It’s that time again. Time for another fun Despicable Me Minion party tutorial.
This week I’m bringing you a FREE Despicable Me 2 Minion push-up cupcake wrapper printable.
I asked the amazing Juliann Law to create these for me. She did such a fantastic job.
Minion push up cupcakes
Before I share the free printable though, I want to share yellow cake instructions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cake flour (and 1/4 cup extra)
- 1 stick butter - softened (and 1 tbs extra - melted)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs, plus
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tbs vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Brush a little melted butter into mini muffin tins, then sprinkle flour over the top, making sure to get rid of any excess - I hold it upside down over the sink and shake it out.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until combined and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and egg yolks gradually, and then add the vanilla.
- Add about a cup of dry ingredients to the butter mixture and combine on low speed.
- Add in about 1/2 of the buttermilk and combine.
- Repeat until all flour and buttermilk have been completely combined.
- Pour mixture into mini muffin tins and bake for approximately 15 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean).
- Once baked, set aside to cool.
While the cupcakes are cooling, make your frosting. I normally make mine according to C&H Powdered Sugar package directions – which is basically a 1lb box of powdered sugar, 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 tsp pure vanilla essence. Combine all ingredients, then add Wilton yellow food gel coloring (just a little at a time) until the desired color is reached.
Alternate adding a cupcake and yellow frosting to the plastic push-up cupcake container. You should end up with three layers. Pipe a little extra yellow frosting onto the top cupcake and top with brown sprinkles.
NOTE: I used the Wilton brand of treat pop containers, see how the lid makes a great stand so they don’t fall over.

We had a Minion birthday party for our 5 year old last week and as super as it was, having your wrappers there would have been truly despicable! My son’s Valentine goodie bags will feature them, wrapped around Twinkies with a “You’re One in a Minion, Valentine” tag. Thanks for the awesome printable – too cute!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your printables. My son’s birthday is on Friday, Valentines day. He is having a minion party. I am going to try out the push pop idea for this first time. Wish me luck!! Thanks again.

Hi Dana,
The link is still working, I’ve checked it periodically over the past week, but there’s been a huge influx of people swinging by to download it so I’m not sure if that’s slowing things down, or if some people are having browser issues. I’ve just emailed the file to you. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. Tonya.
Hi Tonya-
I’m having trouble with the link as well. WE are using them for valentines party Friday as well. Please email me a pdf as well.
Hi Tonya,
I cannot get the link to open for the cupcake wrappers after trying numerous times, is this link still good? Thank you so much 🙂 Love your BLOG!!!
