My name’s Mater. Tow Mater to be exact. I’m kind of a celebrity. You see, I was in this little movie about cars a few years ago. Yeah… that one.
You may have thought I was a little rusty around the edges. Not so. I’m as sweet as they come.
Especially now that I’m in cupcake form.
Sprinkled with cookie crumbs.
And adorned with candy.
And gum.
Hey that almost rhymes… kinda… maybe… sorta
Hi-tail it on over to Disney’s family.go.com website for the instructions to make this cute tow truck cupcake. Get-R-done.
The link doesn’t direct you to the instructions. Do you have them available anywhere else?
i love tow mater
Very clever!
Your cakes are always lovely! Thanks for sharing this. Another great post that hits the home with me.

O MY THIS IS SUCH A CUTE IDEA MY BROTHER GIGGLED WHEN HE SAW IT
OMG! This is too cute! My husband drives a tow truck, he is so getting these for his birthday! Heck all the guys at the shop will get some!!! lol
These are adorable! My only question is what muffin do you use for the back of the truck? Do you cut off part of the big one or do you use a small one? Thanks to anyone who will help me figure it out!!!
Can’t get the directions from Disney site….coming up as an error. CAN ANYONE help or post??

Dad gum! ;) (one of mater’s favorite sayings!)
I love mater, so cute
Oh those are so cute<33
I LOVE THESE WE OWN TOW TATER THE INSEPRATION FOR TOW MATER IN GALENA KS AND I TRIED THESE FOR A PARTY FOR 67 KIDS AND THEY LOVED THEM NOW EVERY TIME THEY WANT TO BOOK A PARTY THEY ASK FOR THE MATER CUPS
“what did I tell you about eating too many cupcakes?”
“to-not-to”
My mom and I made these for my son’s fourth birthday. They were so cute! We made a few changes: used cake crumbs from the bed of the truck to sprinkle on top instead of crushed cookies and added red M&M’s on the back for tail lights. If we had more time, we were thinking about adding a candy tow in the back. Thanks for showing them on your blog, they were a hit!
I’ve got to make those!
How delightful . Wonderful.
Kisses

Super, super! Good that my little boy don’t see it because he will ask me to do the same, uh! I love all your creation and my family adore the cakeball that i made from your recipe.

ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE GING TO MAKE THEM THIS WEEKEND! SO CUTE!
Awesome! I really want to do something Futurama-inspired for next week’s premier. Unfortunately, I lack the necessary creative insight when it comes to food. Any ideas?
Kelly @ #103:
You can find plain colored M&M’s at those crazy candy stores ( usually in a mall) and also Party City. Good Luck !
I love you so hard for making these. What a great post!
That is so cute!!!

Brilliant! Using items that are easy to find…making them into a masterpiece!
I’m SORRY, Bakerella! I’m giggling uncontrollably…
I just finished reading through my just-arrived copy of Jen Yates’ “Cake Wrecks” book, and this Mater is too close to some of those pictures! I know I will be excoriated by all the other fans of this site, but once you get laughing as hard as I was, EVERYTHING seems funny. (And no, I haven’t had any alcohol.)
I really do love your site.
