Ok, so I know I have a cat that loves carbs. Actually I have 2 of them. Several months ago I made a cake, the 2nd one because the first one came out and looked like an earthquake hit. I didn't have room on the counter to let it cool it was a half sheet cake so I left it on the dining table to cool. I came in and saw a heart shape carved into the corner. I thought my husband was being cute since he knews I cut off the top of the cake anyway. Turns out he didn't do it which only left a cat getting on the table and creatively eating 2 bits that looked like a heart. The cake was salvageable as I had to cut it off anyway.
Ever since that cake I've been very careful not to leave edible cake things on the table. Until tonight! I made a cake, it was perfect. 9" round and gorgeous. I sat on the couch while it cooled and kept the more likely of the 2 suspects close at hand while the cake was cooling. When I got up to to check the check no less than 1 cup of cake was gone from my beautiful round cake. =( Now I know it wasn't my small trouble maker since I kept her with me in the living room. It was my big fat round tubby cat. She quietly snuck up on the table and had time to eat a lot of cake. I never even heard her. My husband said, now you know why she's so tubby.
Moral of the story, get more counter space or cover the cakes when they are cooling.
The culprit is below.

And now I have to make another 9" round layer along with 2 12" layers. It's too late tonight I was hoping to be icing the 9" cake while the 12" was baking. It's a good thing she's cute.
