Twinkies Make Great Minions

Finished Minions

I saw this super fun blog post on making Minion cupcakes with Twinkies here and knew I had to try it.  It was our friend's birthday while we were at the beach so we surprised her tonight with a Minion party!

Bake Cupcakes and let cool while assembling minions

Cut Twinkies in half

Sort out Smarties - I used the white ones for the eyes

I used black frosting and a Ziploc bag to pipe the goggles, eyeballs and faces

 Frost cupcake, attach minion and add chocolate jimmies for hair

 

Voila - finished minions!

Happy Birthday Robin :)
