Disney Villain Cruella de Vil Cupcakes

Cruella de Vil cupcakeLook Out For Cruella Cupcakes!

From her hair to her style, Cruella de Vil is hard not to love.  Pair her with tons of sweet spotted puppies and talk about a fantastically evil cupcake!

This Halloween season on the blog you’ll find tutorials for my favorite Disney Villain Inspired cupcakes!  Here’s how to make this wickedly sweet Cruella de Vil cupcake.

  1. Start by making white cake cupcakes.  I found awesome zebra print baking cups made by Wilton and thought instantly of Cruella.  If you don’t want to purchase these, black baking cups will work.Cruela Devil 001
  2. Once the cupcakes have cooled you’ll need your leaf decorating tip and black and white icing.  I’ve never had success with trying to make my own black icing, so I took the simple route and used Wilton’s black decorating icing tube and their leaf decorating tip.  They worked perfectly.
  3. Outline half of the cupcake in black icing. Fill in the semi-circle with a base coat of icing.  This will give the icing “hair” some height.Cruela Devil 005
  4. Attach the leaf decorating tip to your icing tube, or icing bag filled with icing.  At a 90 degree angle apply icing by allowing icing to pool then release the pressure on the icing bag as you pull the tip straight up.  This will create Cruella’s crazy hair effect.  Continue to do this until the entire semi-circle is full of hair spikes.
  5. Repeat Step 4 with white icing.Cruela Deville

The Evil Queen’s Red Apple Cupcake

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

wickedly good“Go On.  Go On.  Have a Bite.”

National Apple Month begins on September 1st and goes all the way through the month of November.  I’m not quite sure how this came to be, since it’s actually THREE months long!  Regardless, this week I thought I’d share a few “Disney” apple treat ideas that you can make with your children during this three-month long celebration. The ideas will be super easy to make and the kids will love to “help”.

To start the week, of course I had to recreate the most famous Disney Apple!  The Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs said it best when she said, “This is no ordinary apple, it’s a magic *wishing* apple.”

I suggest that we “wish” that they’d be calorie free , but alas it’s a cupcake apple, so our wish would not come true.  I promise you that if you wished for them to be easy to make, then your wish is granted.

Decorating Items Needed:

  • cupcakes
  • red icing
  • red sprinkles
  • pretzel sticks
  • green taffy

To Decorate the Cupcakes:

  1. Ice your cupcake with red icing.
  2. Cover the cupcake icing with red sprinkles.
  3. Break a pretzel stick in half.  Insert one half of the stick, broken side down, into the center of the cupcake.  Make sure it’s partly sticking out.
  4. Cut a triangle shape out of a piece of green Taffy.  Attach the triangle shape Taffy to the bottom of the pretzel stem.
  5. Repeat the above steps for the rest of your cupcake bushel.

If you like to limit your child’s intake on sweets, pin this idea for a later date.  The Evil Queen’s Apple could easily be used as a special treat during a Princess themed birthday party or a Disney Villain Halloween party.

 

The apples in our yard still have a long way to go before picking!

Maybe I should listen to Snow White instead of the Queen and just make a Gooseberry Pie!
