Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

For The Cake
  1. Make cakes 2 boxes at a time per mixing bowl according to box instructions.
  2. Prepare 2 large Rectangular Baking pans(12" x16") with non stick spray and flour.
  3. 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)
  4. Bake at Temperature on boxed cake mix per directions.
  5. 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
  1. Make sure that you have thoroughly defrosted the whipped topping.
  2. Place whipped topping in a bowl and mix to fluff
  3. Ice The First pan and then top with the second cake
  4. Ice the second cake
For The Minions
  1. Place the sponge cakes on a cutting board
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Finish each minion one by one as many as you want to adorn your cake
  6. Go around each placed minion with thicker blue decorating icing, forming a ring around each(it's their suspenders)
  7. That is what they look like complete and that is what your cake looks like completed it is a 3D Minion Cake
