Today we’re making easy cakesicles. They are similar to geometric cake hearts or cake pops but made in a popsicle shaped mold. 

These treats are filled with cake, coated with chocolate, and can be decorated in many ways. 

You can see me making this cakesicle in the video down below.

Let’s get started!

Step 1: Where to get the mold:

I ordered the cakesicle mold on Amazon.

The mold came with mini popsicle sticks, two molds, and small treat bags to put the cakesicles in.

When I ran out of the mini sticks it came with, I tried regular-sized popsicle sticks, and they fit perfectly with the mini cakesicle molds.

Step 2: Prepare cake mixture and melting chocolate

I used left-over cupcakes to make the cake crumb mixture and added a tablespoon or two of buttercream to bind them together.

It measured out to one cupcake is equal to one mini cakesicle. 

Next, I melted milk chocolate candy wafers in thirty second intervals until completely melted. 

Step 3: Fill the mold with chocolate

Once my chocolate was cooled, I poured it into the mold about halfway. 

I then used a popsicle stick to push the chocolate up the sides of the mold. 

You can use a paintbrush or butter knife to cover the sides with chocolate. 

To ensure the chocolate sits evenly and to remove any air bubbles, I tapped the mold on the counter a couple of times. 

After tapping the mold, I go around the sides again with chocolate.

Inserting popsicle stick:

At this time, while the sides are still wet, put the popsicle stick in about halfway.

Then place the mold in the fridge for a couple minutes to set.

Second layer of chocolate:

Once the first layer is set, add a second layer of chocolate to the sides of the mold.

A second coat will make the sides strong and hold its shape without cracking. I then placed the mold in the fridge to harden. 

TIP: Make sure there is a good amount of chocolate where the mold meets the popsicle stick.

This is just extra protection to keep it from cracking. 

Step 4: Fill the mold with cake

Once the chocolate is set, it’s time to put the cake crumb mixture into the molds. 

Take the cake mixture, roll it into a small ball about a tablespoon and a half, and place it in the mold. Evenly press the cake down into the mold.

Place mold in the fridge to firm up so when the back is covered there aren’t many crumbs. 

Covering the back of the cakesicle:

To cover the back of the cakesicle, take melted chocolate and spread it over the cake making sure there aren’t any holes or gaps. 

Then place the mold in the freezer for a couple minutes to harden. 

Step 5: Remove the cakesicle from the mold

To remove the cakesicle, slowly peel the mold away and carefully push it up and out of the mold.

TIP: If you notice extra chocolate on the sides of the cakesicle, take a knife and carefully cut around the outside edge so it has a cleaner look. 

Step 6: Decorate the cakesicle

How to make a fondant rose: 

To make the rose, I used a rose fondant mold. 

I kneaded a small piece of fondant to make it soft and pliable, then colored it pink. 

I then rolled it into a small ball and pushed it into the mold.  

Since it is a small piece of fondant, it sets quickly and pops right out of the mold.  

How to drizzle chocolate and add sprinkles:

To drizzle chocolate on the cakesicle, place melted chocolate into a piping bag, and cut a small hole at the end of the bag. 

I piped small circles all over the cakesicle and then added red and pink sanding sugar to give it some sparkle. 

When adding sprinkles, make sure to do it quickly because the chocolate will harden, and the sprinkles won’t have anything to stick to.

To add the fondant rose, I put a dab of chocolate on the back of the rose, which acts like glue, and placed it on the cakesicle.
