Deliciously Evil Villain CupcakesA Disney Villain Party ~ What Devilish Fun!

On Friday, September 13th Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida hosted a frightfully fun Villain’s event called  “Unleash the Villains”.  It was such a huge success that the park’s parking lot reached its capacity!  There’s no denying that we all have a favorite Disney Villain.  These “Disney Villain Inspired” cupcakes feature my favorite Villains!

Look for the tutorials on how to make these tasty little trouble makers throughout the month of October.  I have previously featured two Villain cupcakes on the blog, Captain Hook and the Evil Queen’s Apples.  If you’ve missed them here are the links to the tutorials.

Miniature Mickey CupcakesA Sweet Touch of Mickey and Minnie to Make Any Moment Magical

Unless you’re Rapunzel stuck in her tower, your life is pretty busy.  You would probably love to design a pre-Disney vacation party for your family but you don’t have the time.   Here’s a perfect way to add a touch of Disney to your hectic schedule. Surprise your family with these yummy miniature Mickey and Minnie Mouse cupcakes.  This cute little pair, is not only portion controlled, but also quick to make!

I stumbled upon Nabisco’s Snack Well’s 100 Calorie Fudge Pretzels during a recent grocery trip.  As soon as I saw those miniature rings I knew I had to make miniature Mickey and Minnie Mouse cupcakes!  I doubt Nabisco would appreciate me turning their 100 calorie snacks into a litter of Mickey and Minnie inspired cupcakes, but I couldn’t help myself.

Bake your favorite chocolate cake in a mini muffin tin, apply chocolate icing to each cupcake. Open a snack bag of Snack Well’s Fudge Pretzels and pick out two pretzels that look about the same size.  Place two on the top of each cupcake.  DONE!

This week on the blog I will be featuring extremely creative and magical party ideas to help you and your family throw the perfect Pre-Vacation Walt Disney World Party.  Today I’m delighted to share with you A Magic Kingdom Party created by Erin of Landsdown Life.  Erin designed this party for her three-year old daughter’s birthday and what a pixie dusted perfect day her little Mouseketeer was given!

The attention to detail found at this party was outstanding.  Erin took the time to custom design and create the party invitations, décor, food, party hats and favor bags (featured below).  Since her daughter’s two favorite rides are It’s a Small World and The Enchanted Tiki Room, she included both into the party’s design.

Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Shaped Cookies

Mickey mouse pumpkin cookiesWhen I think of Fall, I think of Mickey Mouse Pumpkins.

Mickey Pumpkins

Where I live, once summer has ended and fall has arrived, the evenings welcome a nice warm stove baking cookies.  At The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, the fall brings pumpkins in the shape of Mickey Mouse.  In preparation for our upcoming fall vacation to Walt Disney World, I thought I’d combine the two and make these Mickey Mouse pumpkin shaped cookies.  I think they’d be a great addition to any upcoming Halloween parties too!  Since a Mickey Mouse pumpkin cookie cutter doesn’t exist, here are two tutorials on how to make them.

The first way to make to Mickey Mouse pumpkin shaped cookie is to use a pumpkin shaped cookie cutter with a small circle cookie cutter.

IMG_2146Cut off the bottom of the circles before attaching them to the pumpkin

IMG_2143Shape the circles to fit the shape of the pumpkin and gently press them together.  Secure the ear by applying a tiny bit of water.  Then into the oven they go.

 

IMG_2150The second way to make a Mickey Mouse pumpkin shaped cookie is to use a Mickey Mouse shaped cookie cutter, flatten the bottom and add a stem.

 Into the oven they go.

Regardless of which way I made these cookies, the kids in the neighborhood referred to the cookies as the Mickey Mouse pumpkin cookies…Success!

A Nutritiously Sweet Mickey Mouse Apple

categories: Disney-Inspired Crafts, Disney-Inspired Party Planning, Disney-Inspired Treats

DSC_2177What could make this classic apple a bit more attractive to your Preschooler?

Try turning his snack into a Mickey Mouse Apple.  With the use of two small black cardstock circles and two small pieces of tape, you’ve got a Mickey Apple!

First wash your apple and dry it really well so the tape will stick.  Make two circles on black cardstock.  I traced a lid to a container that is the size of a typical spice container.  Then cut them out and tape them face down.  Bend back the “ears” so that they fit the apple.  That’s it- you’re done!

DSC_2214

It’s the simplest thing to do, but effective.  As soon as my six-year-old and two-year-old saw the apples, they both wanted the Mickey one!  Just make sure that your little Mouseketeer takes the ears and pieces of tape off the apple before they bite into it.

DSC_2216Which one do you think your Mouseketeer will pick?
