How To Make Cakesicles With Mold

Cakesicles are a fun twist on a traditional cake pop. 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.

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.

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 people complain about having oily cake pops.

The cake baked without oil baked up beautifully and was only slightly dryer than a cake baked with oil. Once the frosting was mixed in you couldn't even tell the difference in flavor, but the filling was not greasy at all.

You don't have to dip these so it won't matter if the cake ball filling is soft. That's one of the benefits of this method of making cake balls.

You'll notice in the video below that I only crumbled one cake and added a few tablespoons of frosting. This recipe will make about 48 cakesicles with ½ ounce of filling in each. I didn't need that many, so I used one of my 8-inch round cakes for another purpose. The picture above shows the full amount of frosting and a whole cake.

You can use melted and tempered pure chocolate or melted compound chocolate (confectionery coating). I've shared detailed information regarding the differences between the two on my Chocolate Making Tips page but here's a short recap.

How To Make Cakesicles Or Brownie Cakesicles

You need to heat your confectionery coating so that it registers between 100° and 120° Fahrenheit. If you get it too hot, it will thicken and may burn.

You will need some silicone popsicle molds to make your cakesicles. You can find molds that have popsicle cavities that are 1 ½ - 2 inches wide, 2 ½ - 3 ½ inches long, and ½ - 1 inch deep.

*If using confectionery coating and painting into a larger, 10-cavity silicone popsicle moldjust paint 5 of the cavities, then chill, then repeat with the remaining cavities. If your candy dries at room temperature it may streak.

NOTE: You may see some of the darker chocolate cake through the white chocolate on top, but as long as the candy is at least 1/16 of an inch thick over the top of the filling, the cake filling won't come through. If you scrape, and you actually see cake ball filling sticking through, then cover it again, and just leave it a bit thicker on top.

The shelf life of a cakesicle is 7-10 days if using fresh cake. Count the days based on when your cake was baked. If you use fresh frosting made with butter, you might want to consume them within 3-5 days.

NOTE: Mold will develop on the filling if you keep them longer than that and the problem is that you won't notice the mold until you bite into your cakesicle.

How To Make Easy & Elegant Cakesicles (cake Popsicles)

I know this from experience. Thankfully I cut into, instead of biting into, a 14-day-old cakesicle just to see what it looked like. When I saw the fuzzy white mold, I was so happy I used a knife instead of my teeth. Yuk!

Yes, but be aware that the white chocolate or white confectionery shell will attract moisture from the refrigerator and may become sticky or wet.

To store them in the chill box, wrap each pop well in plastic wrap then place them in zip-top bags. Then place them in a cardboard shipping box before placing them in the refrigerator. The box will wick up most of the moisture.

To thaw the cakesicles, remove the box and remove the zip-top bag. Allow the bag of cakesicles to sit, unopened for at least one hour to allow the cake pops to come to room temperature. This will keep them from cracking due to the temperature change.

There are so many ways to create festive-looking cakesicles and you can watch the video below to see how you can drizzle chocolate or colored candy melts over top. You can even add sprinkles.

I am so excited to show you how to make more elaborate cakesicles. Stop back soon to see more fun cakesicle designs.

Step Five: After five minutes, remove the mold from the freezer and fill it with the cake mixture. Fill each mold to the top and then insert the popsicle sticks into the mold and flatten any areas.

Adjust the cake filling as needed after inserting the popsicle sticks. Be sure to flatten the top of the cake mixture so it’s nice and smooth.

Step Six: Next, paint the over the cake filling with more chocolate while encasing it. Be sure to coat the entirety of the cake crumbles making a solid smooth surface.
