Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking liners. In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, water, eggs, and oil. Using a hand or stand mixer, mix on low speed for 1 minute and then on medium for 1 minute. Incorporate the hot cocoa mix.

Fill each muffin cup 2/3 of the way with batter. Bake 18-20 minutes or until it springs back when touched. Let cool.

In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat butter and vanilla. Slowly mix in the marshmallow fluff for 1 minute or until creamy.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Oreo Ear Placement 🐭
When adding Mini Oreo Cookies as Mickey ears, use a small dab of frosting as 'glue' to secure them perfectly in place on the cupcake.
Marshmallow Frosting Technique 🍰
For the smoothest marshmallow buttercream, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
Cake Mix Enhancement 🥄
Replace water with hot cocoa mix and avocado oil to add extra moisture and depth of flavor to your chocolate cake mix base.
Even Cupcake Sizing 🧁
Use an ice cream scoop to ensure uniform cupcake sizes and even baking, which is crucial for creating perfect Mickey Mouse shapes.
Frosting Decoration Hack 🎨
Use a piping bag with a large round tip to create smooth, rounded frosting that mimics Mickey Mouse's head shape before adding the Oreo ears.
