Step 1 : How to Make a Minion Cake – Gather suppliesĬhecklist: Supplies needed for a Minion Cake Kids LOVE this! So enjoy the minion cake journey! Oh yes, don’t be overwhelmed by the list of supplies, I am just trying to remember everything. There may be bumps and wrinkles in your minion cake but just let it go and have fun! I let my ten year old daughter stay up until 1AM to help out. In the end, after all the stressing the cake was not 100% perfect – but this happy little minion cake was devoured in moments and the kids LOVED it! So just enjoy the process. I am much better at Geometry – there was a lot of math involved in coming up with this design. I really doubt I have an ounce of artistic ability so I used a coloring page online to come out with the proportions used in this tutorial. After watching Despicable Me over 100 times I realized minions come in all shapes and sizes so the layers of cake do not have to be exactly the size that I have outlined. Also, don’t worry too much about perfection with your little minion cake. Marshmallow fondant can be made in advanced but in my climate it dries out very quickly. I have seen way too many Cake Boss episodes and forget that I don’t have a 20 person staff to help me out. This saves a lot of time when assembling and decorating the cake. Wrap the cake layers for the minion in saran wrap and freeze until ready to use. If possible, prepare the buttercream and cakes a day or two in advanced. I just happened to have an oven safe bowl for the dome part of the minion’s head. Luckily, I hit Michael’s the day before making the cake for a few missing colors and the six inch baking pans. Yes, I did! It was a crazy weekend! I started the cake at 8PM after my kids went to bed and finished the cake at 3AM the day of my daughter’s birthday. First, do not expect to do all this work in one night.

You need to pre-order the slab, and it should be baked the day before so that it is easy to cut into shape.Matilda turned 8 this Fall! I can’t believe it. My flat minion cake with buttercream uses a half slab vanilla sponge cake from Woolworths which costs around $20.

The most popular amongst the children was the treasure chest as it was full of lollies, while the most challenging was the swimming pool, which included jelly water. I made many birthday cakes for my children when they were little from a well-thumbed copy of the Women’s Weekly Children’s Birthday Cake Book. However, many looked very complicated, and I was looking for something easy. When I decided to make a minion birthday cake for Frankie’s second birthday, the first thing I did was search for photos of similar cakes, and there were from which to choose.
