Sprinkle Cakesicles

I've had so fun making cakesicles with my ice-cream moulds.  However, I have not mastered the skill of coating them perfectly using the dipping method.

So, I decided to try a new technique of covering the cakesicles with chocolate.  This method involves coating the ice-cream moulds and then add the cake mixture and then more chocolate.

I found this method to be more successful in creating a smoother and more perfect looking cakesicle. Unfortunately, when I was doing this, it was at night and the pictures were not great.

Please head over to Instagram @bellyshakesshop and see beautiful Courtney's video in her feed as I used the same method on these cakesicles.  Her video is awesome.

These Sprinkle Cakesicles are made of yummy chocolate cake covered with a dark chocolate or white chocolate coat and sprinkles.  They are fun and easy to make and a great way to use up leftover cake.

Happy Baking xo
