Cool Homemade Cat in the Hat Cake

This cake was so much fun! I was inspired by one I saw online, I searched and searched for the perfect cake for my friends little girl. I found one that had the fish bowl ontop but must have been a little plain for her cause she was much less excited about the cake! So I went to search again and came across this cake. I sculpted all the items from fondant and let them dry overnight. (longer is sometimes necessary) Cat in the Hat’s face was a little difficult to get right, not completely satisfied but it had to do! He is supported throughout his body with toothpicks to keep him sturdy since he stands. I used edible markers to draw the star and lines on the ball and ‘painted’ the red stripe with food coloring. I cut the kite from white fondant and painted it. I ran a post from top to bottom of the cake since it has the topsy turvy effect and I didn’t want it going anywhere. The cakes, this is a three layer white cake dirty iced and filled with buttercream and covered in buttercream fondant. In the post I found the picture I used, she mentioned that she used red velvet and buttercream in the hat to mimic the pattern when cut! I thought that was a great idea but it was late and I had not time to run out for red velvet cake! I was very satisfied with the end result and am happy to share my version of ‘The Cat in the Hat’!
