I think one of the best characters in "The Cat in the Hat©" is the neurotic goldfish who always worries what mother will think about the antics of the Cat. CDHM Forum member Teresa Tremaine made a really cool fish tank cake complete with goldfish, seaweed, and bubbles.
I love the frosting and the blue sprinkles on top of the cake. I can just picture Fish popping out of the top giving the Cat a piece of his mind!
Speaking of craziness, here are some cakes that I know the Cat would love balancing on top of his hat: This teeny tiny multicolored cake made by Courtney Strong would be a perfect candidate for the story, but I think that Thing 1 and Thing 2© would most likely get a fork and eat it up! It would only be a fraction of a mouthful, though, because as you'll notice in the photo, it is smaller than a dime.
