Minion Cupcakes

My 5 year old Daughter's pre school birthday cupcakes needed to be something memorable so after receiving a Photo of a minion cupcake from a friend, I just had to make some of my own!

You Need:
1 white cake batter recipe
1 butter cream frosting recipe
Twinkies (or cloud cakes)
Candy eyes (can be found at Wal Mart in the Celebrations section)
Black decorators gel
clear decorators gel



Directions:

You can really make any flavor cupcakes you want, but I chose to divide my white cake batter into 6 small bowls and add food coloring to dye each bowl of batter a different vibrant color. Rainbow cupcakes seemed more appropriate choice for 30 preschoolers. 
I then tinted my frosting blue then topped each cupcake with a minion decorated twinkie.
Decorating your twinkies are pretty self explanatory. I used a dab of clear decorators gel on the back of each candy eye to serve as the "glue" to hold them on. Then I simply "drew" them glasses and mouths with the black decorators gel.

These were a huge hit with the children and teachers!
