My daughter Lilly was totally obsessed with the PBS Kids show “The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That!” just before her second birthday in 2012. I researched and found i could find plenty of decorations on the theme and decided to go with it. I had recently began making cakes for my children in stead of buying them at the big box retail stores. I love the childrens’ reactions to the cakes their momma makes for them. Its creating a memory not just a party! I dcided to attempt and original design using the cats’ hat! I purchased the largest cake box i could find, a sheet of foam poster board, and some red metallic cello wrapping paper. I then cut the board to fit hte box and wrapped it in the red metallic paper. I used a sheet cake pan and baked two cakes out of it. I laid them side by side and cut and trimmed to fit the board, leavng aporx. and ich around the perimeter of the cake. I ced the cake in white Wiltons tub icing tinted with aqua to match the teal in the cat in the hat book cover. Then for the hat i baked using 4″ round cake pans and cut each cake in half. I then arranged the cakes standing on end in layers and stuck straws through them down into the cake for stability, cutting the strwas flush at top. For the brim i used a 8″ pan and cut it down to size. I then used the reds and whites as in the cats hat and finished off with black decorators icing to mimic the drawings in the book and show! EVERYONE LOVED IT! I am so proud of this cake! It could also be a great library type function cake or an event cake for a schools Dr. Suess Birthday party. I hope you all enjoy this design! * *To finish the cake off, I added some piping around the edges and printed the logo off on photo paper and attached to toohpick and inserted into the cake before cutting.
