It’s Cake Pop time again. And I made some cute ones for Dr Seuss’ The Lorax movie that comes out March 2.
These were fun to recreate in bright colors and cake.
Here’s a run down so you can go make.
Okay, I can’t rhyme – Let’s just get this ball rolling.
It’s time.
First up are Bar-ba-loots. They’re super cute and they love to eat Truffula fruit.
Okay, that’s enough. I’ll try not to torture you any more.
I like to roll my cake balls by hand first so I can make sure I have enough and if I need to, I can make some of them bigger or smaller at the end to keep them all about the same size.
(At the end of the post, I’ll share a pdf you can download for all of these cake pops.)
Once they’re rolled, you can reshape them however you like.
For Bar-ba-loots, roll them into an oval and pinch in on the four rounded corners.
Pinch more at the top than at the bottom and then press down on the top center to make a spot for the eyes. This will also help form those chubby cheeks. You can also use a spoon to make an indention for the mouth if you like.
For the big floppy ears, I used chocolate candy coating wafers.
Just cut a small edge off with a rounded cutter and dip the wafer into melted candy coating.
Attach it to the cake ball and let dry.
But did you notice their big rounded ears?
That’s right. One more step. No fears.
Just dip a toothpick in coating and draw a line of chocolate around the edge.
Then chill the balls. You know the drill.
And dip them and coat them in chocolate for thrills. Someone stop me.
Decorate with confetti sprinkles and mini M&M’s and a black edible ink pen.
Then these guys are ready to play in the shade.
Right underneath the Truffula Trees.
Okay, these are easy easy. Roll more cake balls like above.
Dip them, then texturize with a toothpick and love.
Dip them in orange, yellow and pink coating.
I also added a small amount of chocolate candy coating for the yellow and orange to cut the brightness down a little.
It’s like Dr. Seuss new these would be perfect for pops.
Sprinkle a little sanding sugar on the pops before the coating sets.
Use the really long paper lollipop sticks and then you can cut them down in varying lengths.
A black edible ink pen or a touch of black candy color on a dry brush adds the perfect detail for these paper tree trunks.
But what about the Lorax?
He speaks for the trees you know.
He’s easy to make.
Just dip, dry, then decorate.
You’ll need yellow candy coating, a black edible ink pen, white confetti sprinkles and lots of toothpicks.
A helpful way to get started is to etch where you want to apply the coating for the brows and mustache using a toothpick.
Then stay in the lines. Or just over them so you don’t see the etchings.
Apply the coating with the tip of your toothpick. As it starts to dry, layer on more and more coating. His mustache is really big. As the coating thickens just before setting, drag out the tips for nice pointed ends.
Replace your toothpick when it gets gloppy.
Or else your cake pops will get kinda sloppy.
Use the same technique for his bushy brows.
Break edges off confetti sprinkles, attach with coating and dot the eyes with your edible ink pen.
Dot on orange coating for a little round nose.
Cute as cute as a Lorax can be.
But wait. Just the head?
Where’s his body?
Let’s see.
Roll the cake ball into an oval and then into kind of a jelly bean shape.
Take two jumbo heart sprinkles and two broken pretzel pieces – dip the ends in coating and insert them into the pop in position for arms and legs.
Insert the legs just toward the front so you leave room to also insert a lollipop stick.
Let the attachments dry before you dip.
These will look like arms in a minute – resting on his hip.
P.S. – I’m a dork, not a poet.
Once dry, decorate faces the same as above. Just on a smaller scale.
Then use a toothpick dipped in coating to draw on his skinny arms. (I should have made one wave.)
There.
Sassier.
Much better.
Here’s a pdf of the Lorax cake pops so you can make your own.
They’d be a cute snack at the theaters if you go to see the movie.
Or during Dr. Seuss story time.
Hmmm. Green eggs and ham cake pops. Those would be fun, too.
Disclosure: I was compensated to make these Lorax Cake Pops, but I might have made them anyway because they’re just too cute. Shhh… don’t tell.
I have made these cakepops and im going to post it on my website in an article, named: Bakerella VS me, haha!
I’ll post the link here if it’s online but that’s gonna be tomorrow. And btw it’s in dutch..
I love you’re website and you ofcourse <3 !
These look too good to eat! They are solo cute… They look a little hard to make are they? Also I can’t wait to see your Easter cake pops this year! I’m hoping you use coconut!
i need help!!..when i melt my candy dips they never seem to go runny enough..i’ve tried adding shortening but still doesn’t work..any tips?…..i desperately want to make these for my sons birthday…..
You go ahead and rhyme . . . anytime!
