These Mickey Mouse cupcakes were made specially for a friend of mine. We used to be colleagues working together in the finance department in a company under the oil and gas industry. A very helpful and patient man. He had given me alot of guidance during those days when I was still very much a green horn in the working world. He made a career switch about three years ago to devote himself to childcare education. Although it sounded like a very risky move, but I think it is admirable and it is also a wonderful thing to pursue ones true passion in life. He is now a principal in a newly set up childcare center and I paid him a visit this afternoon.
Back to my Mickey Mouse cupcakes.... My recent trip to Hong Kong Disneyland has given me the inspiration to make them. I was looking for ideas in the souvenir shops in Disneyland Resort and it suddenly dawned on me that I could try to put all the signature icons of Mickey and Minnie onto my next cupcake project. So I drew out the icons and pipe them out with royal icing. Together with the matching colors red, yellow, white and black... ta-ta... a bunch of nice looking Mickey and Minnie Mouse cupcakes!
