I recently did these brain-dripped with blood cakesicles for my boys and their friends. Who knew that brains can be so sweet?! 😆 I used a baking pan from Michaels and repurposed it into a cakesicles mold by cutting it up and making cuts with an Exacto knife. I filled them with white chocolate, and chocolate cake with oreo buttercream. I topped them off with red chocolate and some spooky sprinkles! I will have a full workup on these fun Halloween treats.