You are amazing. I made cakepops once, and they were delicious but a pain cause I was having trouble making them stay on the stick.
These look too cute to eat…ok maybe not.
Hugs,
Di
These are so cute, like everything you do.
You are so talented!!!
These look amazing, as usual. I don’t have any patience, but these look very easy to make. I wish I had your patience.
that looks exactly like the lorax!
Bravo, bravo, Angie! Your creativity amazes me.
The Lorax ones are just perfect! Too cute for words
i think this is adorable u inspire me a lot im barely a 12 year old girl and and im starting to get better and better as i follow steps and get recipes :)
I just found your website today, and I feel like I found a treasure. Every picture and project is more beautiful and inspiring than the next. Thank you for sharing your gift as an artist. I cant wait to start making some of your creations!
cool I love them I want to eat them Now!
These are adorable! You are a creative genius! I’ve never tried cake pops, and probably shouldn’t. (Sometimes my efforts don’t produce the results I hope for.) These are tempting enough to try making, but I can only imagine the amount of work involved and the potential disaster/disappointment I could end up with. For now I will just admire and dream… maybe some day! Thank you for sharing these!
How do you goop on the mustache so perfectly?! I have been struggling to try to get the “hair” effect. No luck. You are ahhh-mazing.
You seriously blow my mind a little more with every new post. These are ADORABLE! I kid you not, I have been reading The Lorax to my kids no less than twice a day for the last month…and even I am not sick of all it’s greatness. The full body cake pops just destroy me. You rock!!
awesome
they look very yummy and delicious
You have an amazing, creative mind!!
i love these can you mail me some!hahahahh but where are these in milwakee or what!anybody know that where bakerella!
I love them!!!! Love the Lorax! The book is phenomenal, but the movie didn’t quite live up to that.
Toooo cute! Terrific! Spot on!
Oh my goodness. These are totally cute. I totally love every aspect of them!! Only critique would be, they take forever!
Beyond amazing!!! Just love everything you do but these ones are phenomenal. <3 your tutorials! Thanks for sharing your adorable creations! <3
Made these tonight, the truffula trees. My kids and I are going to the movie with their school tomorrow, so these will be in the classroom after they get back. :) They weren’t really difficult, but the ‘swirl’ is a bit hard, mine are definitely not as perfect as yours! Only issue I had is that some of them are cracking already. :(
How did you get the swirl on the tree cake pops?
‘Was a joke, I love them :D Sooo cute !
J’aime la France.
GuizmO tu peux pas test’ ! :D
My daughter is soooooooooooo gonna wanna make these!!!!
my daughter loved these know were going to do a lorax themed party!!!!!!!
Those are absolutely fantatic!
Soooo cute. These are wonderful.
These look cute but hard! how do you do this? and also where do you buy fondant?
Wow…these are PERFECT! Love them!
At my bridal shower last weekend, someone gave me your Cake Pops book and I was soooo thrilled to finally have the book of the blog I’ve been following. You are absolutely amazing. If only I had the patience to make my cake balls/pops look cute before I ate them all…
So amazing! I’m always inspired when I visit you blog!
Btw, I’m hosting my first blog giveaway today so check it out :)

I’m so glad I found you. My son’s birthday is March 2. We’re going to the movie and these will be great to make for the party.
Adorable…simply adorable! You always amaze me!
You are amazing!!!! I absolutely adore these!!!
+ they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I love the lorax and these are perfect.
I love these so so cool!
Hi,
Love your work, but how can I email or Facebook my Daughter the Dr. Seuss ideas such as the cake pops for the Lorax?
You amaze me! What a cute idea! :)
Gah. I just love you and everything you do. These are adorable. Perfect. So much inspiration!
WOW!! These are too cute but i dont think i could come any close and i wouldnt have patients. Abvously you do
Oh my gosh! You never cease to amaze me with your creativity! I am so glad to hear that you were compensated for this. :)
You are a genius! These are true works of art.
I am thrilled you were compensated. I feel like everywhere I go, people are ripping off your ideas and passing them off as their own. You should be compensated. You are amazing!
These are all so cute and sweet ..almost, but not too cute to eat! Sorry, i couldn’t resist tossing in my own rhyme ;o)
bakerella i made your round cake pops yesterday for the first time ever. They were very sweet in taste but when i left them in the frezzer for a day they tased much better LOL
Those are so cute! I bet they taste great!
Insanely adorable!
Absolutely adorable! Thank you for the tutorial!
Absolutely adorable. (And of course you had to rhyme… how could you not?) I linked back to you in my blog for Lorax birthday party ideas!
