If you have been following the blog, you know that we had a little Monsters University movie night party a few weeks ago. We made lots of fun Monsters U themed treats, but my favorite were the Mike cake pops.

Believe it or not, this was my first time making cake pops, and it was not only a lot of fun but a lot easier than I thought.
You can check out our Monsters University party HERE, where you will find great ideas for snacks and crafts, and you can get the recipe for my tie-dye Sully cupcakes HERE.
My kids had a great time at our little party and truly enjoyed the Monsters University movie.
I know this is one movie they will not get tired of, and I loved that it was also a lot of fun for the adults.
Monsters University Mike Cake Pops
Green cake pops shaped like Mike Wazowski, with candy eyes and gummy horns. A fun treat for a Monsters University party!
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix
- A couple of drops of green food dye
- 2 cups of white frosting, any type you like
- 1 bag of green candy melts
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 12 big candy eyes
- 24 lifesaver gummies
Instructions
Mix the batter for the cake according to the directions on the box.
Add a couple of drops of green food dye and mix until batter is green.
Bake a cake according to directions on the box.
Let cake cool and then crumble it with your hands.
Add 1 to 2 cups of frosting, add a little a time and mix with your hands until you get the right consistency.
Form your cake pop mixture into small balls, about 3-4 tablespoons each. You don't want them to be too big, just so they easily fit in the palm of your hand.
Put cake balls in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or the freezer for half and hour.
While they are in the refrigerator cut green lifesaver gummies into triangles, two for each cake pop.
Melt one bag of green candy melts on the microwave, you can add 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil so that the melted candy is smoother.
Dip a lollipop stick in the melted chocolate and insert the stick 2/3 through a cold cake ball.
Wait until the stick hardens and then dip the cake ball in the melted chocolate.
Allow any excess chocolate to drip off the pop before sticking it in craft foam to cool off.
Before the chocolate sets place an eye at the center of each pop and place two lifesaver triangles on each side of the pops as horns.
Leave cake pops in the foam until chocolate sets completely.
Notes
- For the lollipop sticks, you can get them at most grocery stores in the cooking aisle or at Michaels.
- You'll also need a block of craft foam to stick pops to cool off.

How fun! I would actually love to try and make these with the kiddos sometime. I think they would love them!!!
Those are too cute to eat!
I am really impressed the way you make kiddie stuff. It is always good.
Loving the movie, I am going to attempt this. Pinning it, now.
I just bought all the things to make monster cupcakes, I will use this as a guide along with the other directions I have. Your pictures are easier to follow.
I’ve got a DVD tape movie same as that of the first title, it’s Monster Inc. I wonder how it is related to that Monster University that you guys saw. My 2-year old (well, she was 1+ age that time) was not a happy camper watching at it, she’s scared of that big good monster. But then, that’s her feeling. For me, I love it. I think in the long run or when she’ll grow-up, she’ll love it just like your kids. 🙂
This one is the same characters but when they where younger and it’s a LOT less scary than the first time. Maybe she will like this one. My daughter was also a little bit scared of Monsters Inc.
That look so fun to make and eat!
How adorable. This would make a great after school snack for my son and his friends since they all love Monster U
