The Wubbulous World Of Dr. Seuss

I was so excited to do this cake! I love the whimsy of Dr. Seuss. The cake was supported by a wooden dowel which was screwed into the wooden cake board. My husband was so sweet to do it for me without any hesitation. I know this cake would have probably ended up a disaster without his help. It consists of (4) 6" round cakes. The bottom 3 were doweled for additional support and in between the cakes were cake boards just a little smaller than the actual cakes and with a hole in the middle which allowed the main support dowel to run through it. I iced it in butter cream, then covered with 2 large strips of fondant along the diameter and topped off with a circle on top. Instead of coloring the actual fondant red, I decided to paint it by mixing a little vanilla, water and red gel coloring. Then, I added white strips of fondant which hid the seams of the red fondant. The fish bowl is made of rice crispies and all other decor is made with 50/50 gumpaste and fondant. Thing 1 and Thing 2 had royal icing hair. So that is that. Hope this will inspire you.
