You do. She's the same Christy photographer that took all of the amazingly flattering pictures of my family on my about me page. Yes, I normally frolic in a field wearing fake eyelashes. Apparently this minion got into some mischief. :) This photo was taken in the "line up" at my friend Christy's house. I made this homemade DIY minion costume for a Halloween party last year and in my extremely bias opinion, it's awesome. WHAT?!! Dude, I know you just said that in minion voice. If you could head over and give him a click (he's #33), he'd really like it :) Click here! Minion here is competing in costume contest. I used an icing tip that created a flat line and make strips, until covered.Hey, so Mr. Fill in the lines with more icing and then smooth it with a small knife or spatula. Place the tootsie roll ring around it. Draw two lines of icing about two inches apart on either side of the silver eye piece using black buttercream. To assemble, place the finished eye piece onto the cake towards the top, middle. Coat the chocolate candy ring with a little honey using a pastry brush-you may not use all of the honey. Place the white or silver sugar in a dish and dip the chocolate ring into the sugar. Gently pull the candy off of the tumbler, being careful to keep the shape. Press the rope around a plastic tumbler with a rim that just fits around your eye piece. Roll the candy between your palms into a rope. You can also put them in the microwave, unwrapped, for a few seconds to softened them up. If you want to go this route, just stack the small chocolate disk onto the blue one.įor the goggles, take about 3-5 tootsie rolls and knead until soft. When I saw the blue candy melts I thought it would be fun to give the minion a blue eye. To finish the jumper insert two hershey kisses, upside down, into each side.įor the minion’s eye, frost the large chocolate disk with a thick layer of white buttercream icing. Hopefully your lace won’t have kinks in it! I had one in an unfortunate spot, right in the middle of the jumper. Use licorice lace to cover the line made by the spatula. Use more licorice laces to outline the bottom edges of the cake and to outline the minion’s jumper. Mix the blue buttercream and spread blue on the remaining portion. This line will separate the yellow body from the blue pants. Repeat another layer with the yellow icing only going down about 3/4 of the way, using a spatula to make the icing as smooth and flat as possible. Use the spatula to make an upward curving line in the icing about 4 inches from the bottom of the cake. Then place in the freeze for about 30 min to firm up. This is a perfect minion colour, they should rename it ‘Minion Yellow’! Do a thin crumb coat on the coat, this can be a messy layer and will get the loose crumbs. Mix your Lemon Yellow food colouring with the buttercream icing. Trim away the square edge of the cake to create an oblong shape for your minion. Bake the box cake mix according to the package in a 9×13 pan.
