Cakesicles

 Cakesicle

Anyone looking for an alternative to cakes and cupcakes for their baking this summer might want to check out the cakesicles baking pan. This baking pan has popsicle-shaped depressions that, as you can imagine, produce cakes and cookies in that same shape. The popsicles are fairly shallow, but there is no mistaking the design.

Cookies are thick and sturdy enough to hold their shape well if you slide a popsicle stick inside to complete the look, but cake can crumble when you put it on a stick. Instead, take two cakesicles, sandwich them together with frosting and dunk them into chocolate (white, milk or dark) to give them a real popsicle look. This is how the cakesicle in the photo above was made. It has a yellow cake, orange buttercream, white chocolate coating and sprinkles.  I confess that this cakesicle was from a party, and not something I put together, but the pan comes with recipes that should really streamline the process. . These treats would be fantastic at a kids party or at any summer gathering - especially since you don’t need an easily accessible freezer to keep these from melting!

    Wow. Totally running this idea past my son for his birthday party. (I wonder if my local cake supply store has these…?)

    My first thought was: perfect for the kids! My second thought: why the kids…wouldn’t this be fun to serve at a dinner party! Thank you. I’m going to get that pan pronto!

    Oh man, Nicole! Thanks for sharing this one. Those cakesicles look so darn good. I’m totally going to have to invest in this pan. You see, I really like ice cream, but I love cake more…and there’s something totally fabulous about having cake and icing in ice cream form!

    Very cute! I wouldn’t buy a special pan for the one time I’d actually use it, but they’re really cute.

  14. natalie Mar 28

  15. Juliana Mar 28

    Thanks for sharing…great for any party…

  16. JanH Mar 28

    If you don’t want to invest in the pan, you can try it with that madeleine pan we all bought years ago!

  17. Samantha Mar 28

    Super super cute!!!

  18. ashley Mar 28

    YUM!! Looks like something I can put together for camp this summer :)

    This is so adorable!

    Now I’m just wondering how I could do it without buying the pan…

  21. Baking Monster Mar 29

  22. Jen Mar 30

    So unique and adorable! Great find!

    What kind of white coating is that and how did they get it on so perfectly? That looks better than the one in the ad for the pan.

  24. Anna Alfafara Apr 10

    Wow! This is very appropriate for summer vacation as the kids want to try something new and exciting. Perfect for parties, picnics and short travels.

    I think I’ll start checking the pan for this. Thanks!

    OMG! My kids just absolutely LOVED these. I think they ate about 5 each, lol. The only problem now is they constantly are asking me to make them for them. I brought a batch to school today for a last day of school treat - they were a huge hit!
