How to Make Mickey and Minnie Mouse Cake Pops (Easy & Homemade!)

If you're looking for fun activities to countdown the days til your family's Disney World trip, then eating "Mickey Mouse food" is a great choice.

Even if you're not planning a Disney trip anytime soon ... go ahead and make some Disney treats anyway! It's a great way to spend quality time together and let kids learn some beginner baking skills.

I searched for a bunch of ways to make Mickey (and Minnie!) cake pops, plus a few cake pop alternatives as well. Enjoy!

Mickey Mouse Cake Pops with Marshmallow Ears

These Mickey Mouse cake pops are a copycat version of the ones at Candy Cauldron in Disney Springs. They take some time to make, but a lot of that time is spent letting them chill, not actually working.

Bake a chocolate cake, let it cool, then crumble it with your hands and mix it cream cheese frosting. Spread the mixture in a pan and chill in the fridge.

When chilled, cut out circles with a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Place the circles on parchment paper (these pre-cut parchment sheets are great) on a cookie sheet.

Use marshmallows to make Mickey's ear, then pour melted white chocolate over the heads and ears to cover completely.

Cover the white chocolate with colored sprinkles, then put in the fridge until the chocolate is hardened.

Flip over and repeat with more melted white chocolate and sprinkles. After cooling, insert a cake pop stick.

Ta-Da!

DIY Mickey and Minnie Mouse Cake Pops

These cake pops are a little more artistic, but boy do they look impressive!

After making the actual cake pop, you dip it into melted red candy melts, then use black candy melts for ears.

Using tweezers, place yellow sprinkles where you want Mickey's buttons to be.

You can use a silicone bow mold for Minnie.

Minnie Mouse Cake Pop Tutorial

Here's another visual tutorial of a very similar idea. They used some thinned out white chocolate to make polka dots on the bottom half of the cake pop.

Tip:
Don’t use chocolate bars, chocolate chip morsels, pure chocolate or baker’s chocolate blocks when making cake pops! It won't harden completely like candy coating.

Christmas Mickey and Minnie Mouse Cake Balls

They used 2 Ghirardelli Chocolate wafers with each cake ball for the ears, piping various colors of cookie icing to decorate, and topped them off by placing Wilton holly leaves and sprinkles with a set of tweezers.

Chocolate Dipped Rice Krispie Treats on a Stick

Who doesn't love Rice Krispie Treats? I know my kids do! This is a really easy alternative and sure to please

Make Rice Krispie Treats like you normally would ((here's the standard recipe if you've never done it before of just don't remember), except put them in a 9x9 pan to make them nice and thick like the ones at Disney World. (Or you could always just double batch, which is always a good option.)

Once they're cooled, cut them using a large Mickey Mouse cookie cutter, then insert popsicle sticks in the bottom, using some melted chocolate to help them stick, if necessary.

At this point, they are a perfectly respectable treat ... BUT you can also dress it up by using a piping bag with melted chocolate, then topping with sprinkles.
