Everybody loves Mickey Mouse, adults and children alike. Making a Mickey Mouse cake for your child's birthday party will delight him as well as the guests. Mickey is actually one of the easier cakes to create and only takes some specially colored icing and round cake pans.

Create a Mickey Mouse face by using a pre-shaped pan or two round pans, cutting one of the cakes to fit the shape of Mickey's face. Then, using the other round cake, proceed to cut out the ears and decorate. Add a bow if it is a Minnie Mouse cake for a girl.

Decorate a two-layer cake or cupcakes with mickey mouse figurines or candles.

How to Make Dark Red Icing

Dark colored icing is somewhat tricky to make because it just doesn't darken enough. Red icing often looks too pink and green icing looks too pastel and not natural if it is being used for grass color. Adding more food coloring doesn't help, either, because it changes the consistency and gives it an unusual taste. To make a perfectly colored Mickey Mouse cake, try these dark icing instructions.

Mickey Mouse Cupcakes

These make cute cupcakes for an anytime snack or special occasion:

Frost your cupcake black or use black fondant
Add two fondant ears to the top or Oreo cookies for ears. Dark chocolate icing works well if you'd rather not make black icing

Another cupcake idea is to cut out black fondant circles for the face and ears. Attach to a frosted cupcake.

Or frost cupcakes and add cupcake picks or small Mickey Mouse cupcake toppers or toys.
