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!
