Start by making your favorite boxed chocolate cake mix. This makes it easy and they are ready to go in 20 minutes.
After your cupcakes cool, crumble them up into pieces and add a 1/2 cup chocolate frosting.
Using either your hands or a rubber spatula, mix the frosting into the crumbs until a dough like mixture forms.
Decorating Frozen Themed Cakesicles
Melt the white chocolate in 30 second increments, mixing after each time to ensure smooth melted white chocolate when the chocolate is ready spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the melted white chocolate into the cakesicle molds and move the cakesicle mold around to ensure that the sides are coated.
Carefully push in the popsicle stick into the bottom of the cakesicle mold and place the mold into the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Once the white chocolate is set, remove it from the fridge
Take about 1-2 tbsp of the cake mixture and carefully press into the
mold, make sure the side of the chocolate does not break
Remelt the white chocolate used to coat the cakesicle mold and then spoon on about 1-2 tbsp of the white chocolate onto the top of the cake mixture into the mold.
Place the mold back into the fridge for another 30 minutes
Carefully remove the cakesicle from the mold and place them onto the wire rack to mold and dry completely.
Repeat steps with the remaining cake dough and with the remaining melted chocolate.

Making Cakesicles Ahead of Time
If you’re planning to enjoy these frozen cakesicles at a frozen or winter themed party, you’ll want to make them before party day. How far in advance can you make cakesicles? Fresh cake will usually keep for 7-10 days. You should count from the day you make the cake.
For this recipe, the cake is easier to manipulate if it’s a day old. Therefore, I like to make my cake the day before I begin making frozen cakesicles. After baking your cake, cover and store it at room temperature.
Completed frozen cake pops are fine on the counter for 2 days, but they’ll keep fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Beware: cakesicles kept on the counter for too long will develop mold. The mold will remain hidden until you bite into your cakesicles, so you’ll definitely want to store your cakesicles in the fridge if you aren’t planning to eat them quickly. If you’re like me, they’re all gone before they make it to the fridge!
Can you Freeze Cakesicles?
Freezing Cakesicles
Need to keep your cakesicles fresh longer? Cakesicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 weeks! That means you can make these cakesicles in large batches and store them for a quick dessert whenever you need a sweet treat.
Frozen Themed Birthday
Frozen cakesicles are perfect for parties! These fancy treats are easier to eat than traditional cake or cupcakes, so they’re perfect for birthday parties with children. Your little princess will love these frozen cake pops decorated to match her princess party theme this year.
A cake pop birthday party is definitely less messy, but it’s also a chance to take your theme one step further. Still, want to serve a traditional birthday cake?
Wrap these frozen cakesicles in cellophane and send them home with your guests as a party favor.
