Topsy Turvy style!
Of I've seen some in the shape of books and then decorated to look like Seuss book covers.
How fun! You could carve the hat out of a sheet cake. Kids would love green cake (green eggs and ham) or a cake with the elephant ?horton? I think is his name. Please post a picture when you make it
Beth,
Yes his name is Horton, but now, should he be Hearing A Who or Hatching The Egg?
Those were my favorite Seuss stories growing up - thanks for the reminder.
For the cake, it has definitely got to be the hat, done topsy turvy.

I have seen a couple of that style on here ... do a search in a the gallery and you should be able to find them. There is one that I thought was amazing that had characters from the different books (cat in the hat, one fish, two fish ... etc.)
I'm jealous, I've been looking for an excuse to make one! lol
The hat is pretty easy, I did one for my son's class for Dr Seuss' b-day. I covered a couple round cake boards in white freezer paper to be the brim of the hat, then baked (I think) 4-8" round cakes and stacked them for the hat. I offset the top layer a smidge to give it the slightly crooked look. I put cake boards under each layer, and a dowel through the whole thing to hold it together. With the boards between layers, cutting for the class was pretty easy as each layer was the same thickness - no arguments over sizes.
I am doing a Dr. Seuss cake for a friend's baby shower this weekend. I jumped at the chance to make this one! I am going to try out my new sugar veil system to make the characters and do different ones on each of 3 tiers. I will post a pic next week.
Well, I finished the cake and it was a big hit at the baby shower! I was really pleased with the way it came out. I love sugarveil!!

That is one really great cake! Send us pictures of the other side! I am so glad you like your sugarveil. I tried mine a couple of times, then put it away. I guess it's time to break it out again!

Kate,
The best way to explain SugarVeil is to give you the link to the website.
