One of my favorite Disney Villains is hitting the big screen again and I can’t wait! Emma Stone stars in Disney’s “Cruella,” an all-new live-action feature film about the rebellious early days of one of cinema’s most notorious – and notoriously fashionable – villains, the legendary Cruella de Vil. I’m celebrating with these marvelous Cruella de Vil Cupcakes.

These Disney cupcakes are the perfect recipe to make for your 101 Dalmatians Disney Party!

About The Movie Cruella

“Cruella,” which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs. She befriends a pair of young thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they are able to build a life for themselves on the London streets.

One day, Estella’s flair for fashion catches the eye of the Baroness von Hellman, a fashion legend who is devastatingly chic and terrifyingly haute, played by two-time Oscar® winner Emma Thompson. But their relationship sets in motion a course of events and revelations that will cause Estella to embrace her wicked side and become the raucous, fashionable and revenge-bent Cruella. Cruella hits theaters on May 28, 2021.

How To Make Cruella de Vil Cupcakes

These Disney cupcakes are really easy to make. I even added a touch of 101 Dalmatians to them by adding “Mickey Ears” decorated with a black Dalmatian spots. You know I love my Mickey Ears.

This recipe is a basic OREO cupcake. I doctored up a box of plain old cake mix to keep with the chocolate theme.

What You Need To Make Cruella de Vil Cupcakes

Cookie sheet with silicone mat

2 inch round fondant cutter

Oreo Cupcakes (Recipe Below)

How To Decorate Cruella de Vil Cupcakes

The Mickey ears are the longest part of this process. I make the a day in advance so the fondant has time to dry completely and get nice and firm.

First, Sprinkle some cornstarch onto the cutting board. Remove the fondant from the package and knead on the cutting board to make the fondant soft and workable.

Sprinkle some more cornstarch onto the cutting board and roll the fondant into ¼ inch thick. Use the round fondant cutter, cut out 36 circles . Place them onto the cookie sheet and allow them to air dry for 3 hours.

Now, use the black edible marker to create the Dalmatian spots on the ears. Allow to dry overnight. 

How To Assemble The Cruella Cupcakes

Fill a piping bag with icing that is fitted with the star tip. Pipe dollops all over the top of the cupcake to create Cruella’s crazy hair.

Using the black cake spray to completely spray the left side of the frosting black.  Allow the cake spray to dry for 30 minutes

Carefully place the ears into the the sides of each cupcake.

Enjoy!
