Tom & Jerry

This is my first buttercream birthday cake in 12 years.

I have a love-hate relationship with buttercream --- I just hate working with that stuff.... but ALL my teahcers told me that buttercream is the mother of all cream.... master that and you are on your way in cake decorating.... But still......

Well anyway, at midnight with a migraine throbbing and the one million dollar question, "Why did I ever agree to do this?", my family and I finished the cake.

This morning, the look on the birthday boy's mother's face and her grateful 'Thank You'  wiped away all my exhaustion and the million dollar question was answered.

Here's the cake.... If it doesnt look like Tom & Jerry .... pls let me know... Tom looks real angry to me ...