Will you make me about 10 and just mail them to me?? This would be perfect for a team ice breaker I’m planning which will be held in a few weeks. Can you email me with your price to make & ship? Thanks! jill
These bring back so many memories of reading The Lorax to my son. He loved how they chopped down the Truffula trees with one smacka! Oh those trees! It’s just a great way to teach the young one (and some oldies, too) about the pollution and how it comes to be created and then how it can be solved. I’m sure your cakes will be a great hit too.
Love them! I love to bake and these are just so creative and adorable! What kind of coating do you use for the pops? Is it fondant? Thank you and keep it up!!!
Just when I think I’ve seen it all, you come up with even more. These are so cute! You did a fantastic job on them.
These are too stinking cute!!! I LOVE them!!!!
I found you on the google reader but had to come to your site to say I am truly impressed. I can’t wait to show my daughter. She’ll want to try it right away. :)
what the WHAT??!?!?! Wait….WHAT????
You are cray cray. I don’t know how you do it.
Oh dear! they are so adorable! Children will surely fall in love with them.
Love ’em!!!!! So cute.
Oh my gosh! They all look sooo cute! I love these! :D
Oh my gosh, that full body version is too cute to eat!
So freaking cute! I love them! The movie has inspired me so much! Gonna see it with my kids!
WOW, WOW, WOW, you are A M A Z I N G!!! Good bless you, forever and ever.
Okay – if I wasn’t excited to see The Lorax movie, these would have done it! Well done and thanks!!
Wow! This is so creative. Do you have any ideas for Disney Classics? i.e. Little Mermaid?
Hi Bakerella!
I was standing at the bus stop today and saw the Lorax ad drive by. I was just thinking about making Lorax cupcakes and/or a cake for Earthday…and then here you go making them into cake pops! Thanks once again for the inspiration and great instructions!
Those look amazing! I would never be able to make something like that!
This is a bit off subject but do you know about tempering chocolate? I have a question about it. Once you are finished tempering it and are keeping it at 88 degrees F. Do you have to keep it at that temperature forever?
Please reply!
Thanks!
Those are SO amazing!!
WOW!! So cute, gotta have my mom help me make these!
I can’t wait for the movie, my girls want to see it so bad. I love the pops!
AMAZING, so cute! Love the full Lorax, you’re just so creative!
what am i doing wrong when i make my cake pops and before icing…they r crackin or not stayin on stick when dippin…then when chocolate is dryin its cracks…thanks patty
You have so much talent, I’m so jealous! :)
Nice blog.. I like ur pictures because of the blurry background.
You are SOOOO talented!
so adorable! my favorite are the full body loraxes! :D
OMG! These are soo cute! Especially how you made the lorax’s body.
The Truffula Trees…so cute!!! I’m going to have to make those this summer!!!
Now how do you make Taylor Swift cake pops!?!?
You are so creative!
Those are super duper adorable. I love the trees best, but that is mostly because they are sparkly!
Oh My Goodness! These are the cutest things ever! Your creativity is out of this world.
I am overwhelmed by your creativity. These are absolutely adorable!
Amazing!
These are too cute! I think another round of Dr. Suess pops would be a great idea, especially if they are green eggs and ham!
As I was scrolling through your post, I was thinking, “Wow. She did it again. SO COOL!”
…then I kept scrolling *ooh*…and scrolling *ahh*…then I think I died of cuteness overload when I saw the full bodied Lorax. Amazing!! Thanks for sharing your creativity!
And for the record: You are a great poet. haha
Love these! Precious as always!
Soooooo super cute!
AMAZING!!
ADORBS!! Could only imagine sitting in the theater with these bright + cheery pops. Angie, these are so darling and I agree with Lori above ~ you are a pro at this cake pop thing!
btw: whenever I see that movie trailer I get goosebumps ~ it is breathtaking!! ~xo~
YOU ARE AMAZING!
Wow. Just wow. You totally nailed it! LOVE the lorax! He is so cute!
Hey Bakerella oh how you rule!
Reading your blog is just way too cool.
With Loraxes, Bar-ba-loots, and Truffle Trees too,
Thank thank you for bringing something new.
My world’s a much happier place,
because of you, you wonderful Ace!
ps (I hope no one ever “stops you!” :)
These made me smile. :-). You are too awesome!!
There might be a lot of cake pop imitators, but no one can ever be as creative and execute as well as Bakerella! You are amazing.
Outstanding!!! Love them!
How beautiful!!! And your dorkiness becomes you… very cute instructions/poetry. I actually recorded the soundtrack to this several weeks ago. It looked adorable! I’m excited to see it in theaters.
