Directions to Make the Horton Hears a Who Cupcakes
Place frosting in a small bowl and add 2-3 drops of black food coloring. Mix well. Add more coloring if you would like it darker.
Place frosting in a piping bag or large baggie. Snipe off the corner.
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 trunk. Repeat this step with the remaining cupcakes.
Set the elephant cupcakes aside.
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. Stick it at the end of his “trunk” so it looks like Horton is holding the Truffula tree. Repeat this step.

Useful Tips & Tricks for a Dr Seuss Themed Party
Planning a themed birthday party may seem overwhelming and confusing, but it is actually not, and if you’re planning a Dr Seuss themed party, I’ve got some cool tips and tricks to make things easier for you!
- Use printables whenever possible. From invites to paper decorations, if you’re not sure you’ll find the themed decor at your local party supplies store, this should help.
- Stick to 2-3 colors when it comes to choosing everything from party favors to the birthday cake, instead of going overboard and trying to incorporate everything in the same event.
- Keep the food menu simple with bite sized snacks, and of course, the ones that little toddlers can handle.
- Look up some simple games (that have the least amount of mess involved). Puzzles and printables work great too!
