Despicable Me cupcakes from polyvore.com are a villainous treat that are so bad, they're good.  The minion characters are recreated in edible form with the use of Twinkies.   The cupcakes are vanilla flavored and topped with a buttercream frosting.  For a more colorful cupcake, add blue food coloring to resemble the minion's work overalls.  Despicable Me cupcakes are the perfect dessert to entertain kids and adults alike.
