Mickey Mouse Cake Pops


Oh Bakerella, you make everything look SO easy! My version of mickey mouse cake pops turned out ok...but boy were they hard to make!

I wish I found black candy melts in the store but i didnt. You can bet I will be stocking up around Halloween though! =) Anyhow, my awesome dad picked up some black candy coloring for me at the cake store so I could test these puppies out. This weekend (well, now actually because its 1:30am!) we're headed to one of my favorite places ever, Disneyland! YAY! We are going down to SoCal to celebrate my nieces birthday and celebrate a wedding with friends.

Anyhow, back to the pops. When I began coloring the melted chocolate, it started to thicken sooooo much. I had to add a whole lotta thinner to help it out and even then it was still really thick...it took soooo long to get it semi-right. So that is why I plan on stocking up on black candy melts around halloween hehe. The result was they didnt have a smooth nice finish like I'm used to ;p

Here they are! I made some minnie mouse by adding a chocolate bow =)

Another view, I <3 instagram because it makes my pics look so cool!



And lastly, here is a picture of the two very special pops I made for our friends. A mickey and minnie mouse bride and groom! I hope they like them! =)

Anyhow, its about that time...we're off to Socal! Yay!

Thanks for reading =)

  1. Hi Treen, I made Mickey & Minnie pops too and had experienced the same thickness after adding the black candy oils. I was told to use dark cocoa (but milk chocolate tastes better) and then add black candy oil. That way the dark cocoa is already dark and just a little black candy oil won't seize the chocolate. Loving your blog! My sister sent me your URL. Great job!
