Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups gluten free cake * see notes
  • 4 tablespoons frosting
  • 14 ounces melting wafers * see notes

Optional:

  • food coloring
  • sprinkles
  • nuts
  • chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Place your cooled baked cake in a large mixing bowl. Tear or shred it into small bits. Make homemade cake or gluten free boxed cake mix.
  • Add sprinkles if you are using them.
  • Add 3-4 tablespoons of frosting. You can use homemade or store-bought.
  • Mix the frosting and cake bits into a cake paste.
  • Press the dough into the cakesicle mold. I recommend not inserting the sticks into the mold.
  • Chill for one hour.
  • Melt your chocolate. You can use either a double boiler or the microwave. If you microwave the chocolate, be sure to microwave it at 25 second intervals. Stir between each interval. Do not overcook the chocolate or it will burn.
  • Dip a popsicle stick 1/4 into the melted chocolate and insert it into a cake pop. repeat until all of the cakesicles have sticks.
  • Dip each cakesicle into the chocolate. Use a spoon to coat the cakesicle in chocolate. Gently shake it to remove the excess melted chocolate. Place onto a silicone mat or wax paper.
  • Quickly decorate with sprinkles, more drizzled chocolate, etc. before the chocolate hardens. Refrigerate for 30 minutes then serve.

Notes

  1. Please see the recipe post for lots of gluten free cake flavors to try, chocolate melting tips, etc. 
  2. If you are going to use melting wafers, know that Sweet Tooth Fairy and Wilton are made on shared equipment with wheat. I recommend Ghirardelli Chocolate Melting Wafers.
  3. If you use sprinkles, be sure to look at my Gluten Free Sprinkles List to make sure your sprinkles are safe.
  4. Store the cakesicles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them if you need to make them ahead.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
