We, at OurFamilyWorld love movies, especially cute movies such as Zootopia. That’s why we share the news about them, some quotes from the movies, etc. We also love making cupcakes or drinks inspired by these movies! They are so cute and fun to make (and eat obviously). For the release of the Zootopia movie, I made these easy cupcakes.
For this Zootopia inspired cupcake recipe, I used a muffin base and topped it with cream cheese. You can top it with buttercream too, if you prefer. My kids love cream cheese a lot that’s why I chose it. Kids can help you in the baking and decorating process. I know my daughter loves that and is always eager to bake (and taste the batter). Even when her friends come over for a playdate, they ask for a baking session. I love watching them doing it because they pretend they are contestants at Master Chef, and they compete. It is too funny to watch. Anyways, I made these cupcakes that I topped with some figurines inspired from Zootopia movie. I used a fox figurine.

The great thing about this Zootopia inspired cupcake recipe? It’s actually more like a muffin, which means it’s not quite as sugary for your kids. If you go with the cream cheese icing, you’ll save even more sugar. Want to sweeten the cream cheese a bit? Just whip it with a teaspoon of honey.

That’s so adorable, I love the little animals on top. Zootopia is an awesome movie and this is the perfect snack for the family when you watch it, hopefully, when it finally releases a blu-ray edition. Thanks for the recipe! Love it.
These cupcakes are adorable. I really like the idea of using cinnamon and apples as opposed to a plain chocolate or vanilla cupcake. Great idea.
I have yet to see this movie but maybe when it comes out on blue-ray I’ll make these and have a Zootopia themed night!
Great fun! We love apple cake here so will have to try these. The animals look so cute on top.
