Instructions
Creating Mickey Snowman Cake Pops is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to make your own:
1. Bake the Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake in a 9×13 inch pan. Allow it to cool completely.
2. Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
3. Mix with Frosting: Add the chocolate frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix until fully combined, creating a dough-like consistency.
4. Shape the Cake Pops: Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. For the snowman shape, make one larger ball (the body) and one smaller ball (the head).
5. Chill the Cake Pops: Place the shaped cake pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Melt the Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
7. Insert Lollipop Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted candy, then insert it into the larger cake pop ball. This helps secure the stick.
8. Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted white candy melts, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess coating to drip off.
9. Add the Snowman Head: While the coating is still wet, attach the smaller cake pop ball (the head) on top of the larger ball (the body). Let it set for a few minutes.
10. Decorate the Snowman: Use melted black candy melts or chocolate chips for the eyes, and pipe a small orange nose using melted orange candy melts. Add sprinkles or edible glitter for extra decoration.
11. Dry the Cake Pops: Place the finished cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to dry completely.
12. Serve: Once fully set, your Mickey Snowman Cake Pops are ready to be enjoyed!
