Follow me if you need a place, it won't go away if you want the space

Today was the seventh birthday of our beautiful cats Hestia Hermia Linsky-Noyes and Tybalt Autolycus Taaffe, in honor of which we served them a dinner of non-emergency kipper and praised them for all their fine catly qualities and the unstinting joy they have given us since their days of soot spritehood.

Today was also my mother's birthday observed, in honor of which my father made a triple-layer almond-flour cake wreck decorated with two colors of fondant and cocoa-dusted homemade marzipan to the tune of a Swiss cheese wheel inhabited by mice with ears of split almond. My niece gleefully hunted the latter and ate all their tails.

I feel a theme was successfully achieved.

That's a delightful cake!

What an amazing cake! Are they always this cunning? What a treat! Is the almond flour because of gluten intolerance? (I know you have many food restrictions; I forget if wheat flour is one)

I love your cats' full names.

That cake is great! I made a rainbow cake with fondant frosting for my roommate several years ago and similarly found that it took ages. Also I screwed up the fondant so props to your father for not getting little gelatin nodules all through his.

That cake is fantastic!! Happy birthdays to all (including almond mice)

The happiest of birthdays, three times over! May all members of the birthday trio celebrate many, many more. :)

Sweet Labrador icon used because he loved everyone, and the torbie in my kitty icon wasn't so much enamored with members of her own species.

HOW can they be seven, they are just little baby olive cats, or they were yesterday!

A very happy natal day to them both.

That cake is stupendous. The mouse peering out of the hole in the cheese just slays me. I hope your niece presented the rest of each de-tailed mouse to people she felt deserved them.
