Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham Cupcakes

I love Dr. Seuss. I don't know where my love came from but I have had a little obsession with him lately. So being his Birthday today I have been finding a lot of fun things in honor of him. When I came across the cupcakes, I had to add them here so I can make them and keep them forever. The fact that its sugar and non the less, another cupcake, of coarse I had to keep it!
Found at Kara's Cupcakes
