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.

I recently did another fun collaboration with my sweet friend Tiffani @tiffani_triedandtested over on Instragram. The theme for this collab was ice-cream.  So, I decided to make Ice-cream Cakesicles so I could try out my new ice-cream moulds and also try out some products that the lovely team at @queenfinefoods sent me. These Ice-cream cakesicles are made with delicious coconut cake & are covered in white chocolate.  The ice-cream drip is decorated with pretty sugar strand sprinkles.  The eyes, mouth and cheeks are drawn on with writing icing. I hope you get a chance to make these cute cakesicles.

White Chocolate Cakesicles

Cakesicles were so fun to make that I also covered them in white chocolate and sprinkles. These White Chocolate Cakesicles are made of yummy cake covered with a white chocolate coat and sprinkles.  They are cute to make for birthday parties, baby showers or graduations. I recently also purchased the ice-cream moulds on ebay and am now patiently waiting for their delivery.  I can't wait to experiment with different flavours and more sprinkles of course. I hope you get a chance to make them too.  These ones are made without the ice-cream moulds.

Chocolate Cakesicles

What do you do with left over cake when you cut the tops off to level layered cakes?  I have always wanted to try and make these cakesicles and I finally had left over cake from making my three layered birthday cake recently. These Chocolate Cakesicles are made of yummy cake covered with a chocolate coat and sprinkles.  They are cute to make for birthday parties, baby showers or graduations. I was inspired by Jaina @cocoaandsilk. She makes amazing looking cakesicles.  You have to check out her feed to see them. I didn't purchase a mould to make these, instead I just moulded them by hand, into the shape of ice-creams.  They are not all perfect but they come out pretty cute.  I'm thinking of purchasing some cakesicle moulds as these were a big hit amongst family and friends.  I made some for my friend's baby shower lunch and everyone loved them. Hope you get a chance to make some as they were so fun to make. Happy Baking xo Chocolate Cak...
