Create cute fondant "Despicable Me" Minions for your wedding or birthday cake

Looking for unique wedding cake ideas that express your individuality? How about a birthday cake to coincide with one of 2013's soon-to-be biggest hit movies, "Despicable Me 2"? These Minion cake toppers at Cake Central were created with gum paste, and they feature the signature goggles, bright yellow skin and a darling Minion bride with a wedding bouquet. Working with gum paste or fondant is not that different from sculpting with polymer clay, and we love this Despicable Me Minion video how-to. Simply buy pre-colored fondant or dye your own with food coloring to get the right shades of yellow and blue to get started.
