Horton Hears A Who

My little niece turned 4 years old this Saturday and she wanted a Dr. Seuss  Horton Hears A Who birthday cake, chocolate with raspberry filling. I was more than happy to supply her with one! This is my first attempt at a “Topsy Turvey” cake. It didn’t turn out as perfect as I would have liked but I think good enough for the first try. I definitely learned a lot and will be doing things differently on my next “Topsy Turvey” cake. I made the who family out of SugarVeil. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my SugarVeil system. I have only had it for a few weeks now and have been completley amazed at how versatile it is! Horton is a cupcake that I carved and covered in fondant… I wanted it to look like he is sliding down the cake. Daughter says that he was a very clumsy elephant. I also made some cupcakes with “Specs” to match the cake. I myself have not seen the movie but my daughter schooled me on it. She said that the cake MUST have Specs on it. Apparently these are the little flowers that the who’s live on.

This cake is amazing! My daughter will turn 5 in October and she wants a Horton party. How in the world did you do this? I have a co worker who makes cakes however I’m not sure she would venture this big of a project. I hope she will! This is wonderful and I can only hope I can get something as cute as this. AWESOME JOB! HATS OFF TO YOU!!!

I’m using Horton as the theme for my son’s 2nd birthday party…would you consider re-creating the cake for a price?
