I've been pinteresting for my son's upcoming 3rd birthday, and came across these that I made last year for his 2nd birthday. Kellen had just been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia three weeks before the big day. Cancer took its big foot and stomped all over his party.
Kellen was pumped full of chemo and steroids and pretty much felt like doggy doodie, but he had wanted a Mickey Mouse party so bad, we put one together real quick. I found these cupcakes online and thought they were super easy to make.
I baked the chocolate cupcakes and iced the top with chocolate icing (all of this was store bought). I doubled up the red cupcake liners to make sure the red showed up enough.
I piped the icing with a good ol' fashioned Ziploc bag (cutting a hole in the corner). You wanna make sure you pipe the icing high enough to support the ears.
Then I jammed two Oreo's in the top for ears.
I thought they looked pretty good just like this, but decided to add the buttons to his "pants" and thought it made it look better.
I just cut out oval shapes from white printer paper (perfectly unperfect ovals) and in a very delicately messy way, wiped a glue stick on the back and stuck them on.
Kellen loved them.
