How To Make Cake Sticks

Vanilla Cake on a Stick is a delicious moist cake with a simple chocolate glaze and lightly decorated. Tired of Cake Pops then this is the cake recipe for you. No fork or plate needed!

Since we will probably be in the house for a while, there are going to be birthdays to celebrate, so I thought why not a Cake on a Stick? Easier than cake pops and cuter than cupcakes.

Vanilla

I have been making homemade birthday cakes for my kids for years now, even as they got older, they would choose their cake and I would give it my best to make it as accurate as possible. From Vanessa’s Vanilla Cake with Mascarpone Frosting to an Easy Ice Cream Cake.

Erika’s favourite Baci Chocolate Birthday Cake. And of course I couldn’t forget to make the Italian’s Tiramisu Layer Cake or my Birthday Cake!

When my kids were little, Cake on a Stick was very popular in Italy. Perfect for when you have a group of kids and the idea of more dishes and cutlery are not something to look forward to.

In a medium bowl on medium speed beat together the milk, oil, sugar, flour and eggs, then add the baking powder and vanilla, beat until smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake. Let the cake cool in the pan then remove and place on a wire rack until completely cool.

Cut the cake into 8 equal slices (triangles). Then cut a small slit in each triangle with a sharp knife, then push a popsicle stick gently into each slit.

Place the cake on the rack over a cookie sheet, pour the frosting or ganache over each slice. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set the frosting.

How To Keep Cakes From Sticking To Pan

This Italian cake is firmer than most and it is exactly what you need for a cake on a stick. I like to use a ganache type frosting for this cake, a creamy buttermilk or cream cheese frosting seems a bit much, although using it to decorate around the outside of cake would be very cute.

For my kids I would usually use a Hazelnut Cream (Nutella), which I thinned out to make it extra pourable. You can do that with either the microwave or bain marie.

Another idea is to use a simple chocolate ganache or heat up a can of store-bought frosting the same way as the Nutella. I don’t usually promote canned frostings, but in this case it works really well.

You could finish the decorating with chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, sprinkles, whipped cream and even a drizzle of caramel. The choice is yours or let your kids decide.

I made this cake after a few years, and they let me know how much they still loved this Vanilla Cake on a Stick and how fun it was to eat it again. And right about now I think we all need something sweet to enjoy. Stay safe! Enjoy!

I’ve made Oreo truffles multiple times, which are somewhat similar to cake pops. Somewhat. They’re essentially the cookie version of cake pops. Basically dessert cousins. I figured, how hard could it be?

Now, I know mine aren’t 100% true cake pops– they’re basically cake balls with sticks in them, but people can still carry them around like cake pops. I mean, who wants messy hands? Anyway, I’ll tell you at the end of the post how to make them into legit cake pops with the cake portion at the top and the stick coming out the bottom.

Prepare a boxed cake mix as directed on the box. Let the cake cool completely. Wash your hands. Next, crumble the cake into fine crumbs with your hands in a large bowl. Mix in about 1/3 cup of icing (I used store bought milk chocolate) with your hands. The mixture should be dense but not gooey. Gooey cake balls gross me out. Grab a cookie scoop (I used my 1.5 T scoop, which I LOVE). (Remember, everyone needs a cookie scoop, or 3.) Then, scoop out the mixture, packing the cake mixture into the scoop as you scoop it (I smushed the open side of the cookie scoop against the inside of the bowl). Smush the mixture in your hand to pack it tightly into a ball. Roll it into a nicely shaped ball. Roll the remaining mixture into balls (my cake mix made 18 balls).

How To Make Cake Pops (easy And Fool Proof)

Grab your Candy Melts (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric) and a small microwaveable dish (I used a small oatmeal bowl). Put about 5 morsels into the bowl and melt them in the microwave. Next, grab your cake pop sticks (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric). Dip your stick into the melted Candy Melt and quickly stick it into a cake pop at least half way down. Repeat with remaining cake pops. Then, set pops on a cookie tray. Freeze for about 15 minutes (they wouldn’t fit in my freezer so I put them in the fridge for 30 minutes– worked fine). Put your Candy Melts into a microwaveable mug (I filled mine to the top). Next, melt the Candy Melts as directed on the package. Dip the cake pop into the mug, evenly coating it. Let the coating drip off. Place the pop on cookie sheet. Finally, if using sprinkles, add immediately before coating sets. Repeat for remaining pops.

These may seem like a lot a work, but trust me, once you have it all mapped out it’s a breeze. I spent maybe an hour on these (not including baking and cooling times).

Cakesicles

If you want your cake pops to be true cake pops, rather than cake balls with sticks in them, instead of putting them on a cookie sheet to dry, insert the stick into Styrofoam for the coating to set. I wanted mine to sit on the platter but still be pops, so that’s why I went the route I did.

FYI, the Candy Melt coating is really good. I used chocolate cake and you barely tell there’s dark cake underneath the coating. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

Note: Candy Melts come in a wide array of colors. But if you don’t spot a color you need, you can use gel food coloring. Do not use food coloring drops.

How To Make Cake Pops The Easiest Way Ever

Growing up I have always loved eating cake. When I discovered cake pops I was in heaven, they are so good. So naturally the idea of a cakesicle intrigued me. I mean how can you go wrong with cake mixed with frosting covered in chocolate? You can’t!

Cakesicles are really easy to make at home, time to impress your friends and family with these delicious treats. In this recipe, I will show you a couple of different methods that you can use to make cakesicles. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!

To begin you will need to bake a cake. If you like you can use any number of homemade cake recipes or of course you can use a box cake as well, it is totally up to you. Once the cake is baked allow it to cool completely.

Now it is time to break up that cake! There are a few ways you can do that. Place the cake in a bowl and crumble it up with your hands. Wear gloves if you like, especially if you are going to sell them or give them away. I don’t always wear gloves if I am making them for myself, and my hands are always clean.

Another option is to put the cake into a plastic bag and mash it up with your hands. Then pour the crumbs into a bowl. Either way works great!

Now add two heaping tablespoons of frosting, you may need a little bit more, to the cake crumbs and then mix and knead that frosting and crumbs together until well combined and it forms a play dough consistency. When you squeeze it together it should hold its shape well.
