Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Reece wore pajamas to school on his birthday. (It's not because he takes after his mom and can't get out of bed in time to get dressed for school.)  The school was celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday.  Therefore, Reece's class wore pajamas for the day.   I took these Cat in the Hat cupcakes to Reece's class in the afternoon.  I even got to sing "Happy Birthday" to the class with the class.

Reeces 8th birthday cake

So, I failed as a mom. Reece asked for a knights 'castle cake'. My excuse is that I have been running ragged going to all their wrestling meets that I don't have any time to do anything else. And also, another excuse is that I had no ice cream cones to make the towers. For whatever the reason, I will make him one someday soon and surprise him with it.  His second choice was a leprechaun cake. I figured a leprechaun's hat was good enough.  This was a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. I used one of my most favorite chocolate cake recipes and it turned out so moist and delicious.  (It wasn't from a box, I swear!)
