Easy Mickey Mouse Pizza

It’s my daughter’s 11th birthday. How does that happen? I swear the years flew by (I know we all say that!) Since our family unit has increased, going out to restaurants for a child’s birthday isn’t a pleasant experience. Thus, I try to find creative ways I can celebrate her (and all my kids’ birthdays) at home with a special dinner.

Kids’ Baking Championship has turned my kids into gourmet chefs. Okay, maybe everything isn’t gourmet, but food crafts are all the rage in our home. The kids love to get in there and “design” their food. This recipe allows for that! Have fun with the kids making this Easy Mickey Mouse Pizza. Whether preparing for a Disney Trip or just needing an excuse for a cute dinner idea.

This recipe goes well with our Copycat Disney Recipes. The majority of these recipes are found in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, but some are just tried and true mickey shaped and Disney themed recipes.

Ingredients:

Pizza dough, homemade or store-bought refrigerated
Pizza sauce, homemade or store-bought (see our Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe)
Mozzarella cheese, about 3 cups
Pepperoni
Mini Pepperoni

Easy Buttery Popcorn Cupcakes – Creamy, sweet and topped with popcorn shaped marshmallows, this dessert is the perfect addition to a movie party, circus themed party, backyard movie night or family game night.

Popcorn Cupcakes

You know what has been my most favorite things about the kids growing up. They now can get in the kitchen and bake… and guess what?! They love it! I do too. Last week my daughter made lime sugar cookies with a lime butter cream frosting. This was using ingredients we had in the house too! So lately, I have been pinning more than just dinner recipes. I have been pinning baking recipes I want them to bake instead of me.

I wanted them to make these Popcorn Cupcakes for our Family Game Night. I also thought they would go perfect with a Backyard Movie Night, as well. But honestly, the possibilities are endless. Bake for an Oscar Night Movie Party, Circus Themed Party, or even a Girls Sleepover!

Enjoy!

See these cupcakes in our Backyard Movie Ideas for the Outdoors and our Family Game Night Snack Ideas.

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
