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!
It’s sooooo cute !!!!
Looks Great!!!
excellent work..I love these. I have to deliver a Mickey Mouse birthday cake by the end of this week & looking at your beautiful work might give me some ideas..thanks!!
This cake was so awesome. I loved doing it and my daughter can’t wait to eat it!! Thanks for the tips!!
Your cakes are brilliant. My twins will be 2 next month and are Mickey and Minnie mad so I will be attempting much the same for their party.
Twin boys turning 2 next month. Love the Mickey cake, I’m trying to decide if I should attempt or print this and take it to someone else! You did great!
That’s an amazing cake. I’m trying to get a Minnie in Mickey cake that is like that but stacked on top of each other for my twin’s birthday in June. Running out of time.
Awesome!! I have twins (boy/girl) turning 3 this August! Thanks for sharing!
I love it. Perfect.
I am new to the cake making world but I am going to attempt 1 or perhaps two of these adorable cakes for my soon to be 3 year old son.
Please tell me how would I get Oreo cookie to stick to the cake? I presume I would have to crumble it on to a thinner layer of black icing.Is this the way? some one please help as I don’t fancy too much mess or evil looks from mothers who need to wash their child’s best frock. Thank you x
Where did you find the mickey mouse face cake pan? I’m having difficulty finding it.
ur cakes r the best
Great work I was wondering how did the black dye taste cause I know sometime’s it can taste not so great
That is a Good idea to Suprise Kids to Disneyworld.
I used to live in Yuba City! Awesome. My son will be 5 in 3 days. He found my Mickey cake pan and that is the only thing he wants for his birthday. Wish me luck.
Thanks so much for posting this. I’m going to try it for my boy/girl twins’ 2nd birthday this month!
