Seussical Sweets
February 21, 2010 Do you like cake,
And do you like Dr. Seuss?
Can you not bake,
But only gawk like a goose?

Then, I have a surprise!
(One aimed to please)
Just open your eyes,
And take a gander at these!

Well, we're all out of time,
And that's probably best for you,
Since my ability to rhyme,
Is frankly less than impressive.

I teach second grade and my absolute favorite time of the school year is Seuss's birthday. Read Across America is almost as important as Christmas in my holiday hierarchy.
That last rhyme made me think of "The Private Eyes," with Don Knotts and Tim Conway.
It's a lotta kicks!
I love the Horton Hears a who reference on the baby shower cake!!! SOO PERFECT!!!
I didn't grow up with Dr Seuss (yeah, cultural differences), so I guess I'm missing the nostalgia factor, but these are absolutely fantastic! especially the last one - how did they even do that?
I sit and am amazed everyday on this site. Most days it is that someone could build such a bad cake then try to sell it. But Sunday's WOW makes me wish I had half as much talent as these people.
And I am with everyone else, how did she do those water droplets!! I mean really someone has to relive the secrets
Oh, aren't those fabulous!
You know you are really ruining my ability to order a simple birthday cake. My standards are too high! :) I go to my local bakery and think, ugghh, is that all they can do.
Laughed out loud at your closing poem. Well played as I am supposed to be paying attention to this presentation at church!
Of most kids books, dr suess are my least fav. But those cakes are fantastic.
I love Dr. Seuss! These cakes are brilliant, and your rhymes are great, especially the last one =D
(Did you know they have actually edited later publications of Dr. Seuss books? Some of the 'scarier' monsters taken out of Wocket in my Pocket, for example. Pah. Kids these days are way too coddled!)
These are SO AWESOME! My daughter would love if I could make her a cake like this.
UH-MAZING! Great cakes!
WOW.
I do not like green cakes and ham,
I do not like them Jen-I-am!
But I do love your blog. It is a family reading affair and I share it with everyone who needs a good laugh (or a look of horror). So I have nominated you for a Beautiful Blogger award. Come by and pick it up!

Really beautiful cakes.. I am nearly recovered from those horrid engagement cakes..
I am really missing a Yertel cake.
These are all so enchanting & delightfully whimsical, just like the Seuss books are, well done!!!
Pretty cakes and Dr. Seuss... doesn't get much better than that. :)
Oh man....those are ALL beautiful works of art! Talented cake crew!
Cookie Monster, I feel your pain. These cakes are amazing and I want one for my very own.
But, if it makes you feel any better, customers purchasing one of these cakes are paying serious money for both decorator fees and royalty fees for the use of licensed characters. Or both the decorator and customer are in danger of a hefty copyright violation suit. Either way, it can get very pricey.
"I love to eat cake in the tub!" Fabulous!
Freakin' gorgeous cakes!! I'm in awe of the artistry. Amazing!
wv: swizatic, adj. meaning ecstatic to the nth degree, as in:
"I'm swizatic over these Sunday Sweets!"
What a fun theme to design a cake for! I wish I could decorate like that, just so I could make a Dr. Seuss cake.
Love the musical references! :D
I would have been a dancer
But I couldn't keep the time
I would have been a poet
But I couldn't... make the words fit...
I just love your jokes, Ken! Ever thought of trying out for a comedy/talent show? Oh, and about the mario cake with the cars... it's a wreck, cuz the yoshi is on a 64 kart. Really, it is. Just thought ya wanted ta know! Oh, and yoshi is the green one.
I love these!
I want one of those for my birthday!! My birthday is on March 2nd...same as Dr. Seuss and I have NEVER had a Dr. Seuss cake :(
These cakes are Seuss-tastic!
