The new Despicable Me 4 movie is out now and we can’t wait to see our favorite minions on the big screen again!

To celebrate, I made this adorable minion shaped cake for our movie night treat! This fun recipe is super simple and fun for kids to help decorate (and eat).

Despicable Me Minion Cake

Ingredients

• 1 boxed cake mix and ingredients required on box usually eggs, butter/oil, milk
• 1 jar white frosting I used cream cheese
• yellow food coloring
• blue food coloring
• black licorice strings or pieces
• 1 Oreo cookie
• 1 mini Oreo cookie
• white or silver round lid from a mason jar or tumbler

Instructions

• 1.Bake cake in a greased round cake pan according to instructions on the box.
• Let cool completely and gently remove the cake from the pan and place on a platter.
• Scoop a few heaping spoonfuls of frosting into a small bowl.
• Add 3-5 drops of blue food coloring into the frosting in the bowl and stir until combined and tinted bright blue.
• Now add yellow food coloring (around 5 drops) to the remaining frosting in the jar and stir well until evenly tinted.
• Add the blue frosting to the bottom 1/4 of the cake, spreading on the top and sides. This is the minion overalls.
• Next, add the yellow frosting to the remaining top and sides of the cake, spreading evenly to cover.
• For the minion eye, place the lid in the top center of the cake.
• Now open an Oreo cookie and place the bottom half of the cookie (the black cookie with the creme center) in the center of the lid.
• Top with a small mini Oreo cookie (you can do a whole cookie or just the top part).
• Next, you need the black licorice to add hair and a smile.  Press a small smile made with the black licorice in a wide "U" shape on the cake under the eye.
• Then use 3-5 small pieces of licorice and press into the frosting on the top of the cake above the eye as hair.
• Now you have an adorable minion shaped treat for your next movie or birthday party!

Any cake mix flavor works. I used this tasty coconut cake from Dolly Parton’s line. 

For the frosting just use a white colored frosting. I used cream cheese. 

Bake cake in a greased round cake pan according to instructions on the box.

Let cool completely and gently remove the cake from the pan and place on a platter. 

Time to dye the frosting for our minion!

Scoop a few heaping spoonfuls of frosting into a small bowl. 

Add 3-5 drops of blue food coloring into the frosting in the bowl and stir until combined and tinted bright blue.

 Now add yellow food coloring (around 5 drops) to the remaining frosting in the jar and stir well until evenly tinted. 

Add the yellow frosting to about 3/4 of the top and sides of the cake, spreading evenly to cover. 

Nest, add the blue frosting to the bottom 1/4 of the cake, spreading on the top and sides. This is the minion overalls.

Now time to add the minion eye! All you need is something this is a large circle shape like a lid.

Place the lid in the top center of the cake.

Now open an Oreo cookie and place the bottom half of the cookie (the black cookie with the creme center) in the center of the lid.

Top with a small mini Oreo cookie (you can do a whole cookie or just the top part). 

Next, you need the black licorice to add hair and a smile. The string licorice works best but any will work. 

Press a small smile made with the black licorice in a wide “U” shape on the cake under the eye. 

Then use 3-5 small pieces of licorice and press into the frosting on the top of the cake above the eye as hair. 

Now you have an adorable and delicious minion cake! How easy was that?!

“Bello!”

Rollups are a often requested lunch in our home. I love that they are easy to make and portable, perfect for picnics and road trips.

You can also add just about any filling you want inside the tortilla and just roll it up and slice! My kids like PB&J, turkey and cream cheese, and barbecue chicken. 

Today I’m sharing my BBQ Chicken Rollups recipe that is delicious as a snack, appetizer, lunch, and also a dip!

Print

Buffalo Chicken Rollups

Makes 4-5 rollups, approx 32

Ingredients

• 1 large cooked chicken breast boneless and skinless
• 4 oz {1/2 block} cream cheese cubed and softened
• 1/4 cup barbecue sauce I like Sweet Baby Ray's
• 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1-2 tsp barbecue seasoning to taste I like McCormick Grill Masters
• 4-5 fajita size {medium} tortillas

Instructions

• Add cooked and cooled chicken breast to a food processor and pulse until finely shredded. You can also shred by hand with two forks.
• In a bowl, add chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, barbecue sauce, and seasoning.
• Mix until well combined.
• Place a tortilla on a cutting board and spread a couple tablespoons of the barbecue chicken mixture all over.
• Roll up the tortilla and place seam side down on a plate.
• Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• You can wrap the tortillas tightly in cling wrap if you are not serving right away. I like to chill for at least an hour before slicing.
• Once you are ready to serve, slice into bite size rolls, about 8 per tortilla.

Notes

You can also prepare the BBQ chicken filling and serve with crackers as a dip. 

 Add cooked and cooled chicken breast to a food processor and pulse until finely shredded.

You can also shred by hand with two forks.

In a bowl, add chicken, cream cheese, shredded cheese, barbecue sauce, and seasoning.

Mix until well combined.

Now it’s time to make the rollups or you can just serve the barbecue chicken mixture as a dip with crackers and veggies. 

Place a tortilla on a cutting board and spread a couple tablespoons of the barbecue chicken mixture all over.

Roll up the tortilla and place seam side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

You can wrap the tortillas tightly in cling wrap if you are not serving right away.

I like to chill for at least an hour before slicing.

Once you are ready to serve, slice into bite size rolls, about 8 per tortilla.

Serve and enjoy this flavorful meal!
