But their indecipherable babble and staccato tottle and skips were so endearing, they upstaged the stars and will now have their own movie.
Bellooooo Minions!
That's 'Helloooo Minions' for you.
Yes, Minion-ese apparently exists, a language with Spanish, Italian, Korean, Japanese and Filipino influences created by the Despicable Me director.
Yellow fever hit everywhere (I'm guilty of a certain banana-song ringtone!), and these highly excitable creatures with very little self-control were in hot demand - even as desserts.

> Another fidgety creature that can't sit still: Bunnies!
Cupcakes are a great backdrop for the Minions, you could create different personalities for each.

Another little boy was celebrating his birthday with the Minions, and this time I went with some cheeky 2D faces:
 |
| Minion - deconstructed |
 |
| Fun fact: Minions love bananas and apples, and the mere sight of either of these fruits can cause complete chaos. Low maintenance friends, what's not to like? ; |

| The birthday boy in the background, grinning as widely as his minions! |
