Oh The Places You’ll Go Cake
The thing I love about this fun Dr Seuss cupcakes recipe is that you have the option of making both these oh the places you’ll go cupcakes or you could make one huge Dr Seuss Cake. You might even want to make both.
Ingredients For Oh The Places You’ll Go Cupcakes
Here are the ingredients for this super fun Dr Seuss themed food.
- 1 box of Cake Mix, baked to package directions in mini cupcake form
- 1—16 oz. Container Whipped Topping
- Sprinkles
- Food Coloring—Pink, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Orange, and Green
- Mini Cupcake Liners
- Piping Bags
Food Coloring Liqua-Gel – 12 Color Variety Kit in .75 fl. oz. (20ml) Bottles
Pillsbury, Funfetti Cake Mix with Candy Bits, 15.25oz Box (Pack of 4)
How To Make These Cute Dr Seuss Cupcakes
Begin by mixing and baking the mini cupcakes as per the instructions on the box.
You can use a funfetti package or any other cupcake packet in the store.
There are plenty to choose from in Asda or Tescos for around one pound. You can also get one online or from Walmart in the US.
After the mini cupcakes are completely cooled, cut out a small hole in the middle of each one.
Fill each hole of your Dr Seuss cupcakes with sprinkles.
Next divide the whipped topping into 6 separate bowls, and mix in each food colouring colour.
Spoon the icing into the 6 piping bags.
Starting with your bottom colour, fill the top of the cupcake in a thin, circular pattern.
Using next colour, pipe a little bit smaller circle on top of the bottom colour leaving the edges of the first colour showing.
Whether you are making a Dr Seuss Cake or cupcakes the icing method is the same.
Continue on with all your colours. You should have a tall, cone shape pattern on the top of your cupcake.
I hope you love these Dr Seuss Cupcake Ideas. Let me know if you try this out. I’d love to see your results.

OMG Cupcakes are my weakness… or at least I love eating the tops of them, I like a little cake with my icing, lol. These look amazing!
These are so adorable!
Oh how cute. What a great surprise when you get to the center. This is one of my favorite books of all time!
That’s a lot of icing – which is great because I tend to think the whipped icing is the best part of any cupcake! It’s really cute that these are stuffed with sprinkles, too! I know my girls would get a HUGE kick out of these!
Thanks Brandi
I love this. These may be my favorite cupcakes ever!!!
Thats a great compliment thanks
Dr. Seuss day is so much fun ~ colorful too! The day is definitely celebrated at the local elementary schools seen as he spent so much time here. There is even a museum dedicated to him. These look great and have the ability to be versatile ~ can we say Spring and Easter?! Fill them with sprinkles or other sweets and can keep the colors the same 😀
I agree they could be great for any season like spring or easter!
These cupcakes look amazing. I am definitely going to have to try them out.
Omg these look insanely amazing!!!! We love dr Seuss here at home I saved this to do wth the kids!
these are the cutest!! I like be reading Dr. Seuss to my kids when they were younger
What is whipped topping? I haven’t seen this before. I’d like them with buttercream icing.
Those cupcakes look extremely good. I bet the icing tastes yummy. ? Great snack for kids. Love the images. And they are very colorful.makes the blog pop.
Do you have any tips on how to do a different type of frosting?
There are lots of different types. I do like to use the ready made ones and add colour to them or you can make it from a scratch.
Sooo cute!! Do you know if these will travel well? Was thinking of making these for my kids class! I’m guessing they’ll have to stay refrigerated?
I think they may need to be refrigerated so maybe speak to the teacher beforehand. Speaking from experience as a teacher myself.
So I tried making these but how do you keep the cool whip frosting stiff? They were too liquidy to pile up the colors and then it melted so quickly. Any tips? Thanks!
Make sure you using Cool Whip and not real whip cream. The longer the cool whip sits out the wetter it’ll get so be quick piping it on and then stick them back into the refrigerator. It’s best to make them and eat them the same day but these were kept in the fridge and they were fine the next day. A another big tip is make sure the cupcakes are COMPLETELY cooled before piping!
