Mickey Mouse Cakepops! Learn How To Make Mickey Cake pops - A Cupcake Addiction Tutorial
English (United Kingdom) English (United Kingdom) Hello and welcome to Cupcake Addiction's MickeyMouse Cakepop where I'll be showing you how to make this great Mickey Mouse cakepop, theperfect accompaniment to our Minnie Mouse cakepop and sure to please the Mickey andMinnie Mouse fans in your family. Tools and equipment that we will be usingtoday: I've got a cakepop ball. Now I've got thatpre-rolled. We do have a great recipe and tutorial for getting your cakepops to thisconsistency ready to decorate on our channel so I will leave a link to that in the descriptionbox below. I will also mention, this has been refrigerated for at least to minutesfrom being made so it's quite firm to touch. I've got 2 teaspoons.I've got a toothpick or cocktail stick. I've got a couple of lollipop sticks and justa knife. I've got some melted red candy melts, somemelted black candy melts, a little bit of melted white chocolate.And some mini Oreo cookies. Let's get started.The first thing we want to do is we want to stick those mini Oreo cookies into our MickeyMouse head. So I'm going to just slice the Oreo in half. You can twist it if you like.I just like to slice it because I get less breakages that way. And just scrape off anyexcess Oreo cream. You can pop that down there for later.And then take your knife and just make a bit of an operation here. Make a small incisioninto Mickey's head on either side so that you know where you're going to place yourOreos. Now we want to take those Oreos. You want the very flat side of your Oreo so notthe one with the logo on it. You want the flat side to be what faces forward. It'llgive you that lovely Mickey ear shape. Press it in to the cakepop ball where you've putthose not quite meeting up in the middle, so almostmeeting up in the middle but with a little gap.Now I' going to take those out again and I'm just going to dip them into the black candymelt, just a little bit of black candy melt on the bottom there and slide it back in.That candy melt is going to attach those lovely Mickey Mouse ears to our cakepop ball so thatthey are nice and firm and they don't fall out. Pop those ones into the refrigeratorfor a couple of minutes just until that chocolate that's holding those ears in is completelyset. And then we'll get back and continue decorating.Back from the fridge and I'm happy that my chocolate seal is nice and set. So rememberingthat the front of your Mickey Mouse head is going to be the flat side where your Oreocream was. I want to dip the bottom of the Mickey headso I'm going to take my candy melts. Give them a good stir. Always give them a goodstir just before you dip, even if you're dipping multiples because I find candy melts...It'sreally quite hard to get them to stay in a lovely fluid consistency like you can withwhite chocolate. I've added quite a lot of Copha which is vegetable shortening here.It's a clear vegetable shortening. You can also add Crisco if you're in the US. Otherwise,just have a look in your supermarket for a Copha or vegetable shortening alternative.And I've added quite a lot there to get it to that consistency. I didn't measure it out.I normally do about grams per grams of candy melt. But really it's just to getit to the consistency that you're happy with. Alright, now to dip our Mickey Mouse head.Because those ears are going to be so nicely firmly in place, you can actually hold himby the ear and just dip him in. Give it a good tap on the bench so that your candy meltis really leveled because you want to try and get a nice leveled dip. So just dip itin about halfway down and pull him out. Working quite quickly here, take your lollipop stick,dip it a centimeter in to the candy melt and push it up into the middle of your Mickeycakepop. And just tap off any excess. Don't tap too hard because we haven't giventhat chocolate seal as much time to set as we normally would after you've popped thelollipop stick in. So just tap it quite gently and just make sure you get off the bulk ofany excess. We'll sit that aside in our polystyrene block where it can completely dry before wemove on to black. Now that that red is completely dry, we'regoing to switch over for the black. As I mentioned, it's always a great idea to give that a nicestir. Make sure that it's nice and fluid before we dip. And take our Mickey Mouse.And you want to dip him in. You're going to dip him just to meet just over that red line.So I'm going to dip his ears and, I guess, just over halfway. Pull him out. Now I liketo tap that off this way and then to the sides. So by tapping it this way, you're actuallyforcing that chocolate down in between those ears and you're really giving them nice definition.Now I do have the cocktail stick. I did find with some of my earlier ones of these, underneaththe ear, just didn't quite get enough of the black candy melts on it. So if that happens,just dip your cocktail stick in a little bit of that candy melt. This one's turned outfine. A little bit of that candy melt and just neaten up under the ears before it dries.And if you do make a bit of a mistake where you don't have a really nice neat line there,you can just drag your finger across the front and you'll be able to neaten up that line.If you've got any, I guess, if it's a little bit uneven.So finally for Mickey Mouse, we're going to take that spare lollipop stick and we're justgoing to give him the So giving that white chocolate a little bitof a stir. And we're just going to make sort of [long] overly looking white chocolatedots.
