We are big Disney fans over here so for my daughter's 4th birthday she asked for Minnie Mouse cupcakes. I am really not the decorator when it comes to cakes and desserts but I always give it a fair try. I checked Pinterest for ideas and found some that I felt I could pull off. I wanted to do something cute that I felt comfortable taking on and that wouldn't take too much preparation. This is what I came up with:
I used a store bought yellow cake mix and pink frosting. Bake according to package directions, cool completely and spread frosting. I made 2 separate batches.
Batch number 1: I used regular size Oreo cookies for the face, strawberries cut up to make Minnie's bow and mini size Oreo's for the ears.
Batch number 2: I only made ears and simply broke in half a full size Oreo cookie and pressed them into the icing. Added some pearl sprinkles and voila, Minnie Mouse cupcake!
The guests at the party said they looked and tasted great....phew! That was a relief! I always worry when it comes to making and creating food for others. Not sure why I just do!
Like I said I am not the best at decorating cakes/cupcakes but this was honestly a super simple, fun way to make Minnie Mouse cupcakes! If I can do it anyone can, trust me!
I've always enjoyed reading about birthday party ideas whether it be food, decorations, etc. Have you pulled off a really fun birthday party? If so, I would love to hear about it. You can share in our comments below or on our facebook page!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Alexis!! They were fun and easy to make!
ReplyDeleteFun. Our last little girl party was also visited by the Mouse duo - bows for Minnie, none for Mickey. Looks from the picture like you used strawberries for the bows? So did we!
ReplyDeleteAbi, yes I did use strawberries! It was easier than trying to use frosting, I'm a bad artist, lol!
DeleteThis are so cute, Susen! Thanks for sharing at the Teach Me Tuesday Linky Party:) Hope you can join us again tonight starting @ 9pm est!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! These turned out so cute, and I'll bet she loved them!! I love how easy kids are to please at this age. I made "cat head" shaped chocolate chip cookies for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and they really looked more like owls. lol She loved them though and thought they were the perfect addition to her Hello Kitty party. : )
ReplyDeleteAshlee, so true! They love almost anything at this age. I only picked these cause they were really super easy to make!
