Think of cakesicles as a larger version of a cake pop. The latter is a one-bite size piece of cake on a stick. Cakesicles tend to be larger treats and are typically made in fun shapes.
Instead of using a lollipop stick, you’ll use a popsicle stick. And the outside is typically coated in some sort of chocolate coating and decorated with sprinkles.

Even though cakesicles are similar to a cake pop, I prefer making cakesicles. The process is a little more in-depth, but it’s perfect for those times you want more than a tablespoon of cake on a stick.
Strawberry cake – you’ve got a couple of options here. You can use a store-bought strawberry cake, make a cake using a boxed strawberry cake mix or use your favorite homemade recipe. If you’re using a boxed mix, make sure you have the additional ingredients as noted on the box.
If using a boxed mix, prepare the strawberry cake according to the instructions on the box. Once it has finished cooking, allow it to cool before proceeding.

Break up the cake into large chunks and add it to a food processor or blender. Pulse until you have cake crumbs.
Pour in one more tablespoon of water and mix for another 30 seconds. At this point, you should have a cake dough texture.If not, continue mixing in 30 second intervals.
Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second increments.We like to use these silicon melting pots because you can melt the chocolate in the pots and then use them to pour the chocolate into the molds.

Pour the melted candy wafers into the heart shaped molds (about a tablespoon), making sure to spread the chocolate up the sides.You can use a brush or the backside of a spoon to spread the chocolate around.
If you’re feeling artistic and want to paint a design on the outside of the cakesicles, do that before adding the chocolate. This will give a smoother-looking texture versus decorating with sprinkles and additional chocolate.
Insert the popsicle sticks a third of the way into the mold. Make sure they are laying flat and not pointing downward. They should hover just above the chocolate layer.

After about 15 minutes, remove the molds from the freezer and add the cake dough to each heart. Press the cake in gently to keep the chocolate from cracking.
Cover the cake with more melted chocolate, spreading it as close to the edge as possible. Clean up the edges if the chocolate leaks over – it makes it easier to remove the cakesicles from the molds.
Microwave the red candy melts in 30 second increments until they are smooth. Pour melted chocolate into a piping or plastic bag.

Snip the tip off and start decorating by making zig-zag, circled, or lined patterns.There are no rules here so have a little fun with it!
If you are going to package the strawberry cakesicle in bags for treats, make sure the chocolate is set before bagging them up. About 30 minutes should do the trick.
Otherwise, keep these in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days. But I doubt they’ll last that long!

Cakesicles (easy Cake Popsicles!)
In this weeks video tutorial I am going to show you how I made my hearts in 3 different designs. There is a simple pastel pink heart decorated using pretty sprinkles by Happy Sprinkles, a black and white polka dot design and these pretty vintage rose inspired cake hearts.
Now before I talk about the cake hearts in more detail I am in love with these sprinkles. If you love them as much as I do, in this tutorial I used the Royal Glitter sprinkle mix and the Happy ever after mix by Happy Sprinkles.

For the cake hearts I used white candy melts and coloured them with the Colour Mill oil based colours which I got from The Cake Decorating Company. This was the first time I had used the Colour Mill colours and for colouring candy melts and chocolate they were amazing. The colours are really concentrated so you only needed a small amount, even for colouring the dots for the polka dot design.
A How To: Valentines Day Cakesicles With Heart Shaped Sprinkles
You can buy candy melts pre- coloured but if you’re thinking of colouring your own chocolate or candy melts these give you so much more control and enable you to create the colours you want really easily. When colouring chocolate you will need to use an oil based or powdered colour else the colour will make the chocolate go hard and lumpy due to the water content of the colours.
I love them all, but I think out of the three if I had to choose my favourite design it would be the vintage inspired roses. I coloured some of my candy melts with the rose, raspberry and mint green Colour Mill colours and was able to use these as a paint inside my mould. In the tutorial you will also see this is the same technique I used for the polka dot design. I tested out different techniques and this method worked best as it made the design smooth and part of the outer shell. I tried painting the colour mill directly into the mould and it just didn’t dry, this also had the same effect if I tried painting onto the outside once they came out of the mould.
One little tip would be if you are using the candy melts as a paint to melt down a very small amount at a time as it will dry quite quickly, so once it become stiff just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds and it will become perfect for painting again.
