Mickey and Minnie Cakes
I made these Mickey and Minnie Mouse cakes for my twins' 3rd birthday. I used the Wilton Mickey Face pan (I got it on eBay). I followed the Wilton directions and used a star tip to cover the cakes.
For Minnie Mouse, I added eyelashes and a bow. The bow was made from a roll out sugar cookie. I cut the dough to resemble a bow and baked it like normal. Then I poured pink cookie icing over the top and waited for it to harden before decorating it with white frosting dots. I used a picture of Minnie mouse off of the internet to get the ear to bow proportion correct.
The black frosting is chocolate that I dyed using the Wilton colors. All of the recipes for the frosting I used from the Wilton yearbooks. Chocolate buttercream for the black frosting and buttercream dyed with copper coloring for the face. To save time I used white icing in a tube for the eyes and the background areas. I smoothed the eyes and nose smooth with a clean finger dipped in cornstarch.
Covering both cakes with stars did take some time but I think the results were worth it!
