I don’t know who was more excited about the release of Big Hero 6 on DVD, me or the kids. It’s rare that you come across a kids’ movie that both the kids and parents enjoy. Big Hero 6 was definitely one of them! All of us fell in the love with the characters and couldn’t wait for it come out on DVD.
To celebrate the release, I ran (no, I’m serious, I did) to Target to grab it on Tuesday when it came out. Let me tell you, I wasn’t the only there nice and early to snag their copy.
Since we all love the movie so much, I couldn’t let the DVD release go buy without a little fan fare. Since it was a weeknight, I needed something for after dinner. The boys always like having a dessert after dinner so that made the decision pretty easy for me. Baymax cupcakes it is!
I wanted to try my hand at making my own cake mix…from scratch. I have been phasing out box mixes in other areas (like brownies and pancakes) and cake mix was next on my list. I decided to start off with an easy and simple white cake mix.
Big Hero 6 Baymax Cupcakes
For this white cake mix you will need, 2 1/4 cups cake flour, 1 cup milk, 6 large eggs white, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter.
Start by mixing the milk, egg whites, and vanilla together in a medium bowl until blended. Set aside.
Next, mix together your cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and add to the bowl.
Mix well with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until the butter is combined. Add the milk mixture and beat for another 2 minutes on medium speed.
Pour your batter into greased or lined cupcake pan. Bake at 350 degress for 15-20 minutes.
While your cupcakes are baking, it’s time to make your Baymax cupcake toppers. Simply use black gel icing to pipe to dots and a line onto a jumbo marshmallow!
When your cupcakes are cooled, ice with white icing and top with a Baymax cupcake topper.
The boys went absolutely nuts over these cupcakes! They were the perfect way to have a Big Hero 6 Movie Night.
Do you do anything special for a family movie night?

Since we’ve had so much snow up here in New York lately, movie nights have involved a fire and a bunch of warm blankets. I’m thinking these cupcakes might need to make an appearance at our Big Hero 6 movie night this weekend, though! #client
These are so cute! My daughter is a huge Big Hero 6 fan! I can’t wait to try these with her.

We took 4 of our grandchildren to the movies to see Big Hero 6 and loved every thin second of that movie! They would love a movie night party like this because their Mom did buy the movie when it came out! Love those cupcakes!
