Muffin Tin Monday: Cat Hat Cakes

OK, I did not go with the yellow theme this week,
(though I hope to try doing this later)
but we really enjoyed what we did for MTM.
Hope y'all do too...

Since we have been "Seussifying" our lessons
in honor of the Doc's birthday,
Muffin Tin Monday
HAD to be part of our learning experiences...

So, after having "Grown Up" Green Eggs and Ham
for supper one evening,
the kiddos go to create a fun dessert,
MTM style!

After reading
"The Cat in the Hat"
and
"The Cat in the Hat Comes Back,"
I showed the kiddos how to create their own
"Cat Hat Cakes"...

Each of the tins contained read and white
cupcakes halves...

(Made them from THIS recipe.)

...and read and white icing.

(Made from THIS recipe.)

Using the cupcake top halves in their tins,
the kiddos set them on their plates...
and spread some icing on top.

Put a cupcake bottom on top of this layer,
and spread it with icing.

Add a couple more layers,
and you have a hat
befitting for any cat!

Now it's time to chow down...

Just be careful-
It's rather topsy-turvy!

Hat or no hat,
head on over to Muffin Tin Monday
and check out what others have been eating out of their tins!
