Thing 1 & Thing 2 Cupcakes

When my friend’s daughter recently celebrated her 3^rd birthday, she had a Dr. Seuss themed party.  Specifically, she requested Thing 1 & Thing 2 Cupcakes with swirls!

Here’s what you’ll need to make these cupcakes:

1 recipe Sour Cream Chocolate cupcakes

1 recipe Vanilla Buttercream

Blue sugar sprinkles

Red Cupcake Liners (found at Michael’s)

1 batch of Royal Icing, tinted blue

Bake and frost the cupcakes.  To make the swirls, cut waxed paper into small squares.  Use thin royal icing to make a swirl shape on each piece of waxed paper.  Dry flat for at least 24 hours.  Just before serving, peel the swirls off the waxed paper and push gently into the cupcakes.
