Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Every year we celebrate Read Across America Week and Dr. Seuss week at school, the library, and many of our local community events. This year we decided to make festive cupcakes inspired by The Lorax, our favorite Dr. Seuss movie (based on the awesome book).

These colorful cotton candy topped cupcakes are easy to assemble and perfect for celebrating Dr Seuss week or a themed birthday party.

Stella and I love Dr Seuss books and movies! We had a great time at the library celebrating Dr Seuss’ birthday!

A few of our favorite Dr. Seuss books. Which is your favorite to read?

The Lorax Truffula Tree Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 1 dozen baked cupcakes I used orange
  • 1 jar of colored frosting I used pink
  • 1 bag of cotton candy I used multicolored mini packs
  • 6 paper straws

Instructions

  • Cool cupcakes completely then frost. You can use green frosting for "grass" or any fun bright colored frosting for The Lorax theme.
  • Cut your paper straws in half.
  • Break off sections of cotton candy and press lightly into a ball shape.
  • Mold cotton candy on top of the top part of each straw as the "trees".
  • Insert each tree into the center of each cupcake.
  • Serve and enjoy your colorful treats in honor of Dr. Seuss!

I made these bright and delicious orange cupcakes from Trader Joes for this recipe. 

You can bake your own cupcakes or use store bought. This dessert is super easy to assemble!

Colorful, fun, and silly- just like the books by Dr. Seuss!
