Forky Cupcakes are the perfect dessert for a Toy Story 4 birthday party! They’re so easy and a great way to bring that funny little spork to the party.

I saw Toy Story 4 with my whole family and it was one of my favorite activities we’ve ever done together. (We’re headed to Disneyland with them next year, which I’m sure will be another favorite activity we do together! Can’t wait to check out that new Inside Out ride.) I threw Brycen a Toy Story 3 birthday party back when it first came out and I’m hoping Dylan asks for a Toy Story 4 party when he has a birthday this fall.

Forky Cupcakes - A Toy Story 4 recipe that the kids will love at a birthday party!

As soon as Forky came hobbling out of Bonnie’s backpack in the new movie, we all fell in love with him. I knew I had to make a dessert dedicated to him and his quirkiness as soon as possible! The kids even made their own Forky at a family reunion this summer. We can’t get enough of the little guy! I didn’t want the tutorial to be complicated so I bought the sporks, googly eyes, hot glue gun, blue marker, and pipe cleaners on Amazon. The marker, sprinkles, cupcake liners, frosting, and ingredients for the cupcakes came from Walmart. (There are also these cupcake liners on Amazon!)

Forky Cupcakes - This Toy Story 4 recipe is the perfect dessert for a party! So easy and fun!

How do you make Forky?

To make a full Forky from head to popsicle stick toes, click here! See below for the version used in these cupcakes.

Where can I buy supplies to make Forky?

Amazon and Walmart! You can also buy them at craft stores, but it was really easy and inexpensive to get everything on Amazon.

How do the Forkies stay in the cupcakes?

Simply insert the end of each Forky into the cupcakes and they will stay right where you need them. Nothing else needed to hold them there!

How many Forky Cupcakes can I make with this recipe?

You can get 24 Forky Cupcakes with this recipe. The supplies for the Forkies will make well over 100 Forkies.

What is the best pan for baking cupcakes?

USA Pan is my favorite pan for cupcakes and muffins. The bakes are always even and the pan doesn’t take a beating after each use. And it’s affordable!

What is the best frosting tip to use for cupcakes?

My favorite frosting tip is the 1M star tip from Wilton. I use it for almost all of my cupcakes! I also use 16-inch Wilton disposable frosting bags.

 

How to make Forky

Everything you need to make Forky for Forky Cupcakes!

Begin by gathering the supplies to make Forky: sporks, red pipe cleaners, googly eyes of different sizes, a hot glue gun, and a blue Sharpie.

Step 1 in making Forky for Forky Cupcakes

Cut one inch off the end of the pipe cleaner and set aside.

Use a hot glue gun to glue the small piece (the eyebrow) onto a spork right below the prongs.

Step 3 in making Forky for Forky Cupcakes

Glue eyes onto the spork below the eyebrow. You will need two different sizes with the larger eye on the left. (This is where the multipack of googly eyes comes in handy!) Then use the blue sharpie to draw on a mouth.

Step 4 in making Forky for Forky Cupcakes

Take the rest of the pipe cleaner and wrap around the handle of the spork to create arms.

Step 5 in making Forky for Forky Cupcakes

Bend the ends of each arm to create fingers and hands. The beauty of these little guys is that you cant mess them up! Isn’t he cute?

Forky Cupcakes are a craft and dessert all in one! Perfect for a Toy Story 4 birthday party.

After making one Forky, you’ll find that the process to make the rest goes really fast. I love that none of the Forkies look the same.

Every birthday party needs a dessert! These Forky Cupcakes are just the right treat for a Toy Story 4 party. So cute, fun, and easy!

These cupcakes are just so much fun to make. I love the simplicity of the bright colors and a Forky placed in the center.

Forky is a new character introduced in the Toy Story 4 movie and such a likable little guy! He also makes a great cupcake.
