grew up watching Tom and Jerry) and now-a-days there are 50 million other cartoons on TV, so I totally expected something like Sponge Bob or something along those lines. I was given total creative freedom on this cake which was awesome, but the only thing I had to do was make Tom girly, so I added pink flower earrings. The bottom cake was chocolate with chocolate fudge filling and covered in purple fondant with polka dots for Anika and the top cake was white with raspberry filling and covered in green fondant with stars for Devan. Tom and Jerry and the wood mallet were sculpted from Rice cereal treats and covered in fondant. I really love the way this cake turned out and so did everyone else including the birthday boy and girl and their parents which was most important. Happy birthday Devan and Anika!
