Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake plus ingredients needed on the box
  • 1 container white frosting
  • 10 Twinkies
  • 1 tube blue food coloring
  • 20 cupcake liners
  • 1 tube black decorating gel
  • Candy eyeballs found at Walmart or alternatively use smarties candies and draw an eyeball inside

Instructions

  • Prepare 20 cupcakes according to package instructions. While they are baking, scoop the frosting into a bowl and add blue food coloring. Mix well and continue adding drops until you reach a medium blue. Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost them.
  • Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving these cupcakes, begin the process of making the minion heads. Cut the Twinkies in half as you go. Using the black gel, draw a single line around the rounded portion of the minion head about halfway down. Alternate between using one and two candy eyes. Squirt a glob of the black gel onto the backside of each eye. Gently press the eye(s) onto the center of each black stripe. Draw a smile onto the minion and add hair (center part, spiky look or single curl).
  • Carefully place the heads onto the tops of the cupcakes, pressing down gently. Serve!
