Cakesicle Filling Ideas/Cakesicle Flavors: You can use any flavor of cake mix such as birthday cakesicles, pink cakesicles, strawberry cake popsicles, white cakesicles, pastel cakesicles, red velvet cake popsicle, lemon cakesicles, vanilla cakesicles, chocolate cakesicles and carrot cake cakesicles. You can also make brownie cakesicles.
Candy Melts or Chocolate Chips: I recommend using candy melts for this recipe if possible. They tend to melt the most easily, especially for beginning bakers. Alternatively, I like Kroger (Fry’s Food) Private Selection White Chocolate Chips. The main ingredient is cocoa butter so they are higher quality and melted really well in the microwave. You can also use the white chocolate chips to make any color with food coloring or food gel.

My name is Aubrey. I am a busy lawyer and momma. While I am passionate about both, I have a place in my heart for great food and want to share it with other food lovers!Learn how to make cake popsicles with this easy cakesicles recipe! This cake on a stick is a great use for leftover cake. You can make chocolate cake popsicles, vanilla, funfetti, or your favorite flavors. Learn to make a cakesicle that doesn’t crack, sweat, or fall off the stick. You’ll also get info on the best cakesicles mold, cake popsicle pricing, and much more.
What's in a cakesicle? This cake popsicles recipe uses a baked 8x8-inch cake (20.3x20.3 cm), buttercream frosting, and candy melts. That’s all you need to make beautiful popsicle cake pops (“fake pops”) that are perfect for parties or even wedding favors.
Though I used boxed cake mix, you can use homemade cake from scratch if you’d prefer for this recipe. Using applesauce in place of all of the oil in your recipe stops cake pops from being too greasy or oily. Since you’re mixing frosting into the cake, there will be plenty of fat to keep the cake pop dough from becoming too dry.
Homemade Chocolate Cake Pops
I mixed 1 cup water, ½ cup applesauce, and 3 large eggs into the boxed mix. One regular-sized box of cake mix makes two 8x8-inch cakes, twice what you need for this recipe. You can save half the cake for snacks later.
Cake pops are typically shaped into a small ball and then dipped in chocolate. Cakesicles are formed into a popsicle shape, and the chocolate coating is often brushed on.
In this cakesicles tutorial, I’ll teach you how to make cakesicles with a mold. The advantage of making cakesicles this way is you’ll get a smooth and shiny coating with no hand dipping. Additionally, your cake lollies are less likely to fall off the stick when you make them this way.
Homemade Cake Pops
I prefer using candy melts for making cake popsicles. Chocolate candy melts (AKA almond bark or confectionary coating) form a smooth coat on cake pops that is less likely to crack. Best of all, there is no need to temper it, as you have to do with regular chocolate.
You can find Wilton’s Candy Melts in the craft section at Walmart, or online. You can usually find almond bark in the baking aisle of grocery stores. For this recipe, you need 3 cups of candy melts for the coating, plus more for decorating.
I used white candy melts, and then colored them in different ways for decorating. You could also use colored candy melts for holidays. Here are some ideas:
How To Make Best Cake Pops Recipe For Lazy People
To melt candy melts, put ½ cup room temperature melts (or small almond bark pieces) at a time in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for one minute. Then stir, and continue to microwave at 50% power in 30 second intervals until melted.
Make sure to stir the melts each time you check on them. To prevent burning, stop microwaving the candy melts slightly before they’re fully melted. After stirring, they should become completely smooth and ready to use.
Don’t melt the candy melts until you’re ready to use them. Once they’re melted, they’ll harden again quickly and you need to work fast.
Birthday Cake Pops Recipe — Bite Me More
Though candy melts form a perfectly thin and smooth shell on cake pops, I find real chocolate rich in cocoa butter has the best flavor. To get the best of both worlds, you could use candy melts for the cake pop coating, and real chocolate for decorating. The disadvantage of using real chocolate for cake popsicles is that it must be tempered.
Tempered chocolate is stabilized with a specific heating and cooling process. Tempering makes the chocolate glossy instead of streaky, perfect for cake pop coatings. Candy melts and chocolate chips have stabilizers added, and simply need melting rather than tempering.
According to Ghirardelli, to temper chocolate, you need to heat it in a double boiler to 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit (43-46C). Cool the chocolate to 95-100F (35-38C), stirring until fully melted. These precise temperatures require a candy thermometer.
Pink Cake Pops
I recommend adding ½ teaspoon coconut oil per ½ cup of chocolate or chocolate chips you use. This helps thin out the chocolate for a thin cake pop coating, without seizing the chocolate. Your chocolate may seize, or separate, from adding water or from overheating.
I’ve had good results tempering chocolate in a microwave, and
