To make the fondant Maleficent horns, dust your surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar and roll out the black fondant to ¼" thick.

Print and cut the template (link in blog post) and use an X-Acto knife or paring knife to carefully cut around the template on the fondant.

Make 12 horns in total and place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to dry for at least 6 hours, and up to 24 hours if possible.

To make the fondant Mickey/Minnie ears, dust your surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar and roll out the black fondant to ¼" thick.

Cut out 24 circles with a 4" circle cutter and leave to dry on a cookie sheet as before. Make a few extra ears and horns as backup, just in case!

To make the bows, use about one tablespoon of purple fondant and press it into a bow mold. Carefully remove and place on a cookie sheet to dry for at least 6 hours. Again, 24 hours is best. Make 12 bows in total (with a few extras as before!).

Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 degrees and line cupcake pan with cupcake liners.

Using an electric mixer, mix the cake mix with the milk, eggs, and softened butter until combined.

Add green food coloring and mix to get a bright green shade.

Use an ice cream scoop to fill cupcake liners and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of cupcake.

Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla on medium speed until combined and smooth.

Add green food coloring to desired shade.

Scoop the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Pipe frosting swirls onto the cooled cupcakes.

Place the Maleficent horns in the middle of the middle of the frosting.

Place the Mickey/Minnie ears on either side of the horns.

Place the bow in the front of the horns.
