mice pops for Walt's birthday


Walt and I share something in common...we were both born on December 5!  Walt has a good 81 years on me so Happy 111th Birthday to you, Walt! and Happy 30th to Me! :)

Cake pops cake pops, Mickey Mouse cake pops! and Minnie too!  For this special occasion I made chocolate cake pops with a hint of spices.  I double dipped the balls first in melted chocolate, cooled them, then dipped them again half way to 'dress' these critters in their trousers or skirts.  Sprinkles made for buttons and polka dots.  I wasn't sure what I was going to use for ears until I found Hershey's chocolate drops in the candy aisle; how perfect!  For Minnie's bow I rolled teeny pieces of strawberry starburst to create the ball center and then I used two heart shaped sprinkles on either side.

And what better way to share these mice then with my friends and co-workers at the Walt Disney Family Museum :)


Happy cake-popping to you!
