Do you have March 2nd marked on your calendar?
It's almost time to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss,
the beloved author of wonderful, wacky children's books.
I have made Green Eggs & Ham Cupcakes for his birthday,
because my children adore that book and have it memorized.
This year, I decided to make an edible version of one of my favorite Seuss characters...
The Lorax Cupcakes!
He speaks for the trees, you know.
What You Will Need:
A batch of cupcakes
Orange frosting
Yellow candy melts
Piping bag fitted with small round tip (Wilton #3)
Candy eyes
Orange Sixlets, M&M's or Skittles
To download my Lorax mustache template below, click on the image to open it.
Then right click on the image and select "Save Image As".
Print the template and tape it to the back of a cookie sheet.
Tape a piece of wax paper on top of the template.
Print the template and tape it to the back of a cookie sheet.
Tape a piece of wax paper on top of the template.
Next, melt the yellow candy melts according to package directions.
Fill a piping bag with the candy melts.
Trace over the eyebrow and mustache outlines, piping lines to look like hair.
When they have hardened, carefully peel them off the wax paper.
Put a dot of frosting on the back of your orange candy and make a nose.
Enjoy!
