Cakesicles 

Cakesicles are a fun, elegant twist on classic cake pops—perfect for celebrations and parties. Rather than rolling cake into balls, you paint melted chocolate into popsicle molds, fill with a moist cake‑and‑frosting mixture, and seal with more chocolate. This method creates firm, beautifully shaped treats that are easier to handle than traditional cake pops and decorate—without risk of cracking, dripping, or falling off sticks. Perfect for themed designs like unicorns or skulls, cakesicles offer endless creativity with drizzles, sprinkles, or candy melts. They’re eye-catching, tasty, and surprisingly simple to prepare. 

Ingredients

• Cake: one 9×13‑inch baked sheet cake (any flavor), or two 8‑inch round cakes
  
  

• Buttercream or store‑bought frosting (start with ~⅓ cup, more as needed)
  
  

• White, milk, or dark chocolate for coating (tempered chocolate or candy melts)
  
  

• Optional decorations: colored candy melts, sprinkles, drizzles, edible glitter, etc.
  
  

Directions

1. Crumble the cooled cake into a bowl or mixer. Add frosting gradually until mixture reaches a smooth, truffle‑like consistency.
   
   

2. Melt your chocolate or candy melts; if using real chocolate, temper it for a glossy, firm shell.
   
   

3. Paint a thin layer of chocolate inside each cavity of your cakesicle mold (preferably silicone), covering bottom and sides.
   
   

4. Insert a stick briefly into each mold to remove excess chocolate and ensure stick stability. Chill molds until chocolate hardens (~3–5 minutes).
   
   

5. Fill each shell with cake‑filling, leaving at least 1/16″ (≈1.5 mm) at the top for sealing. Press gently to settle.
   
   

6. Spoon more chocolate over the top to seal each cakesicle; scrape level with mold surface, and refrigerate or freeze until fully set.
   
   

7. Once set, carefully unmold. Decorate with drizzles, melted candy melts, or sprinkles while chocolate remains tacky.
