Today is the birthday of Dr. Seuss. He published 44 children's books including the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat. In his honor, I created some fun "Green Eggs and Ham" cupcake toppers and "Cat in the Hat" marshmallow pops that are simple to make and perfect for themed parties!
Green Eggs and Ham Cupcake Toppers
You can use these as cupcake toppers or simply serve them on a little plate.
You will need
- Green Apple "laffy taffy"
- White chocolate chips, melted
- Green M&M's
- Edible black marker
Directions
Assemble Ham
- Microwave green taffy candy for just a few seconds until pliable and mold into a curved cone shape. (You can use taffy, Airheads, or any green candy that is moldable.)
- Dab a dot of melted white chocolate (or tiny piece of marshmallow) for the white dot in the center of the ham.
- Draw on cartoon details with edible black marker (or black food coloring and a fine tip paintbrush/toothpick).
Assemble Eggs
- Melt some white chocolate according to instructions on package and spoon "egg shaped blobs" onto a piece of wax paper.
- Place a green M&M in the center while chocolate is still wet.
- Once dry, draw on cartoon details with edible black marker (or black food coloring and a fine tip paintbrush/toothpick).
Cat in the Hat Pops
For each pop you will need
- 1 lollipop stick
- 3 marshmallows
- Red sugar sprinkles
- Water
Directions
Flatten 1 marshmallow for the brim of the hat by smushing it in between wax paper with your hands or a rolling pin. Use powdered sugar if it gets too sticky.
Take the other 2 marshmallows and dip the bottom half into a bowl of water and then roll in red sugar sprinkles. Shake off excess water before rolling in sprinkles if needed.
Assemble one marshmallow on top of the other (red part on bottom) and place on top of flattened marshmallow. Push lollipop stick through all three marshmallows.
"We looked! Then we saw him step in on the mat! We looked! And we saw him! The Cat in the Hat!"
Give them a try, and be sure to share a picture on our Facebook page, or email a photo to MyCreation@dollhousebakeshoppe.com to be featured in the Fan Photo album!
Happy Baking,
