Got Minion fever? The only prescription is more Minions. Here's how to turn them into adorable sweet treats. Because you can.

Let's start with the cake. One thing you need to know about Minions is that they love bananas.

So it makes sense to use a banana cake or yellow cake as your base. If you're building layers, fill them with Banana Cream Frosting.

Next come the signature Minion details. For this cake, they were created using a pliable, sweet dough-like paste called fondant, aka adult Play-Doh, that can be colored, rolled out into sheets, and cut into shapes. "My first attempt at covering a cake with fondant and it worked!" — Christina

This video shows how to make it. It can be pretty sticky at first, but keep working it and it will do your bidding. Like any true Minion would.

This cake from Blahnik Baker uses a combo of regular icing plus fondant for the details.
