Check out this step by step tutorial on How to Make Mike and Sully Cupcakes I created. These are so EASY to do and the kids will love them at their Monsters University Party or even just for fun!!
I am so excited to see the new Monsters University Movie and the wait is almost over – the movie hits theaters June 21st and I am so there.
I created these cupcakes because I know there are going to be many Monsters University Parties out there and I wanted to share how easy it is to make these adorable cupcakes to go along with it.
Here is what I used to create my Mike and Sully Cupcakes:
- Cupcakes of course – Any Flavor works – I used Vanilla
- Pillsbury Funfetti Vibrant Green Vanilla Frosting and Pillsbury Funfetti Aqua Blue Vanilla Frosting
- Large Marshmallows & Mini Marshmallows
- Blue and Black Edible Food Markers
- Cake Mate Black Icing and Cake Mate Purple Icing
- Blue and Green Candy Corns – Easter Candy Corn
- Raspberry Blue & White Gummi Rings
Now let me break it down showing you truly how EASY these Monster Cupcakes are to create!!
I will start with the Mike Swarovski Cupcakes:

For the Mike Cupcakes You will need your Cupcakes, Pillsbury Funfetti Vibrant Green Vanilla Frosting, Large and Mini Marshmallows, Black and Blue Edible Food Markers, Cake Mate Black Icing and Green Candy Corns.
1. Frost your Cupcake Green and try to make it a bit smooth
2. Slice a Large Marshmallow in half for his BIG eye.
3. Using your Food Marker draw a black circle for his eye and then add blue around that.
4. Take a small amount of Green Frosting and give him an eye lid and cover the back of the Marshmallow as well.
5. Stick his eye onto the cupcake.
6. Using the Black Icing create his mouth. Tip: I put the Black Icing onto a plate and used a Toothpick to add his mouth on – I also let the Green Frosting set a bit before I did this step to make it easier.
7. Cut the top part of your Green Candy Corn to create Mike’s horns.
8. Stick Mike’s horns into the top of your cupcake.
9. Cut up some Mini Marshmallows to create Mike’s Teeth. Tip: To help with the stickiness on your scissors and fingers – dip them into water.
10. Add Mike’s teeth onto the Cupcake.
Come on how EASY was that???
Now let me show you how to make the Sully Cupcakes:

For the Sully Cupcakes You will need your Cupcakes, Pillsbury Funfetti Aqua Blue Vanilla Frosting, Large and Mini Marshmallows, Black and Blue Edible Food Markers, Cake Mate Black and Purple Icing, Raspberry Blue & White Gummi Rings
and Blue Candy Corns.
1. Frost your Cupcake Blue and using your knife lift up to create a fur effect
2. Slice a Mini Marshmallow in half for his eyes.
3. Using your Food Marker draw a black circle for his eye and then add blue around that.
4. Take a small amount of Blue Frosting and give him an eye lid and cover the back of the Marshmallow as well.
5. Add his eyes to the cupcake.
6. Cut the Raspberry Blue & White Gummi Ring taking the white part off and then cute the Blue in half or so for his nose.
7. Stick his nose onto the cupcake under his eyes.
8. Using the Black Icing create his mouth. Tip: I put the Black Icing onto a plate and used a Toothpick to add his mouth on – I also let the Blue Frosting set a bit before I did this step to make it easier.
9. I took some of the Purple Icing and added a spot to the side of Sully’s head.
10. Next I cut a Blue Candy Corn in half length wise for his horns. I also heated them up for about 30 seconds in the microwave so I could bend the tips a bit. Be careful because they can break very easily – I did have a bunch of casualties doings this – lol.
11. Add the horns into the cupcake.
12. Cut up some Mini Marshmallows to create Sully’s Teeth. Tip: To help with the stickiness on your scissors and fingers – dip them into water. Also be sure to make 2 larger for the bottom to create his fangs.
13. Add the teeth onto the cupcake. I also added a little more blue frosting above his eyes to give him a bit more eyebrows.
That is it !!! Again how EASY is that?
Tell me the kids would not go crazy for those cuties!!
