Ingredients You Will Need
How to Make the Cupcakes
Step 1: Make a batch of cupcakes. You can use a cake box mix, we have all the instructions you’ll need to make them taste just like homemade right here. Or you can make them from scratch with our yummy Homemade Chocolate Cupcakes recipe. We used chocolate cupcakes but Vanilla Cupcakes would taste great too.
How to Make the Frosting
Step 2: The key to these delicious cupcakes is our Best Buttercream Frosting recipe. It is light and creamy and buttery and super delicious! You will find the recipe and directions here. One batch of frosting will be enough to frost 12 cupcakes. If you used a boxed cake mix, you should have about 18 cupcakes and will need to double the frosting recipe. Tint the frosting pink, we used 3 drops of Wilton Color Right Food Coloring to get this light shade of pink.
How to Make the Candy Bows
Step 4: You’ll need about 20 white candy melts for the Minnie Bow for the top of the cupcake. Place them in a plastic bag and melt them in the microwave. We usually start at about 30 seconds. Check on them and then heat in 10-second intervals until they are fully melted.
Step 5: You can find bow molds for a Minnie Mouse Bow on both Amazon and Etsy. We found ours on Amazon. We only bought one, so the process of making the bows for all 18 cupcakes was kinda slow. We worked on this the week prior to the party and stored the bows in a plastic bag in the freezer until we needed them.
How to Assemble the Cupcakes
Step 5: Grab a cupcake.
Step 6: With the decorating bag and a 1M tip, make four swirls of frosting the last one should end with an upward flourish so that the swirl ends in a peak at the top. You can find a video of how Frost a Cupcake right here.
Step 7: Press the Mini Oreo Ears into the sides of the cupcake at the top. We twisted open the oreo and scrapped the center out and then used one cookie circle for each ear.
Step 8: Finally, add the candy bow to the top of the cupcake and sprinkle the frosting with Sugar Pearls for a fun polka dot effect. You’ll need to add the sprinkles immediately after you make the frosting swirl or they won’t stick.
