In a large mixing bowl, add the cake and frosting, and mix well until the cake becomes like firm batter. Form batter into 1 ½” balls. Set aside.
Melt the white almond bark in a bowl using a microwave. Heat 30 seconds at a time until fully melted. Add a splash of oil if needed. Add a few drops of red coloring until you reach fire engine red.
Dip the cake pop stick into the melted chocolate about a half inch. Then stick it into the cake ball. Repeat for all the Mickey Mouse cake balls.
Dip cake pops into the red chocolate until fully coated. Place upright in a holder or foam base to allow the chocolate to harden.
Before the chocolate hardens, take two melting wafers and stick them in the cake pop to form Mickey’s ears.
Melt the almond bark in a bowl using a microwave. Heat 30 seconds at a time until fully melted or according to package directions. Add a splash of oil if needed.
Dip the hardened cake pops in the melted chocolate covering the Mickey's ear and half of the cake pops. Leaving the red exposed on the bottom.
Melt half a block of white almond bark in a bowl using a microwave. Heat 30 seconds at a time until fully melted. Add a splash of oil if needed. Add a drop of yellow and mix.
Once the cake pops have hardened, dab some yellow chocolate between the red and brown chocolate to form yellow buttons using an unused cake pop stick.
Let the Mickey Mouse cake pops finish hardening and enjoy!
Notes
Melting Almond Bark: When melting the almond bark, make sure you use a microwave-safe bowl, and keep stirring the mixture several times in between until you get a smooth, even mixture.Frosting Flavor Variation: To bring in a bit of flavor variation, I would also recommend using cream cheese frosting instead of regular frosting to make the Mickey Mouse cake pop.Cake Flavor Choices: While you can use almost any flavor of cake to make cake pops, chocolate cake and red velvet cake are hands down, the best choices.Achieving the Perfect Shell: If the candy melting wafers aren't creating that perfect hard shell around the cake ball, you can add a couple of drops of vegetable oil into them and give it a good mix before you dip the cake balls in it.Uniform Surface Preparation: Remember to tap the Mickey Mouse cake pops lightly and remove the excess chocolate to get a uniform, clean surface to work with and add all the details on.Protecting the Work Surface: To keep the chocolate from getting on the surface of your countertop, spread parchment paper on your cookie sheet or working area.
