Hannah's Despicable Me Cake (2013)
This is a Despicable Me cake for our daughter's 9th birthday. She had a disco dance party this year so I tried to make the cake match the theme. Strangely we decided on Despicable Me after seeing #2, but somehow not a single character from the 2nd movie made it into the cake, except for some minion costumes. The basis is that they are having a birthday dance party of their own in Gru's underground lair. Dr. Nefario is the DJ while Gru, the girls and the minions party. The minions of course are doing their own strange things. One is still floating happily on the ceiling. Another is swinging on the happy birthday sign which broke while he was putting it up. There is a conga line on the upper catwalk which somehow caught a working minion in the line carrying a rocket. See test video. There is one swinging around on the large rocket tip. The maid is cleaning up popcorn from another. The birthday balloons are carrying one minion up off the floor while his friend tries to help him. There are two chasing another that has a giant banana (we like the banana short). Another is spinning on the record player. A group is dancing in front of the DJ. There is a magician trying to show his stuff. The disco ball has a minion stuck on it somehow.
