A Mickey Mouse theme is one of the best choices for a 5th birthday celebration. It’s bright, cheerful, and instantly recognisable, loved by both kids and parents alike. Mickey Mouse cupcakes from The Cupcake Factory make the perfect addition to the table, combining red, white, and black colours that match themed balloons, plates, and decorations. Add fun extras like Mickey ears for guests or a matching cake topper to complete the magical Disney look.
Which character cupcakes are trending in 2025?

Mickey Mouse cupcakes stay popular because they mix timeless nostalgia with bright, modern presentation.
Why choose Mickey Mouse cupcakes instead of a full cake?
Mickey Mouse cupcakes are simple to serve, portioned perfectly, and easy for children to handle. Cupcakes also ideal for outdoor parties and school celebrations, where serving slices of cake can be tricky. Plus, their themed design doubles as décor, no extra setup needed.
