Dr. Seuss Gender Reveal Cake and Cupcakes

Well this post was supposed to happen about a month ago.  As they say in MN, Uffda!  It's been a month. We are more than ready for spring.  It has to happen sometime soon, right?!

This gender reveal cake and cupcakes were Dr. Seuss themed for a book loving family expecting baby #2.  Mom was very involved in the design of the cake and cupcakes, which made my job easy peasy!  Here's what we came up with...

 "Thing 2" cake with red fondant stripes as a nod to The Cat's hat.  "Will THING 2 be Pink or Blue?" 

 Mom wanted their daughter to feel special on this day dedicated to her soon to be sibling so we made only one of the cupcakes with the "THING 1" round on it just for her.  How sweet! :)

 

 

 The rest of the cupcakes had a "THING 2" and red "?" fondant rounds on top of them.

 

 

I don't have a very good poker face, but despite having a conversation with the Mom when she picked up the cake about what her inkling of the gender was, I still managed to keep secret that the inside was BLUE! :)
