Minion Cupcakes

Ingredients

  • Twinkies halved
  • smarties for eyes enough white ones (you can buy altoids)
  • black icing tube for details
  • chocolate jimmies (sprinkles)
  • blue (or whatever color you want) frosting or icing

Directions

  1. Bake and frost your cupcakes as usual. Cut Twinkies in half and lay on the flat side on a plate. It will be easier to decorate this way. Squeeze two circles of icing/frosting on the Twinkies in the place where you will put the Smarties glasses.
  2. Press the Smarties into the icing/frosting and some of it will smoosh out and make it look like the glasses are rimmed. Make two dots for the eyes in the glasses.
  3. Draw lines for the sides of the glasses. Draw a mouth and stick chocolate jimmies into the top of the Twinkies for hair. Gently press the Twinkie into the frosted cupcake. And done!

Tip

Once the flour is added, mix only until combined and place the batter in the oven promptly.
