• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup strawberry jello mix (for Pikachu)
• 1/2 cup chocolate jello mix (for Charmander)
• 1/2 cup blue jello mix (for Squirtle)
• 1 container (16 oz) white frosting
• 1 bag (10 oz) yellow candy melts (for Pikachu)
• 1 bag (10 oz) orange candy melts (for Charmander)
• 1 bag (10 oz) blue candy melts (for Squirtle)
• Lollipop sticks
• Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)

Preparation Time:

• 1 hour

Cooking Time:

• 15-20 minutes

Difficulty Level:

• 3/5 (Moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Prepare the cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, eggs, and milk. Beat until well combined.
2. Poke holes: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
3. Make the jello: Prepare the jello mixes according to the package instructions using 1/2 cup of water each. Let cool slightly.
4. Poke and pour jello: Use a fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cooled cake. Slowly pour the strawberry jello over Pikachu's portion, chocolate jello over Charmander's portion, and blue jello over Squirtle's portion. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the jello to set.
5. Frost the cake: Spread the white frosting evenly over the entire cake.
6. Dip candy melts: Melt the candy melts separately according to the package instructions. Dip the lollipop sticks into the melted candy and insert them into the cake.
7. Decorate: Using the yellow candy melts, create Pikachu's ears and tail. Using the orange candy melts, create Charmander's horns and flames. Using the blue candy melts, create Squirtle's shell and glasses. Add sprinkles or edible glitter for additional decoration.

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Allow the cakes to cool completely before poking holes to prevent the jello from seeping out too much.
• If the candy melts are too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin them out.
• Be careful not to overheat the candy melts, as they can burn easily.
• Use edible food markers or toothpicks to add additional details to the Pokémon faces, such as eyes and mouths.
