January 29, 2020 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media 1 Comment

Celebrate America’s favorite author on March 2nd with these easy Dr. Seuss Cupcakes. This Horton Hears a Who craft has an elephant trunk holding a pink clover to represent the speck of Whoville, a microscopic community only Horton can hear. “A person’s a person, no matter how small!” 

Horton Hears a Who Craft with Food

Ready to celebrate the wonderful work of Dr. Seuss? We have fun and easy Dr. Seuss Cupcakes using the novel Horton Hears a Who! This food craft is perfect for little hands and such a yummy snack.

Three things to know before beginning this Dr. Seuss Cupcake Craft.

Who is Horton Hears a Who!?

Horton Hears A Who! is a popular children’s book written and illustrated by Theodor Seuss Geisel under the name Dr. Seuss. Published in 1954, the main character is an elephant named Horton. Horton is the only one who can hear Whoville,  a microscopic community on a speck of dust. Promoting the lesson of equality, Horton vows to protect the speck from this neighbors, declaring this Horton Hears a Who quote

“A person’s a person, no matter how small!“

Where is Whoville?

Recognize that name of Whoville? Whoville is a fictional microscopic town created by Dr. Seuss. Found on a pink clover or dust speck, Whoville appeared in the books Horton Hears a Who! and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Horton Hears a Who Clover

In the Horton Hears a Who! movie, Horton finds a speck on a pink clover. These tiny pink clovers hold the community of Whoville that Horton is trying to save. Similar to the clovers from Horton Hears a Who are the Lorax Truffula Trees. Truffula trees apparently give off the smell of butterfly milk. This is another place you see overlap in the Dr. Seuss books.

When is Dr. Seuss Day?

Dr. Seuss Day began in the 1990s by the National Education Association. Dr. Seuss Day is recognized annually on March 2nd to celebrate the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel – otherwise known as Dr. Seuss.

Now on to yummy cupcakes!

Dr. Seuss Cupcakes Ingredients

This Dr Seuss recipe yields 6 cupcakes, but it is very easy to multiply as needed. We bought prepared cupcakes from the grocery store, but you could also prepare cupcakes using a cake box mix.

  • 6 Prepared Cupcakes
  • 1 Container White Frosting
  • 6 DUM DUMS Lollipops (pink is best; Bubblegum or Watermelon flavors)
  • Edible Pink Glitter (we used CK Cake Decorating Sanding Sugar)
  • Black Food Coloring (we used AmeriColor Food Coloring)




Save this Dr. Seuss Cupcake recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Description

Celebrate America’s favorite author on March 2nd with these easy Dr. Seuss Cupcakes. This Horton Hears a Who craft has an elephant trunk holding a pink clover to represent the speck of Whoville, a microscopic community only Horton can hear. “A person’s a person, no matter how small!” 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Prepared Cupcakes
  • 1 Container White Frosting
  • 6 DUM DUMS Lollipops (use the DUM DUM flavors that are pink)
  • Edible Pink Glitter (we used CK Cake Decorating Sanding Sugar)
  • Black Food Coloring (we used AmeriColor Food Coloring)

Instructions

  1. Place your white frosting in a small bowl and add 2-3 drops of black food coloring. Mix well. Add more coloring if you would like it a darker gray.
  2. Put your colored frosting in a piping bag or large baggie. Snipe off the corner.
  3. Using your prepared cupcakes, pipe frosting in a circular motion around the cupcake.
  4. Starting at the back of the cupcake, take the frosting and make a vertical line down the center. This line represents Horton’s elephant trunk nose. Repeat step with remaining cupcakes.
  5. Set your frosted cupcakes aside.
  6. To make a truffula tree, take an unwrap sucker and dip it in some water. Shake excess water off and lay on a plate. Sprinkle on the edible glitter, make sure to rotate sucker as you go.

Dr. Seuss Cupcakes Directions

These directions are so simple because you are using prepared cupcakes. You can buy prepared cupcakes at your local grocery store or make your own using cake mix. If you make your own, allow them to cool before beginning your Dr. Seuss Horton Cupcake Directions.

First, place your white frosting in a small bowl and add 2-3 drops of black food coloring. Mix well. Add more coloring if you would like it a darker gray.

Second, place frosting in a piping bag or large baggie. Snipe off the corner.

Using your prepared cupcakes, pipe frosting in a circular motion around the cupcake.

Now, starting at the back of the cupcake, take the frosting and make a vertical line down the center. This line represents Horton’s elephant trunk nose. Repeat step with remaining cupcakes.

Set your frosted cupcakes aside.

Next, how to make a truffula tree! Take an unwrap sucker and dip it in some water. Shake excess water off and lay on a plate. Sprinkle on the edible glitter, make sure to rotate sucker as you go.

Finally, stick it in the end of his “trunk” so it looks like Horton is holding the pink clover tree. Repeat step until all your Horton Hears a Who clover trees are complete.

Serve and enjoy!
