One of the most nostalgic drinks to me is the Disneyland Mint Julep Cocktail. Disneyland celebrates its 67th birthday on July 17th. “To all who come to this happy place: welcome.” – Walt Disney, On July 17th, 1955 at the opening dedication of Disneyland Anaheim, California — Disneyland, the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. Walt Disney’s metropolis of nostalgia, fantasy and futurism. The $17 million theme park was built on 160 acres of former orange groves in Anaheim, California, and soon brought in staggering profits. This year Disneyland celebrates it’s 67th Anniversary, so what better way to celebrate than with one of these refreshing cocktails!

Cut the silicone molds so that each sphere mold is by itself as shown here. I did this because I felt it was easier to control the mold when working with the melted chocolate.
Use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and wipe the inside of the silicone molds. This will allow your chocolate mold to have a shiny coat on it.
Remove about 16-20 size matching pieces of the melting wafers and set aside.

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

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
