Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of Twinkies (for the cupcake base)
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- Buttercream frosting (blue and gray colors for WALL-E’s look)
- Fondant or edible paper (for WALL-E’s eyes and other features)
- Edible food coloring (gray, white, black)
- Decorative edible glitter (optional, for extra sparkle)
- Sprinkles or themed cake toppers (for added fun)
Instructions
- Start by unwrapping the Twinkies and setting them aside.
- If you prefer a firmer cupcake, make vanilla cake batter and bake in a muffin tin. For authentic WALL-E flavor, soak the Twinkies briefly in milk for moisture.
- Prepare the buttercream frosting, dividing it into bowls and tinting with food coloring to match WALL-E’s gray, white, and black features.
- Frost the Twinkies with gray for the body, white for the eyes, and black for pupils using piping bags.
- Use fondant or edible paper to craft WALL-E’s eyes, antenna, and mechanical details, attaching with frosting or edible glue.
- Decorate with edible glitter or sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Arrange the finished cupcakes on a themed platter or stand for presentation.
Notes
- For extra stability, refrigerate cupcakes if decorating ahead of time.
- Use edible glue or a dab of frosting to attach fondant decorations.
- Feel free to customize WALL-E’s features with different edible colors or decorations.
