The one and only Minions have made their way to THM. With Halloween on its way I just had talk about them. Who doesn’t love them . When my son was 1 1/2 years old he was completely obsessed with the Minions. Literally minion mayhem. I wouldn’t be a mom if I didn’t at least think about dressing him up as one for Halloween. I was so surprised how cheap the actual costume was. I remember purchasing it at Party City for only $19.95. My how I wish he was this small again. 1 1/2 was the perfect age. Now my rambunctious child is three and thinks he is a dinosaur.
He was a little Minion himself. Always running around making those Bedo Bedo Bedo sounds. At times I’m pretty sure he understood their own language. Which, was hilarious. I had then decided to document every little thing about him. I’m sure if I knew about the blogging world as I do now you would’ve seen a blog post about it back then. Now come the yummy cupcakes. Mmmmmm..
I am by no means a professional baker. I must say for my first diy baking these came out so good. They tasted even better. I borrowed the recipe from Betty Crocker.
