Minions Assemble!

For the Chaos Twins' Birthdays this year, I wanted to do something funny and special for them.  We opted not to do the birthday party route this year, choosing instead a whole weekend of fun family activities.  

I saw these cupcakes posted on Pinterest just a few days before and knew that I had to make them.  We love Despicable Me! around here, so I knew the kids would love them.

And they sure did!  

I made boy and girl Minions, and made them with decorators gel and mini marshmallows.  If there were ever to be a "Next Time" I would use melted chocolate for the details, the decorators gel is kind gross.

I also learned that I have great resolve.  I took one single bite of a cupcake and threw it away.  Go me!  Oh, and Twinkies?  Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.  Just... Yuck.  

 What do you think?  Are you going to assemble your own army of Minions?
