Hi all,
My stepsister is having her son's 4th birthday party at the Dr. Seuss Museum. I did a search for Dr. Seuss and Cat in the Hat cakes, and there are some really cute ones! Love the topsy turvy ones, but I'm just not ready for that yet. Anyone have any other suggestions?? Are FBCT's really hard for a newbie??
Thanks!!

How about Yertle the Turtle? A totem-pole-type of cake of turtles stacked on top of each other....
Horton Hears a Who ... Elephant head with a tiny little "who" somewhere nearby ....
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish ... red and blue fishes .......
Or maybe just a "Dr. Seuss Village" scene ... houses and bushes and cars shaped in unusual ways with unusual color combinations, as if you were really in one of Dr. Seuss' imaginary towns..............
Good Luck with it! Post your photos!!!!!
Doesn't have to be Cat in the Hat...those are some good ideas! I'll have to think about this...
An easy place to think: the children's section at your local library. they should have all the books if you don't. Then you can really get a jump start on the design and all!
FBCTs are actually really easy and look beautiful. I can't wait to see pictures - what a fun theme!!!
I did the Seuss cake in my photos for my 4 year olds preschool class -- I did half the batter red and half white to look cool when cut...
I did the Hat as a gel transfer using a coloring book page I found on the internet and blowing it up as large as I could using a copy machine...it really was an easy cake and the kids loved it!

I do have all the books...I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old!
I'm thinking I might stick with the Cat in the Hat, because it's most recognizable by little kids.
lcottington - great cake!! How do you dye only have the cake? I don't get it 
and how do you do a gel transfer? Did you just transfer the outline of the hat, and fill it in with a star tip?
thanks so much everyone!
How do you dye only have the cake? I don't get it
.....thanks so much everyone!
Kate: I know you didn't ask me this question, but maybe this will help you. In the past, I have made a "marble" cake for school band, whose colors are blue and white. What I did was make 2 white mixes, pour most in pan, take about 1/2 of one mix and put back in mixer with blue food coloring and mix thoroughly. Then I put the blue onto the white in the pans in "plops" and ran a knife through to marbelize. The blue color intensified in the oven, but it was perfect!!!
I would think you can do the same thing only determine how you will pour the two colors into your pan(s). Good Luck!
thank you! Marble sounds pretty easy..I'm just picturing like a checkerboard or something with the red and white
There is a checkerboard cake pan ... it's round and has 2 rings in the interior. I don't have one, but I believe that you pour alternating colors within each ring ... red in center, white next, red on outside for top and bottom layers, then switch the colors for the middle layer. when cut, the slices look like a checkerboard ... I think my local Meijer store (here in midwest) has a pan like this, so it must be fairly available.
good luck!
