Instructions
Make Fondant Minnie Ears & Bow:
- Lightly dust a cutting board with powdered sugar.
- Using your hands, knead the red fondant until it is soft and easy to mold.
- Take the paintbrush and dip it into powdered sugar.
- Place the silicone mat onto the cutting board, and using the paintbrush, lightly dust the small bow mold. This helps keep the fondant from sticking to the mold.
- Pinch off about 1 ½ tsp of red fondant and push it into the bow mold.
- Allow it to set for 5 mins before carefully removing it from the mold.
- Place onto the cutting board and continue making 11 more bows.
- Allow the bows to sit overnight.
- Dust the cutting board again with a little bit of powdered sugar.
- Knead the black fondant until it is soft and easy to roll out.
- Once you roll the fondant out to ¼ in thickness and using the circle fondant cutter, cut out 24 circles and place them aside to sit out overnight.
Bake Red Velvet Mini Cakes:
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a mini bundt pan with pam baking spray and set aside.
- Using a standing mixer or hand mixer, beat together all cake ingredients until combined.
- Fill the bundt cavities ¾ way and bake in the oven for 21 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove and place onto the counter and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Add Melted Chocolate and Sprinkles:
- Using a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate melting wafers in 45-second increments, mixing after every 45 seconds.
- Spoon the white chocolate into the piping bag.
- Place the bundt cake onto a wire rack over a cookie sheet.
- Cut the piping bag with the white chocolate and pipe over the bundt cakes.
- Sprinkle Christmas sprinkles over the white chocolate.
- Allow to harden slightly.
Make Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Using a standing mixer, beat all ingredients until combined and smooth.
- Scoop into the piping bag and pipe a dollop into the center of the bundt cakes.
Assemble Minnie Red Velvet Bundt Cakes:
- Place two black circles on the side for the ears and a red bow in the center of the frosting.
Enjoy!
