Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out Movie opens today!! I had the fun opportunity to see a sneak peek and I gotta say I loved it! So cute and I love how the writers, producers and digital artists portrayed the characters!! Of course I cannot forget to mention the actors who were the voices for the characters!! I was so excited about this movie I created these adorable Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out Movie Joy Inspired Cupcakes!!
Are these not the cutest cupcakes ever?? I think they are a great way to celebrate the opening of the new movie Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out don’t you???
Now to make the face is a little complicated I wont lie. Using royal frosting and a template of Joys face, is how the Joy candy piece was created. If your not familiar with working with royal frosting I would go with an easier route.
If you wanted to recreate a similar version I would recommend using the blue frosting and covering with blue sanding sugar and just use two candy eyes for a much simpler version of Joy!
These cupcakes will be the hit of the party for any Inside Out Themed Party!
Are you taking your kids to see Inside Out? I highly recommend this movie for any family activity. This movie will have you rolling in your seat and tears will be shed but it is a wonderful movie and will leave you with a good feeling when you walk out of the theater!!
