Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 Box White Cake Mix 15 Ounces Plus egg, oil on box 9x13 pan.

Buttercream Vanilla Frosting

  • 1 stick salted butter room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 2- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Coating For Cakesicles

  • 1/2 cup Candy Melts - White Green, Red (1/2 cup each color)
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Start by mixing up your cake as directed on the box. Pour into a 9x13 cake pan, and bake. Once done, allow it to cool and then crumble up the cake and place in a bowl.
  • In a stand mixer you will add your softened butter, vanilla, and 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Mix until creamy, and then add in the heavy cream and extra powdered sugar if you need.
  • Then toss in the crumbled cake and mix with mixer or spatula. This is your cake pop filling.
  • Now you will melt your candy melts in the microwave. Once melted you will add a spoonful of chocolate into the silicone mold. Use a spoon to move chocolate around to coat the sides.
  • Then you will slide popsicle sticks in, make sure they are centered.
  • Toss the molds in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • When you remove then you will add some of the cake pop dough in, and use your fingers or a spoon to spread it around. Be gently or you can break the chocolate.
  • Next you will cover the cake with chocolate, clean edges up if you can. Then place together and freeze for 5 minutes.
  • Remove trays from the freezer, and carefully take out of the molds.
  • Use a knife or kitchen shears to scrape down excess chocolate around the mold.
  • Then melt different colored chocolate to decorate your cakesicles with.

Notes

Removing from mold - Be very careful when removing, or you will break the chocolate. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet to decorate.
Decorating - I melted candy melts and then placed in a piping bag. I would drizzle back and forth to make lines. Or do a circle over and over and top with sprinkles to look like a holiday wreath.
Stick Staying In Mold - If you find the stick won't stay in the mold, add chocolate on the stick and slide in and let sit 5 minutes to harden up. Or add chocolate around the end of the stick that is in the chocolate, so it seals it in.
Cut Away Chocolate - Cut away the chocolate around the outer rim of the chocolate. Use scissors or a knife.
Storing - Store these in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week. Or freeze for 3-4 months.
