A week ago the boys and I went to see Finding Dory in theatres. Like I’m sure you did, we loved it! Whether it was laughing at Becky (bird/loon), Hank (the octopus) or Rudder and Fluke (Sea Lions) there are so many memorable moments. Great quotes, wonderful life lessons, unforgettable characters and of course the cutest things of all…the sea otters and Baby Dory!
Since we were talking so much about Dory we made some Finding Dory cupcakes that are easy to make, taste great and perfect for your next party.
With two different Finding Dory cupcake designs to choose from and simple decorating techniques, you can have your little ones help create their very own personal cupcake. Planning an Under the Sea themed party? Dory cupcakes are all about the ocean and sea life. Happy baking!
We created two different options. One that has common bulk food store gummies and the other using pre-made baking supplies. Both are easy to make and are downright adorable!
