M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E


Who's the leader of the club
That's made for you and me?
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E


I don't know about you, but I grew up a Disney child through and through.  I loved going over to my grandparents house because they had the Disney channel (back when it was premium cable like HBO!) and I could watch the All-New Mickey Mouse Club.  (Don't worry, this won't turn into a post about how my love for Justin Timberlake started in childhood!)  I loved - well, love - every last animated Disney movie.  I still get irrationally excited when I find out which classic is coming out of the Disney vault next.  One of the hardest questions I've ever been asked is what would my top five Disney movies be.  I can never limit my favorites to only five!

When a good friend's boyfriend was offered a job at Disney doing animation, I couldn't wait to celebrate with cupcakes!  I didn't have a lot of time to prepare an elaborate spread, though my imagination certainly went wild. 


I opted for some simple mouse cupcakes to fete the newest animator at Disney Studios.  Beneath the playful exterior is what I'm calling my "Adult Funfetti" confection.  It's a white champagne cake with confetti sprinkles mixed in and topped with champagne cream cheese frosting.  Oreos helped Mickey really take shape!


Mixing in the sprinkles for the funfetti!



Nothing but crumbs and good friends remained at the end of the evening.
