Catching Up: Mickey Mouse Cupcakes

For my son's second birthday party the theme was Mickey Mouse.  I had a very intricate design planned for his cupcakes, but, as commonly happens when you have children, the day of the party fell apart and things fell behind.  So, I improvised and made very simple, but still-adored-by-my-2-year-old, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes in the shape of Mickey's head.

I baked the cupcakes as directed and then dipped them in melted icing to get the smooth, shiny look.
