Dr Seuss Cake :)

I had made this cake for work.  We celebrated a whole week for Dr Seuss.  On the day after his birthday I had brought this cake in for the children and Teachers to enjoy.  I have to thank my friend Jo, for mixing all the colors for me, so I can concentrate on the task in front of me. We didn't have two sizes of circle cake pans or square pans, so I thought since it is going to be a Dr Seuss cake why not use a circle and a square cake pan.  The first picture shows the first coating of the icing and the beginning of the star tip red layers.  The second pictures is of the fondant fish from The Cat in the Hat.  He will be sitting on top of the cake.  The rest of the pictures show the finished product.  I tried to get as many stories on there that I could fit on there.  The characters are also made out of fondant, and I used a edible marker to do the outline.  I used wire to show that the fish was splashing out of the top of the cake.  The cake was a little dense, I will have to work on that aspect of the cake better.

 

Oven that works!!!!!!!!!

I know that it has been since August since my last post.  Let me catch you up.  I had to get a second job, student loans were getting too high, on top of that I gave up on the oven at my house, the heating coil or something wasn't working.  Two weeks ago though I had moved up with a friend, and she has a working oven,  I am not going to make a lot of stuff right off the back, too much of moving and stuff but I do have a upcoming project.  Dr. Seuss birthday is on March 2nd.  Where  I am working now, I am making a birthday cake.  My friend who asked me to make this wanted me to do a topsy turvy cake but I have never made one, so I am not this time, I don't have enough time to make it.  But these two cakes I am inspired by so I will make one similar to these.  Keep looking for the updated cake pictures when I am done :).
