Recipe For A 3D Minion Cake

Ingredients
  

For The Cake

  • 4 Boxed Cake Mixes
  • The instructions on my boxed cake were yours may differ
  • 3 eggs per cake mix
  • 1 Cup of Water
  • 1/2 Cup of oil

For The Icing

  • 2 8 oz defrosted Whipped Toppings

For The Minions

  • 6 Golden Creme Filled Sponge Cakes
  • 1 Small Tube of Black Writing Gel Icing
  • 1 Larger tube of Blue Icing
  • 14 Mini Marshmallow Bites or 7 depending on one eye or 2

Instructions
 

For The Cake

  • Make cakes 2 boxes at a time per mixing bowl according to box instructions.
  • Prepare 2 large Rectangular Baking pans(12" x16") with non stick spray and flour.
  • Pour One set of 2 into one pan and pour the 2nd set into other pan(each pan would be made of 2 boxed cake mixes)
  • Bake at Temperature on boxed cake mix per directions.
  • Once Baked, allow to cool for a few hours minimum(remember you are spreading whipped topping on it, it will melt if the cake is not completely cool.

For The Icing

  • Make sure that you have thoroughly defrosted the whipped topping.
  • Place whipped topping in a bowl and mix to fluff
  • Ice The First pan and then top with the second cake
  • Ice the second cake

For The Minions

  • Place the sponge cakes on a cutting board
  • Cut each one to varying heights, I cut some in 1/2, some I took of just a 1/4 and others I barely took any off of at all, to give them all personality.
  • Once cut to size, take the writing gel and decide if the minion will have one goggle or 2 and then decorate accordingly. Do not GOP the writing gel, just enough to make it shown
  • Take a Mini Marshmallow, dot it with black writing gel and place in the middle of the goggles to create a 3D eye effect and it is an eyeball.
  • Finish each minion one by one as many as you want to adorn your cake
  • Go around each placed minion with thicker blue decorating icing, forming a ring around each(it's their suspenders)
  • That is what they look like complete and that is what your cake looks like completed it is a 3D Minion Cake
