Despicable Me Minion Cupcakes with Twinkies

Don't worry: Twinkies should be back on store shelves by July!

With "Despicable Me 2" now in theaters, it's time to break out the sweets and start pinning some fun kids' party treats! These Minion Cupcakes have been circulating on Pinterest for some time, and we love the Smarties for eyes and licorice strands for facial features. 

How would you make them without your beloved Twinkies, though? Don't worry, because NBC News says Twinkies will return to your local grocery store as early as July. With the bankruptcy of Hostess Brands Inc. last November, Twinkies went away, along with several other of our favorite snack cakes. However, the majority of the company's brands were purchased in April and the snack cakes are now back in production.

Get the scoop on these adorable "Despicable Me" minion cupcakes, made by Unhistoric Acts.
