Edible Aliens

This was published in the Family Fun magazine in anticipation of the release of Toy Story 3. So while it’s not a recipe from a Disney restaurant, it is for a Disney movie so I’m going to add to that category as well.  They are cupcakes that should look like the aliens off of the Toy Story movies.

Ingredients

  • 1 cake mix, any flavor
  • neon green food coloring
  • white frosting
  • green sour straws
  • spearmint gumdrops
  • sugar
  • Mentos
  • black gel icing

Instructions

  1. Mix food coloring with frosting a drop at a time until the desired shad is reached.
  2. Spread the frosting onto a baked cupcake.
  3. For the antenna, insert a 2 inch section of a green sour straw.
  4. For ears, use a rolling pin to flatten a spearmint gumdrop between two sheets of waxed paper. Coat the flattened candy with sugar. Use a knife to cut ear-shaped pieces, then press them into place.
  5. Line up three mint Mentos eyes and dot them with black get icing for pupils.
  6. Add a circle of gel icing for awed, open mouth.

Please note that over the years I have gathered recipes from everywhere imaginable. Most recipes posted on this site were given to me or I found somewhere along the line. I will note a source if known, but I rarely keep original sources. Magazines or loose recipes are thrown away, books are passed on to others to enjoy, and in the early days, I never thought to note an online source.
