Coolest Dr Seuss Birthday Cake

I got ideas from here and then added my own! This Dr Seuss birthday cake turned out better than expected and loved by all!

I started with a 16″ square, then I next made a 10″ round for the hat base. I then made 6″ rounds to form the hat. I could not find a cake topping anywhere so I used free clip art, modge poge them (to make stiff) and perfect. I bought the Bead Blings at Michael’s and bought beads to match the cake.

This cake was made for my grand-baby’s 1st birthday party where the theme was of course Dr Seuss. This is the 4th lg cake I’ve ever tried and I have to say, even I was impressed. Thank you for a wonderful page that helped me to imagine!

  1. If you are not a professional cake decorator you should be this is gorgeous! I am a preschool teacher and I am going to try to use some of your ideas to make a cake for DR. Seuss birthday. My talent will not come close to yours but I will try the hat . thanks

  2. You did a spectacular job!!!!! I would love to use your cake as a guide for making my grandson’s first birthday cake. He is having a Dr. Seuss themed party. How did you determine the amounts of icing to prepare for your colors?

  3. I just kept adding the color gel to achieve the color I was happy with. The hardest was the red, (no taste red) I ended up using 2 jars. I bought the black icing in the tubes due to it’s perfect color and I only used 3 tubes. As for the amount of icing I did have left overs but it was ok, I took it with me to fix the tops of the cake once separated. I hope this helped a bit and sorry I just saw your question today.

  4. Jennifer,

    I just cut MDF to support the cake and wrapped it in Wrapping paper then covered it with 20mm plastic I got at Joann’s. TY

  5. Hi, I made the platter out of MDF and then wrappped it in paper I found to match and then covered that with 20g plastic that I picked up at Joann’s. Now I have the board for all my 16″ Squares. :)
