Thing 1 Thing 2 Dr. Seuss Theme Babyshower Cupcakes

A friend of mine was helping her sister throw a baby shower last weekend and asked if I would make the cupcakes. It was a Dr. Seuss theme baby shower for a baby boy. She sent me some links of ideas for Dr. Seuss theme cupcakes. The choices were Lorax Trees or Thing 1 Thing 2 Cupcakes. hey decided on Thing 1 Thing 2, because they were very cute, and fit the rest of the decorations better. I made half chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow frosting and the other half vanilla with vanilla buttercream. I hunted down red cupcake liners, which was actually kind of hard. Most of the places had the fun themed liners and not just basic colors. I finally found the at Michaels. Then I printed out circles that said "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" that were attached to the front. FYI...tape doesn't stick, glue is needed. And for the crazy hair, I found tubs of blue cotton candy at the Dollar Tree! I bought 5 tubs because I didn't know how much was needed. I went through 1 1/2 tubs for about 30 cupcakes and left the 1/2 opened container and one full unopened container if touch ups were needed. I wanted to set the cupcakes up close to the start of the shower, but got the time wrong, so I was an hour earlier than I thought I wanted to be. The cotton candy melts, so don't add it right before you need to. Also, be careful when handling it, because just the contact with your hands can make it start to get hot and melt. But overall, I think the cotton candy hair was the perfect touch to these cupcakes.