Super cute! They’d be great for a kid’s party.
Oh my gosh! Those are soo… stinkin cute I can hardly stand it! You are truly gifted and amazing!
Oh my goodness! How cute are these? I love the full bodied Lorax with his arms on his hips.
Aw! The Lorax or the Truffula Trees are my favorite!
You never cease to amaze me, Bakerella! We’re celebrating Dr Seuss week at work (school) soon and these cake pops would be waaay better than green eggs & ham (disgusting really). We’ll be taking our son to see the sensory-friendly screening of The Lorax on March 10th, so I will probably be making these for him :)
You are so amazing! I just love how creative you are and how PERFECT your creations look! This new group is just WOW!!!
Those are awesome! I wouldn’t let anyone eat them after spending so much time on them. ;)
I don’t know how you do it. Not only is your talent incredible, but also your willingness to teach us how to make these, and that is a gift!
Fantastic! :D And ham and egg pops would be awesome! My elementary school used to do a Dr. Seuss day, where people would bring their kids at night and everyone would hear Dr. Seuss stories. Then the cafeteria would serve up green ham and green eggs. As you can probably imagine, cake pops would be more appetising.
Angie, do you KNOW how hard it is to capture character’s faces? Incredibly. You are and have always been brilliant!
These are adorable! I like the Lorax pops with the full body (:
So stinky cute;))) love those!!!! Bakerella you Rock!!!
You are so talented and patient!
Oh my!!! These are the cutest pops ever, but I do say that a lot, because there are so many “cutest pops ever”. Soooooooooo sweet! ***LOVE***
I’m so completely in love with these. You are a decorating genius!
Amazing – I love them!!
Adorable … and the instructions with pictures you gave are so so so helpful … Thank You !!! I just bought your book and I am going to be making my first cake pops soon … our 3 1/2 year old son has fallen in love with cake pops (can you really blame him) … so he has requested I make some for his 4th birthday party … which is to be a Disney Car’s Theme this year … I would be forever grateful if you have any tips or ideas on how to shape Lightening McQueen and Tow Mater as cake pops … and how to decorate them as well. You definitely are a total rock star in the cake pop department!!!!
You are such an artist! What a talent!
These are adorable. I can’t wait to see the movie.
Why are you so awesome!?!
I DIE! TOO CUTE!!
TOO CUTE! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me – I wish I had some of it! These are really amazing, and I LOVE Dr. Seuss – fantastic!!
Unbelievably amazing! I did a school project on The Lorax a few weeks ago and since then I’ve been obsessed with the movie! These cake pops just sent me over the edge! Amazing!!
You are so amazing – seriously, a true artist and you should know that we all appreciate you, your brain and your imagination. (and hard work) you surprise me everyday with what you come up with. Bravo!

I bow to you, great Bakerella – I think I’ll make these for my fella! :)
These are fantastic. Your work amazes me!
TOO FREAKIN CUTE!!!! If I could get mine to look anything near that I would so try these! Adorable. You are so my cake pop hero!!
As always, you are amazing! They are adorable!
Wow! These look fantastic!
So adorable! You are too creative!
How do you get the coating so clean and the balls so round? I have SUCH trouble with that part!! My cake pops are always delicious but they’re usually funky looking.
You are soooooooo talented!! Very, very cute! :o)
You are simply magnificent, never cease to amaze us!!!!
My brothers love Dr Seuss, as do I! You are so clever!
Cute! How did you do the “swirly” on the trees?
OH — I am IN LOVE with those Truffula Trees!!! IN LOVE, I tell you. I’m just going to make them and put them in a vase so I can look at them every day. SO CUTE!!
Dude, you’re killing me with cuteness. I can’t even stand how great these are!
To call these cute, would be an understatement!
Too cute
Oh my… the Lorax with the body is just too cute!!

Love love love these! They make me smile. :D
Incredible that you can see something then SEE it in the form of a cake ball. Amazed at how you put it all together!
im so hooked!!!
Amazing, as usual! And I’m glad you got compensated — you deserve it!!!
Omigosh these are soooo adorable! I wish I had half of your cake pop making & decorating skills!
you are amazing!!
WOW! Just came back from the world premiere at Universal! There were cake pops at the party dessert table but not as cute as yours. Wish they would of gotten you to make theirs!!
Those are awesome! You are so talented.
While the Lorax pops are adorable, I think the truffula tree pops are my favorite. So sparkly and awesome.
Love them! You are a rockstar!!
Very cute and they don’t look too hard to make, either. Sweet!
wow, I love it!!
Too darn CUTE! Love them :)
You are AMAAAZZIINNNG!!!
