Ingredients

  • 9 inch cake flavor of your choice
  • ¼ cup buttercream frosting
  • 2 ¼ cups white candy melts
  • Food Coloring

Instructions

  1. Bake the cake according to your recipe or the package directions. Allow it to cool completely.

  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl until only fine crumbs remain.

  3. Add the buttercream frosting a little at a time. Mix until the crumbs hold together when pressed. Do not add more frosting than necessary.

  4. Press the mixture firmly into the cavities of a silicone cakesicle mold.

  5. Insert a popsicle stick into each cakesicle. Chill for 15–30 minutes, or until firm.

  6. Melt the candy melts according to the package directions. If necessary, thin the coating with a small amount of candy-melt thinning aid or refined coconut oil.

  7. Carefully remove the cakesicles from the mold.

  8. Dip each cakesicle into the melted coating, making sure it is completely covered. Gently tap off the excess.

  9. Immediately add candy eyes, sprinkles or other decorations. For piped designs, allow the base coating to set first.

  10. Place the cakesicles on a parchment-lined baking sheet until the coating is firm.
