How To Make Baseball Cakesicles

Hi friends! I am back with another cakesicle tutorial, but I am writing about baseball cakesicles just in time for the MLB Opening Day. They are perfect for baseball-themed parties, baseball favors, baseball game treats, and many more! I made these for my nephew’s birthday, who loves baseball! They are relatively easy with some basic cakesicle knowledge. I love this particular mold because they are rounded so they are more realistic! Please check the blog post for a supply list, instructions, and a short video! For more cakesicles tutorials, click here.

Baseball Cakesicles Tutorial

What types of chocolate do I use?

Now it is easy to find chocolate wafer melts at stores. My favorite is Ghirardelli, but they only have white and dark chocolate wafers. I use them as a base and purchase colored chocolate wafers such as Sweet Tooth Fairy or Sweet Shop Baking for secondary colors. They can be found at Michaels, Joanns, and Walmart. I also like Fancy Sprinkles Easy Candy, but you will have to order online (Code: 15CAKEINSPO) or from Amazon.

Supplies Needed To Make Baseball Cakesicles

Cake Mix or Cake Scraps of your favorite flavor
Some Buttercream
Hallie Cakesicle Mold (15CAKEINSPO for a discount) (Can be found on Amazon)
White Coating Chocolate (Chocolate Wafers) (See above to find white chocolate wafers at local stores)
Red Chocolate Wafers (Can be found at Michaels, Joanns, or Walmart)
Popsicle Sticks (To make them fancier, I use reusable acrylic cakesicle sticks from Occasional Papercuts.)
Small Offset Spatula
Tipless Piping Bags

Instructions

Mix cake scraps with some buttercream. Usually, a tiny bit will do it. Stop when the mix is not dry anymore.
Melt the white chocolate following the instructions. I usually melt at 30-second intervals until it is melted. Do not let the chocolate be too hot.
Apply the chocolate to the entire mold cavity using a tipless piping bag.
Insert the popsicle sticks only in the slits. Do not push all through just yet. This is to help with cracking.
Put the mold in the fridge to harden the chocolate quickly for a few minutes to 5 minutes.
Repeat the step to apply a double coat.
Put the mold in the fridge.
Make a small ball of the cake mix (approx 1 TBSP) and put them in the mold cavities, and flatten them.
Slowly insert the sticks. It works better when chocolate hasn’t had time to set.
Cover the cake mix with white chocolate with the offset spatula.
Scrape off the excess chocolate paying attention to the edges.
Put the mold in the fridge for the last time.
Once the chocolate is firm, the cakesicles are ready to be popped out. Very gently pop them out.
Melt the red chocolate at 15 second intervals since you don’t need a lot of it.
Fill a tipless bag with the red chocolate and snip a tiny part off. You want the lines to be thin, not thick.
Draw the stitches on the cakesicles.
Allow them to set before packing them up.

Troubleshooting:

If there is a crack on the bottom or sides of the cakesicle, do not fret. You can try to fix it by applying a tiny of chocolate and smoothing it. For large cracks with cake mix showing, they can’t be saved. Use it as your dessert, or give it to your kids tonight.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I really think they are perfect for the baseball season and baseball themed parties!
