Ingredient Notes

Blue Icing

The original Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary version featured bright blue icing. If your cinnamon rolls include white icing, simply tint it with blue food coloring.

How to Make Disney Mickey Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1: Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Place the oven rack in the center position.

Step 2: Make Mickey’s Head

Place one whole cinnamon roll onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

This will become Mickey’s face.

Step 3: Make Mickey’s Ears

Take a second cinnamon roll and carefully unroll it.

Roll each end inward until you create two small spiral rolls.

These become Mickey’s ears.

Pinch each ear securely onto the large cinnamon roll.

Step 4: Bake

Bake according to the package directions, usually 10–12 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are fully cooked and lightly golden.

Step 5: Decorate

Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool slightly.

Spread or drizzle the blue icing over each Mickey cinnamon roll.

Serve warm.

Tips for Perfect Mickey Cinnamon Rolls

  • Pinch the ears firmly onto the head before baking.
  • Leave space between each cinnamon roll while baking.
  • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  • Let the rolls cool for a couple of minutes before icing.
  • Add Disney-themed sprinkles for extra magic.

Fun Variations

Classic White Icing

Skip the blue icing and use the icing included with the cinnamon rolls.

Disney Christmas Version

Decorate with red and green sprinkles.

Birthday Mickey Rolls

Add colorful sprinkles after icing.

Chocolate Mickey Rolls

Drizzle melted chocolate over the icing.

Mickey & Minnie

Add a small red bow made from fondant or candy to create Minnie Mouse.

Storage

Store leftover cinnamon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Reheat for about 10–15 seconds in the microwave before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these with homemade cinnamon rolls?
