White Chocolate Milk Splash
You will need 1 cup of White Chocolate Chips, 2 small 5 inch balloons, two bowls, and a safety pin for the White Chocolate Milk Splash.
Blow up your balloons to about the size you are wanting and place them into a small bowl with tape on the sides to keep them standing upright. Melt ¾ C of your white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Mix in the ¼ C of the white chocolate chips into the melted chocolate. Spoon the melted chocolate onto the top of the balloon into a splashed milk design by covering the top of the balloon and creating drips around the sides to give the splash effect. Carefully place the balloon into the fridge. To allow it to harden. I suggest doing this with two of the balloons in case one breaks.
After you have baked and frosted the cake, Carefully remove the balloon from the fridge and remove from the bowl. Hold the chocolate part in your hand. Using a safety pin, carefully pop the balloon and remove it from the chocolate. Carefully place the chocolate bowl onto the top of the cake. Fill it halfway with Froot Loops.
