Want to make a Mickey head cupcake but don’t want to spend money on Mickey shaped pans? My reader Joanne found a very frugal solution. Just put paper cups in the muffin tin and put marbles on the side to make the indentions so that the batter cooks in a Mickey shape!
Be sure to let us know how this turns out for your family!
(Thanks Joanne!)

love the idea but you would spend just as much on the glue dots. If you have them already use them, but don’t go out and buy them just for this. Glue dots are expensive! And you could ruin your pan!
Gina says
Glue dots? They’re marbles.

My daughter is on Spring break and is looking for something creative to do! We’ll have Mickey/Minnie cupcakes!

OMG I am throwing a minnie mouse party for my three year old this weekend and it could not come in perfect timing. Thanks for the frugalness. I will let you know how it turns out on my pilot set of cupcakes.

Where was this post last October when we had a Mickey themed Birthday party?! I’m still going to use it, maybe a special treat soon.
