So my daughter; at the time almost 2 years old, loved minions! She watched despicable me a ridiculous amount of times a day and drove me insane. But I love her so I wanted to give her an amazing minions birthday party!

Cakes now a days are made extremely well and there are so many creative designs. With that being said… The prices are nuts and I was not and probably will never pay that amount for my children’s birthday cakes. So I made my own! Nothing crazy fancy but it was a big hit and tasted great!

What you need: ● Yellow cake mix (or whatever kind you want really doesn’t matter)

● Whipped fluffy white frosting.

● 3 or 4 Pieces of Black licorice. (Or if you can find it, black licorice string)

● A Mason jar lid rim.

● 3 Mini Oreos.

● Yellow food coloring.

● Blue cake icing (comes in a tube or spray can thing)

● Black cake icing.

● 1 Mint Chocolate Patty

What to do:

Bake the cake in a 9′x13′ pan, let cool.

Cut the top corners of the cake off so you have the rounded minion head. Trim the bottom if you desire a more rounded look.

Mix your food coloring into the frosting (set aside about a tblsp before mixing in the yellow) Mixing works best if frosting is at room temp. Apply a thin layer of the frosting to the cake(first layer) Then chill cake for about an hour.  once chilled apply a nice thick coat (the rest of the yellow frosting) and chill for another hour.  While waiting for it to chill slice black licorice strips lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces. ( Probably easier to use the string but i couldn’t for the life of me find any anywhere so i had to improvise.)

Once cake is chilled apply the Blue icing to the bottom Jean part of the minion. (The icing will spread easier if it is room temp or warm.)

Add your licorice pieces around the edges of the blue icing as a trim/outline of the jean overalls. 

Spread the tblsp of White icing onto the mint patty and top with a mini oreo; Creating the eye. (You could make two eyes depending on which minion you want to create) Place eye/eyes where you’d like and place mason jar lid rim over the mint patty; creating the looking glass.

Use the Black icing to draw on straps to the looking glass.

Use two mini oreos to add buttons to the overalls.  Finish off by adding a black licorice smile(Or whatever expression you want) and cutting the licorice into smaller pieces to make little hairs on top of the minions head.

I had fun making and also serving this cake!! It was a big hit and we got roughly 10-12 pieces out of it (smaller pieces). I made Yellow cupcakes just in case we were short ;) Enjoy!!
