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 šŸ°
    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 šŸ„„
    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 šŸŽØ
    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.
