I am going to be providing cake for the community to eat at our local library for a Dr. Seuss birthday party this Saturday.  If you live in Valdosta, please stop by for stories, games, bounce houses, and of course, cake!  The celebration is at the Valdosta-Lowndes County Library on March 7th from 1-3pm.

Now on to the good news, they are also hosting a dessert contest.  Not exactly a cake contest, however it is the first contest I will have entered.  I am quiet beside myself with excitement.  The only rule is to “create a dessert item that is Seuss-like”, how hard can that be?  My theme is Dr. Seuss’ book Horton Hears a Who! for all 3 cakes.  Yes that is right, 3.  Two sheet cakes for the community and 1 contest cake.  I am planning a two layer wonky cake.  This will be my first wonky attempt so we’ll see how it goes.  I though I should post my progress, as I have been working on this all week.  I hope to see you at the contest, and hope you enjoy my cake.  I will post the results Sunday!

The List— WOW—

Have you ever bought $30 worth of butter?  At one time?  Now I have.  I seriously need to find a supplier!

This is 18 egg whites and 3 cups of sugar in my double boiler (home made of course)!

The meringue almost spilled over the side of my 6 Quart bowl!

Four quarts of Seuss blue.

The mountains Vlad flew over.

The one and only Black-bottomed eagle, Vlad Vlad-i-koff.

Lastly but not least, the honorable Horton, whom we all can take a valuable lesson from……

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”
