Finding Dory Cupcakes

These Finding Dory Cupcakes were inspired by Hank and his crew from the new movie that we know will become a fast favorite for all kids, just like Finding Nemo before it.

These adorable Octopus cupcakes would be perfect for a Finding Dory Birthday, A Finding Nemo Birthday or even just a fun Under the Sea Birthday. It's Ocean creatures at their cutest and tastiest. Finding Dory Cupcakes from SunshineandHurricanes.com

These super cute Finding Dory Cupcakes are so easy to make. You can use our recipe for white chocolate cupcakes with white chocolate frosting  and add some blue food coloring to give the frosting that special under the sea hue. Or even easier is to grab a box of  basic yellow cake mix  and a container of this beautiful sea blue color store bought frosting. (yellow and blue are Dory’s colors)

The gummy octopuses are a bit more difficult to find in stores, but I’ve seen them at Toys R Us. Otherwise, you can just order a pack on Amazon.com right HERE.

We baked the cupcakes using these cute blue camo cupcake liners I found at JoAnn’s, but you can also get some really nice vibrant blue ones from Amazon right HERE.

When we frosted our Finding Dory Cupcakes,  we sprinkled on the white nonpareils to look like little water bubbles and finally topped each one with a gummy octopus.

Whether you are inspired by the new Finding Dory movie or are just planning an under the sea birthday party, these adorable octopus cupcakes would be perfect! Fun and festive they're a sweet treat that is sure to please kids of all ages. Finding Dory Cupcakes from SunshineandHurricanes.com

While we were inspired by the character of Hank the Octopus from the Finding Dory movies, these octopus cupcakes could really be used for lots of different party themes. Perhaps you’re planning an under the sea birthday party, pirate party, mermaid bash or some other seatastic event, these ocean themed treats would work great!

We served ours on a platter using some green shredded paper to look like seaweed; have the kiddos tear the paper or grab some from the gift wrap section at the craft store.

To create a table of sea themed snacks, you could also add our other Finding Dory treats:

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
