This instructable covers how to make a cake that looks like your cat mauled it. I am not sure why this needed to be made, but here it is!

Alternate title: how to make a cake that looks like you dropped it in the grass. The "hair" turned out a little green. This is what happens when you don't plan ahead. :P

During brainstorming of this cake, the office came up with both cotton candy and hard sugar being good hair substitutes. I wish I could have found regular cotton candy and done that on chocolate frosting. That would have made excellent hairballs.

  • a cake (I just used boxed cake mix and canned frosting.)
  • a hard candy recipe
  • some food coloring
  • hours of free time
This is not going to be super detailed since I was winging it. :D

Pah, faking it is cheating - just wait until you've had a real one that's had hasty repairs.

I'm rather curious as to how that turned out...

This is awesome for all the wrong reasons :) I kind of want to make this for our next office potluck as my own form of passive-aggressive resistance to forced, feigned workplace joy and camaraderie.

You, sir, are a king amongst men.

I had read the title a few times, and just had to click on the thumbnail to see it. It sure looks like a cat mauled it, nicely done.
