Even the most superstitious guest will enjoy crossing paths with this black cat, crafted from sparkling sugar.
To assemble the stenciled layer cake, fill and frost two 8-inch-round layers with your favorite icing, leaving a smooth surface. Roll out black fondant, into a 1/8-inch-thick sheet, and with a ruler as a guide, cut three strips long enough to wrap around the cake's circumference; adhere, using extra dabs of icing, if needed.
Re-create this black cat silhouette by downloading our super-simple stencil. Chill the cake, then immediately before serving, center the stencil on top. Fill in the stencil with black sanding sugar, leaving the edges a little messy for a spooky effect. Add a candy-coated sunflower seed (find a variety at sunflowerfoodcompany.com) or half a yellow M&M for the cat's eye.
