Cakesicles are one of my favorite ways to use leftover cake layers and frosting. They look like old-school popsicles but are really chocolate covered little cakes on sticks!
Cakesicles are kind of like a larger cousin of cake pops, except they’re way easier to make. I also think they’re a lot more satisfying to eat.
They’re made by tempering chocolate in a microwave, painting it into a silicone mold and filling it with a mixture of cake and frosting.

Because you’re using a silicone mold, there’s no need to shape or roll the filling like when you make cake pops. The silicone mold and chocolate coating guarantee your cakesicles will have a perfect shape.
The biggest difference when using candy melts instead chocolate is that you don’t need to worry about heating your candy melts a certain way or to a certain temperature.
They’re made with palm oil instead of cocoa butter, so they don’t need to be tempered and will set firmly as they cool no matter what.

All you have to do is melt them at a medium-high heat (power level 7 out of 10) in 15 second intervals, stirring between each trip to the microwave. Repeat until they’re fully melted and you’re good to go!
Another positive about using candy melts is that they’re super white in color. If you want to make bright white cakesicles, white candy melts work great.
I’ve tried a lot of different methods and making them this way is definitely the easiest and best way in my opinion.

Heat for 30 seconds at a medium high-heat (I do a power level 7 out of 10) then remove from the microwave and stir the chocolate.
It won’t be melted much yet, but this helps make sure the chocolate is evenly heated and that certain areas don’t overheat/overcook.
If you’re using chocolate, check the temperature of the chocolate with your food thermometer between intervals and make sure it doesn’t go above 90 F / 32 C.

Repeat until the chocolate is mostly (but not fully melted). Let it sit for a minute, then give the chocolate one more stir to make sure it’s nice and smooth.
Chill the mold in the fridge (or freezer if you’re using candy melts) for about 3 minutes or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
Paint on a second layer of melted chocolate, being sure to add a little extra around the rim of each mold. Reinsert the popsicle stick again and remove.

The extra layer of chocolate will make the cakesicles easier to remove from the silicone mold and help prevent them from breaking or cracking.
Be sure to use good quality chocolate. You can use semi-sweet, milk, dark or white chocolate. Candy melts will work too, but I just don’t think they taste as good!
While you can use any type of chocolate, be sure it’s either couverture chocolate or comes in a bar. If you don’t have time to order some good-quality couverture chocolate online, don’t worry!
Christmas Cakesicles (cake Popsicles)
Most grocery stores carry chocolate bars that are 65% cocoa or more which can be used to make these cakesicles too. Just be sure to double check the package to make sure it contains cocoa butter.
I strongly advise against using chocolate chips because they contain stabilizers that make them harder to melt down and difficult to temper.
The silicone mold I used makes small cakesicles that are about 2.5″ long. However, you can use a larger mold or a different shaped mold if you want!

I like making smaller cakesicles because it’s about the size of 2 cake pops. Larger cake pops seem like too big of a treat to me!
If you use a larger mold the steps will all be the same but you might need to adjust the amount of filling you use.
Tempering chocolate might sound intimidating, but I promise it’s not! Tempering chocolate just means we’re slowly heating and melting it to help it be as strong and shiny as possible.

Tempering your chocolate will allow you to easily pop your cakesicles out of the mold and it gives them a beautifully shiny, finished look.
I am a big fan of drizzling extra melted chocolate or colorful candy melts over my cakesicles. Another fun way to decorate your cakesicles is to add some pretty sprinkles or a dusting of edible glitter.
While you might think all cakesicle molds are similar in size, you’d be surprised! They range from a couple inches in length to up to 4-inches.

My one word of caution about refrigerating or freezing the cakesicles is that they can experience condensation as they thaw to room temperature.
If you do freeze your cakesicles, move them to the fridge the day before you plan to bring them to room temperature.

I almost always have leftover buttercream from other projects, so I usually just use that!! Sadly I don't have a good recommendation for different brands of buttercream, I'm so sorry!
Any type of buttercream can be used to make these cakesicles. This includes, American, Swiss, Italian, or Russian! You need a little buttercream to help bind the cake together and give it the right texture. If you don't want to make frosting you could also use a tablespoon of store-bought frosting. Hope that helps, happy baking!Aren’t these just the sweetest little treats you’ve ever seen? We’ve all heard of cake pops but these are called “Cakesicles”, which really means a cake pop in the shape of a popsicle. However there is a certain classy charm to Cakesicles. Maybe its the molded shape, the shiny surface or that you don’t know if its a popsicle or cake inside until you take a bite. Whatever the appeal is for you I am going to show you how to make your own. Let’s get started!

Crafted in popsicle molds, cakesicles are an easy-to-make version of the ever-popular treat with a chocolate shell surrounding a blend of cake and frosting.
If you have ever struggled to dip a cake pop or had them crack or fall off the stick, you are going to be so happy to discover the cakesicle.
Cakesicles (two Ways)
Unlike a cake pop, which is made by rolling a cake and frosting combo into a ball (or another shape) and then dipping it in chocolate or candy melts, a cakesicle is created by painting the chocolate into a popsicle mold, then filling the hardened candy shell with the cake/frosting mixture.
The candy shell is thick enough that it won't crack but thin enough to bite into. It's also smooth and shiny and perfectly shaped.
Be sure to watch the How to make Cakesicles Video. If it's not shown below it will be either at the top of the post or in the sidebar.
White Chocolate Cakesicles Recipe
In this tutorial, I will show you how to make cakesicles using white chocolate or white candy melts. You can use the technique to create dark or milk chocolate cakesicles too.
You can simply add a drizzle of chocolate or colored candy melts to add a festive touch. Christmas cakesicles drizzled with red and green candy melts or birthday cakesicles topped with rainbow sprinkles make fun desserts, party favors, or gifts.
You'll notice in the recipe and video that I didn't add oil to the cake mix. I wanted to experiment with this, as so many
