How to Make Spring Blooms Cakesicles


Hi friends! I am so glad that spring is coming (technically, it is already here because it’s in the 70s all week) because we just had an arctic blast last week. Too cold! I originally created them for Fancy Sprinkles’ spring campaign on Instagram (I am one of their ambassadors), so I thought I’d do a full write-up on how to make cakesicles using cakesicle mold, sprinkles and fondant flowers. I filled them with edible cookie dough this time. They are perfect for a tea party, and spring-themed party, and Easter! The supply list, instructions, and a short time-lapse video are below.
Spring Blooms Cakesicles (Cake Pops) Tutorial

What are cakesicles?
They are similar to cake pops, but you use a mold to create the cakesicles using cake scraps mixed with buttercream (or anything you want, such as edible cookie dough, mousse, and more) coating chocolate and sticks. I love doing cakesicles because there are endless options for the molds, designs, etc.! Check out my previous tutorial on another design.
Supplies Needed To Create Spring Blooms Cakesicles
- Edible Cookie Dough (I used a recipe from Hello, Cookie Dough cookbook)
- White Coating Chocolate (I used Guittard Coating Chocolate. It tastes so much better than Wilton Candy Melts but you can use them as well. I just prefer Guittard.)
- Oil-based coloring (I used Colour Mill in Baby Pink. Chefmaster and Wilton also has oil-based coloring but Colour Mill works so much better.)
- Tango Silicone Mold (If it’s sold out on Amazon, Here’s a link from Etsy for the same mold.
- Cakesicles Sticks (the wooden sticks usually come with the mold. In this post, I used reusable acrylic cakesicle sticks from Occasional Papercuts which gives the cakesicles more refined look.
- Flower Mold
- Fondant for the flowers (I usually buy the small packages from Hobby Lobby because I don’t use a lot of fondant. )
- Prism Powder (Optional: to make glittery flowers. Same code below for a discount)
- Small Rubber Spatula (I love mine from Wilton. It’s perfect for applying chocolate in the cakesicle mold.)
- Small Offset Spatula
- Sprinkles (I used Fancy Sprinkles “Let It Be” sprinkle blend. Use CAKEINSPO15 for a 15% discount for any order!)
- Optional: Photo Styling (for bloggers and cake creators). I purchased these fantastic party confetti from Festive Fetti.

Instructions

- Make edible dough as instructed in the recipe of your choosing.
- Make fondant flowers using the flower mold. Let them harden a little bit and brush them with edible glitter.
- Melt chocolates for 30 seconds. Stir. Melt at 15-second intervals until it is all melted. You do not want it to be too hot because it can become stiff.
- Apply a drop of the baby pink (or your choice) oil-based coloring to the melted chocolate (if using Guittard or any compound chocolates)
- Spread chocolate in the cakesicle mold cavities using a small rubber spatula like this. Don’t use too much or you will have an uneven ratio of chocolate and edible cookie dough.
- Tap and angle the mold to get the chocolate to cover all of the cavities.
- Put the mold in the fridge to harden the chocolate quickly for a few minutes to 5 minutes.
- Reapply to the sides of the cavitity especially the thin coat areas. You want to make sure there are no empty or bald spots.
- Put it back in the fridge.
- Make a small ball of the edible cookie dough (approx 1 TBSP) and put them in the mold cavities, and flatten them. Leave a small empty by the insert.
- Slowly insert the cakesicle sticks. It works better when chocolate is not fully set and hard.
- Cover the edible cookie dough with chocolate.
- Scrap 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. Gently pop them out.
- Use a kitchen blowtorch to slightly melt the chocolate so the sprinkles will stick better. (Saw this tip on Instagram!)
- Enjoy!
