Ingredients

For the Cakesicle Mixture

2 cups Leftover cake or cupcakes Any flavor works, but red velvet adds a seasonal twist.
1 cup Frosting This binds the cake together and adds sweetness; feel free to use store-bought or homemade.

For the Coating

12 ounces Coating chocolate or candy melts White, black, and orange colors are perfect for creating a spooky theme.
Oil-based candy color or powdered food color Optional; use this to tint your chocolate for even more creative flair!

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by crumbling your leftover cake or cupcakes into a large mixing bowl. Combine the crumbled cake with the frosting, mixing with a spatula until the mixture is thoroughly combined and holds together when pressed.
Take your cakesicle molds and firmly pack the cake and frosting mixture into each cavity. Press the mixture down tightly to achieve a solid shape, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold, ensuring they are centered.
Place the filled molds into the freezer and let them chill for about 1 hour.
Melt the coating chocolate or candy melts according to the package instructions, typically using a microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds.
If you want to add a splash of color to your melted chocolate, consider mixing in oil-based candy colors or powdered food colors.
Remove the frozen cakesicles from the molds carefully, dip each one into the melted chocolate, submerging it completely and allowing the excess to drip off.
Transfer the coated cakesicles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing them to cool at room temperature or place them back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to harden the chocolate coating properly.
Once the chocolate is set, unleash your creativity by decorating the cakesicles with melted chocolate, sprinkles, or other edible decorations.

Notes

Ensure that the leftover cake is crumbled finely to help it mix well with the frosting. Press the mixture firmly, but don’t overpack. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping to prevent melting the cakesicles.
