How to Make Who-Cakes at Home

The Movie Horton Hears A Who came out not long ago and IHOP has a small line of Dr. Seuss food that comes is in fun colors and has kid appeal. I had planned to take my family there as a fun treat but I started thinking about our budget and what a crunch it would be if I took all five of us out to eat to IHOP. That is money that could be used for a different fun event or to pay a bill. So I put on my thinking cap and realized that the Who-Cakes are quite easy to make at home and cost quite a bit less then if we had went out and enjoyed them.

When I make food like this, I try to do it as quickly as I can because I have three very lively boys that often bicker amongst themselves and my youngest son is famous for getting into anything and everything in one second. I took a shortcut and used pancake mix instead of making it all by scratch.

To make your own Who-Cakes, you will need:

Pancake mix (or make them from scratch)

2 Gogurts per pancake (try for two different colors)

Sprinkles

1 Lollipop per creation

Make your batter

Poor it on the pan

Flip your pancake. This is where I realized that my pancakes were not going to look as good as IHOP's. But after they're decorated, you won't really be able to tell what they looked like.

You need to make different size pancakes. A large one for the bottom and make the rest of them a little smaller then the one they're sitting on top of. Do this with however many pancakes you want.

Start stacking your pancakes

Grab a Gogurt and get to work:

Grab another gogurt and a lollipop:

Put on the sprinkles:

I made a smaller version for my middle son because he doesn't eat that much:

The kids enjoyed them:

Even my youngest son enjoyed his little pile of who-cakes

Can I eat now Mom?

Digging in

Halfway done

This sucker is really good.

None of the kids ate it all, just like I knew they wouldn't. It wasn't because they didn't like it, they did. They wouldn't have eaten it all if we had gone out to eat either and this way, I didn't mind if they didn't eat all their food at home. I had regular ol' pancakes. These were more to the kids liking them mine,although I did have a taste of their Who-Cakes.

I took my middle son to see Horton Hears A Who when my oldest son was at my grandparents. It is a really cute movie.
