My Experience With Mickey Mouse 1St Birthday Cupcakes
As a mother of two, I have planned many birthday parties over the years. One of my favorites was my son’s first birthday party, where we decided to go with a Mickey Mouse theme. Everything from the decorations to the party favors was Mickey Mouse themed, and of course, we had to have Mickey Mouse 1st birthday cupcakes.
What are Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Cupcakes?
Mickey Mouse 1st birthday cupcakes are cupcakes that are decorated with a Mickey Mouse theme specifically for a child’s first birthday party. They can be made with any flavor cupcake and frosting, but the decorations usually include Mickey Mouse ears, a bow tie, or even a little Mickey Mouse face on top of the cupcake.
Step by Step Guide for Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Cupcakes
- Bake your cupcakes according to your favorite recipe.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
- Frost the cupcakes with your chosen frosting. You can use a piping bag to create a swirl on top of the cupcake.
- To create the Mickey Mouse ears, use Oreo cookies. Twist the cookies apart, and use one side for each ear. Place them in the frosting at the top of the cupcake.
- To create the bow tie, use a piece of red fondant. Roll it out and cut it into a bow tie shape. Place it in the center of the cupcake, underneath the ears.
- To create the Mickey Mouse face, use black and white fondant. Roll out the black fondant and cut out two circles for the ears. Roll out the white fondant and cut out a larger circle for the face. Place the ears on top of the white circle and place the whole thing on top of the cupcake.
