• Slide your push pop containers all the way up and place one of the cake rounds on the slider.
• Pull the slider down to the lowest position, add a bit of icing, then repeat with more cake and icing (alternating colors) until the tube is filled. Place lid on.

• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Fill muffin cups half full with batter. (Cover and refrigerate remaining batter until ready to bake; cool pan before reusing and spray again with cooking spray.)
• Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks; cool completely, about 15 minutes. (Repeat with remaining batter to make about 48 additional mini cupcakes. Freeze cupcakes for another use.)
• Spoon frosting into decorating bag (fitted with desired tip) or resealable food-storage plastic bag (with small corner cut off). To assemble, drop 1 cupcake into each push-up pop container; pipe desired amount of frosting on cupcake. Top each with second cupcake; pipe with frosting. Garnish with strawberry and mint sprig.

Steps:

• Make chocolate cake.

• Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
• Mix in the vanilla.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well.
• Pour in the dry ingredients and gently beat until combined.
• Fold in the cooled cocoa until the color of the mixture is even.
• Pour into the tin and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
• Once baked, leave to cool in the tin for 20 minutes.
• Turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

• Roll each cake ball into a log shape with your hands.
• Use a lollipop stick to make an indentation in the top center and bottom center of each "log.".
• Squeeze and pinch the center of the "log" to shape the middle of the moustache. Now squeeze and pinch the ends, curling each one upwards to create a handlebar moustache shape.
• Melt the candy.
• Dip the end of each lollipop stick 3/4 inch into the candy and insert a stick into the center of each moustache.
• Leave to set.
• Dip each pop into the candy, dipping from left to right to get an even coating.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed until moistened; beat 2 minutes on high speed until well blended. Divide batter into 2 bowls. Tint 1 bowl of batter with a few drops red food color; tint other bowl with blue food color.
• Fill 18 muffin cups 2/3 full with red batter. Bake about 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Repeat with blue batter to make an additional 18 mini cupcakes. Cool completely.
• To assemble push-up cakes, drop 1 mini cupcake into each push-up pop container. Add generous teaspoon frosting to top of each cupcake. Top each with second mini cupcake; add dollops of frosting to tops of each. Sprinkle each of popping rock candy. Serve.

Steps:

• Place cake in food processor until it has been reduced to fine crumbs (this can also be done by hand).
• Add enough frosting to form a "dough". Be careful not to add too much!
• Roll the dough into 1 - 1.5 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
• Melt the candy melts according to the instructions.
• Dip a lollipop stick in melted candy melt, then stick about half way into a cake ball. Repeat with the rest of the cake balls and sticks.
• Chill cake balls for 30 - 60 minutes. This helps the candy melts to harden, lessening the chances of the cake pop falling off the stick.
• Melt the candy melts again. Dunk one of the cake pops in the melted candy melts and swirl until coated. Dip in sprinkles if desired. Place upright in a piece of styrofoam.
• Repeat with remaining cake pops.
• Wait 30-60 minutes until candy melts have hardened (you can speed up this process by using a fridge).
