Minnion Cupcakes

I absolutely adore children's movies. But not just any of them. They have to have a funny little animal or character or in this case a minnion.  I remember thinking the first movie was cute when it came out. I have yet to see the second movie but love the minnion craze that is happening at the moment. The little guys crack me up.

So in looking for a unique easy cake idea for my sisters birthday I knew I had to try these out. I saw something similar on Pinterest but had to adapt it for family cake preferences and the tools I had to use. They turned out pretty well. This would be a great cake for the kids to help you make. My younger sister got a kick out of helping make them.

Needed Ingredients/Tools:

• Cake Mix-I used a yellow box cake mix
• Frosting-Chocolate Fudge is what I used here
• Smarties
• Chocolate sprinkles
• Small Ziplock
• Twinkies 

Directions:

• Bake the cupcakes

• Frost the Cupcakes

• Cut Twinkies in half

• Put a tablespoon or two in a plastic bag in the corner and snip the corner off.

• Use a dot of frosting to stick two smarties on a half of a Twinkie. 

• Use the frosting again to outline the smarties and make the goggles/glasses and again for a mouth. 
• Add eyeballs with the frosting as well.

• Place the prepared half Twinkie in the center of a cupcake

• Place sprinkles on top of the Twinkie for hair.
• 
  
• Continue to decorate remaining cupcakes until finished. 

You are DONE!
