*Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, please go here.I got a cat a few weeks ago. He's the cutest, cuddliest, and most vocal kitten I've ever met and I don't know what I'd do without him. His name is pancake! To welcome him to his new home, all the way from Dallas! I wanted to make a special cake with cute little cats all over it. It's a basic neapolitan cake. Vanilla cake. Chocolate ganache. Strawberry buttercream. Nuff said.Want to make this neapolitan cake a little differently? You could skip the ganache and do fresh strawberries in the middle and a chocolate buttercream. Now doesn't that sound like heaven!?!?Want to learn how to get images onto cookies and even cakes and chocolates?
