• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup oil
• 3 eggs
• 2 packages of Ghirardelli milk chocolate melting wafers
• chocolate frosting – 1 Container

How To Make Your Disney Cake Balls

First, you will need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Next, following directions on the back of the cake box, prepare cupcakes as directed.

Once baked, place the cupcakes on a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then remove the cupcakes from the pan and cool completely.

Here is when the fun begins.

Have the kids do this part. It’s all about getting the cake broken into really fine crumbs after it’s baked.

Once it is completely cooled, using your hands break apart the cupcakes and roll each piece in between your hands. Make sure that the cupcake breaks down into really fine pieces.

Then add the frosting and mix well. 

Your cupcake mixture should resemble a cookie dough texture.

Next, using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the mixture into your hands and roll it into 1-inch balls.

You are going to want to pair up 2 Ghirardelli Chocolate wafers with each cake ball for the ears. Add a wafer into each corner of the cake balls where the ears would go.

Repeat the steps with the remaining cupcakes and chocolate wafers. Place them onto a cookie sheet fitted with parchment paper.

When done, place it into the freezer overnight. Once you are ready, use a double boiler, and melt the second bag of milk chocolate wafers. When the chocolate is melted, take the cake balls out of the freezer.

Then carefully peel them off the parchment paper.

Dressing up your Disney Cake Balls

Now it is time to dress up your Christmas Mickey and Minnie Cake balls by dipping them in chocolate and adding in some accessories. First, you will want to dip the top half of the cake ball into the chocolate.

Make sure that the ears and the top half of the cake ball get coated. Lightly shake off excess chocolate and place it back onto the cookie sheet Repeat steps with the rest of the cake balls.

Continue the next steps with the directions listed below. Red chocolate is the next step to adding flare. They may seem like a lot of work, but to a true Disney fan, all these steps will be well worth it.

You can even add a stick to the bottom of these adorable balls and turn them into pops.

Other Cake Ball Flavors

All you have to do is replace the chocolate cake mix with a different flavor. Some popular options are red velvet, angel food cake, and confetti cake. The kids will enjoy biting into a funfetti confetti cake ball.

How To Store Your Mickey and Minnie Mouse Cake Balls

The perfect cake ball is rich and moist. Find out how to store cake pops so you can savor every bite! The key to storing it is to make sure they don’t get bumped or crushed. This is the most important step. No one wants a crushed cake ball.

Place your cake balls single layer in an airtight container. Cake pops can be stored in your refrigerator for up to one week or freezer for up to one month.  If your pops are frozen, place them in the refrigerator to soften.
