1 silicone cake popsicle mat

1 cookie sheet with a wire rack

18 popsicle sticks

1 disposable piping bag

Cupcake Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners

Using a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, milk, butter and eggs

until combined and smooth

Fill the cupcake liners ¾ way full

Bake in the oven for 21 minutes

Allow to cool completely

Once the cupcakes have cooled, remove them from their cupcake liners
and crumble them into a large mixing bowl

Making the cakesicle cake dough directions :

Once all the cupcakes have been crumbles into moist sand like texture,
scoop in about ¼ – ½ Cup of the chocolate frosting

Using either your hands or a rubber spatula, mix in the frosting into
the crumbs until a dough like mixture forms

Decorating directions

Remove 36 solid round chocolate melting wafers from the bag and set
aside. These will be used to make the ears

Using the remaining chocolate in the wafer bags, pour into a large bowl

Using a microwave, melt the chocolate in 30 second increments, mixing
after each time to ensure smooth melted chocolate

Once the chocolate is melted, spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the melted
chocolate into the cakesicle molds

Move the cakesicle mold around to ensure that the sides are coated in
the chocolate

Carefully push in the popsicle stick into the bottom of the cakesicle mold

Place the mold into the fridge for about 10 minutes

Once the chocolate is set, remove from the fridge

Take about 1-2 tbsp of the cake mixture and carefully press into the
mold, make sure the side of the chocolate does not break

Remelt the chocolate used to coat the cakesicle mold

Once the chocolate is remelted, spoon on about 1-2 tbsp of the
chocolate onto the top of the cake mixture into the mold

Place mold back into the fridge for another 30 minutes

Carefully remove the cakesicle from the mold

Place onto the wire rack

Repeat steps with remaining cake dough

Using the remaining melted chocolate, spoon it into a piping bag

Decorating Mickey and Minnie Directions :

Carefully cut the bottom off of the chocolate rounds that were set aside earlier

You will want the bottom of the chocolate rounds to be flat in order
to stick to the sides of the cakesicle

Cut the tip off the piping bag

Carefully pipe a line of melted chocolate onto the smooth bottom of
the chocolate round

Carefully place the chocolate round onto the side of the cakesicle

Hold it there for about 30 seconds or more to make sure the the round
doesn’t fall

Repeat steps to all of the cakesicles made

Once that is completed, dizzle lines of chocolate onto the cakesicles

Sprinkle some christmas sprinkles onto the chocolate lines

Carefully remove the bows from the cookie sheets and place in the
center of half of the cakesicles

Allow the chocolate to set before enjoying!
