Maleficent Cupcakes for your next Disney Party
Maleficent has always been one of my favorite Disney Villains. She’s such a bad girl but I have to admit that I loved it when she ended up good in the movie. I’m really looking forward to taking my girls to see Maleficent Two.
I really want to take them to the next Disney Villains after Hours Event.
Are you celebrating the movie too? Or maybe you are hosting a fun party? I have the perfect Maleficent cupcakes for you! These Maleficent cupcakes for your next Disney Party are PERFECT! Even great for Halloween!
Honestly, I’ll make any excuse for cupcakes and throw in Disney – yep, I’m in.
