Steps:

• Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package directions (any size pan).

• Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup add a few drops of green food coloring and mix.
• When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 of the remaining cookie crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, you want the cake to be just moist, not soggy.

BLACK CAT CAKE

Steps:

• Lightly dust your work surface with icing sugar, then roll out a quarter of the black fondant icing to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut out two triangles for the ears and leave to dry overnight.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter and line a 20cm round cake tin (about 7.5cm deep). Put the dark chocolate in a medium pan with the butter. Mix 1 tbsp coffee granules into 125ml cold water and add to the pan. Warm over a low heat until just melted - don't let it boil. Alternatively, melt in the microwave for about 5 mins, stirring halfway through.
• Mix the flour, bicarb and sugar with the cocoa powder. Beat the eggs with the milk. Pour the melted chocolate mixture and the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir everything together to make a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 1 hr 25-1 hr 35 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean and the top feels firm (don't worry if it cracks a bit). Leave to cool in the tin for 30 mins - the top may sink a little as it cools - then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Cut the cake horizontally into three.
• To make the frosting, put the butter in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, then stir in enough milk to make the icing fluffy and spreadable. Sandwich the layers of the cake together using a small amount of frosting. Melt the chocolate in a microwave or small bowl set over a pan of simmering water, then stir it into the remaining frosting. Use the mixture to cover the sides and the top of the cake.
• Stick the black fondant ears into the top of the cake. Cut out two yellow or orange fondant circles to make the eyes and use the black fondant to make the pupils. Stick these onto the cake and add a heart-shaped jelly sweet for the nose. Use Pocky sticks, Matchmakers or liquorice cut into lengths for the whiskers.

CAT CAKE

Steps:

• Make, bake and cool 2 (8-inch) round cake layers as directed on box. Wrap cooled cakes in plastic wrap; freeze at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Place 1 cake layer on serving plate or cardboard cake round. If top is rounded, use large serrated knife to level off. Spread thick layer of frosting on top using offset spatula or rubber spatula.
• Place second layer on top; frost sides and top of cake, using edge of offset spatula or dough scraper to distribute frosting evenly. Freeze cake while making marzipan decorations.
• On work surface, divide marzipan as follows: 1 teaspoon for cat's nose; 2 teaspoons for first layer of eyes; 1 teaspoon for second layer of eyes; 1/2 teaspoon for third layer of eyes; 1 teaspoon for mouth; 1/2 teaspoon for tongue; 2 tablespoons for outside of ears; 1 tablespoon for inside of ears; remaining for stripes.
• For each component, knead a tiny drop of food color into the marzipan (feel free to use any colors you'd like). Keep marzipan that you aren't working with under a damp paper towel so that it doesn't dry out. If using sanding sugars, you can press them into the marzipan so they stick.
• Shape nose, tongue, eyes, mouth, ears and stripes; arrange on cake. To make ears stand up, cut slit in cake the width of the ears and about 1/2 inch deep; insert ears into slits.
• For whiskers, break each piece of spaghetti in half; insert into cake. (You can also use marzipan for the whiskers.)
• To finish cake, sprinkle coconut onto sides.
