Samson the Cat

I made this cake (way back in August) for a friend of my son. The cat and mice are based on one of her favorite books, Samson and the Church Mice. I still smile when I look at the photo, so I thought I'd post it.
The mice, cat ears, and cat tail are made of marzipan. The cat was sculpted from cake and is iced with tinted buttercream that I texturized using a skewer.
