To celebrate Dr. Seuss' 109th Birthday (on March 2nd) Pizzazzerie's blogger-baker Courtney Whitmore has shared an ADORABLE recipe for Truffula Tree Cupcakes. A memorable recipe that’s fun and easy! These tasty treats are just as cute and colorful as the trees made famous by his iconic 1971 children’s book, “The Lorax.”

INGREDIENTS:
1 box Betty Crocker White Cake mix
1 stick butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
10 drops green food coloring
1 package pretzel stick rods

STEP 2: Beat butter for 1 minute and add powdered sugar in 1 cup intervals, beating thoroughly between each addition, until creamy. Add in vanilla and cream. Beat well for 2 minutes. Add in green food coloring until frosting is grass green.
STEP 3: Use a fluted pastry tip to pipe grass on top of cooled mini cupcakes.
STEP 4: Wrap Fruit Roll-Ups pieces around pretzel sticks. Place tufts of cotton candy on top of pretzel sticks using a bit of extra frosting to help stick the two together.
