Ingredients
  • Box Cake Mix
  • Box of Twinkies
  • Buttercream Frosting or you can use the homemade recipe below
  • Wilton Decorator Eyes
  • Black Icing Tube
Directions
  1. Mix and bake cake mix according to Instructions filling cupcake liners approximately ½ full.
  2. Cut Twinkie cakes in half. To make the faces of the minions simply add 1 or 2 black
  3. dots where the eyes will go.
  4. Then gently press the decorator eyes into the black dots. This will give the look of the goggles around the eyes.
  5. Then finish the straps of the goggles by adding a line of black icing down the side of the minion.
  6. Add some fun little mouth expressions on their faces.
  7. Once the cupcakes have been taken out of the oven allow them to cool completely.
  8. Take your buttercream frosting and mix in approximately 20 drops of blue icing.
  9. You may need more depending on how dark you want the icing.
  10. Frost the cupcakes using plenty of frosting on each one. I find this makes it sturdier so the minions do not fall.
