Dr. Seuss Cake

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!  

Funny, it's actually a coincidence I'm posting this on Dr. Seuss's birthday but it's pretty fitting!!

I made this cake a few weeks ago when asked if I could make a cake for the dance team at one of the local high schools for their school cake auction. If you remember I made this cake last year for the same cake auction for the baseball team.

The dance team's theme was Children's Books. Each girl donated their favorite children's book to make a basket for the auction and wanted a cake to go along with the theme. They gave the freedom to choose the design and books to create. I wanted to do something well-known but not too difficult for the cover page. I decided on Dr. Seuss, who doesn't love him?!?!

What do you think?

Cake Auction

Last week Davenport West High School's boosters had a cake auction fundraiser event during the West/Assumption basketball game. Each sports team was asked to participate by donating a cake and a gift basket to be raffled off during the game. As a baseball coaches wife and baker, Head Coach Jones asked me if I would like to donate a baseball themed cake and get my name out there. Of course I'm not going to say no to a fundraiser...or free advertising ;)

For the cake I made a baseball base with the the teams signature "DW"on all their apparel. It's a vanilla cake, with a keylime filling and vanilla buttercream covered in marshmallow fondant.

Unfortunately I still don't know how my cake did but I do know the auction raised nearly $3,000!!!! Now that's pretty amazing!!
