Notes
You can use any flavor of the cake. I used my coffee chocolate cake as the base.
The above measurement will yield 10-12 cakesicles.
You can double or triple the recipe
If you use leftover cream cake, no frosting is required for binding.
Use frosting as required to bring together the mixture. It may vary depending on the moistness of the cake.
I needed to make 25-30 cakesicles so doing it without mould was easy and saved my time as I didn't have a big mold where we can do 8-10 cakesicles at a time.
You can use any topping or even use fondant shapes to decorate it.
Add some colors to melted chocolate and use for dipping too.
You can use milk or dark chocolate for dipping. I used chocolate cake so used white chocolate for dipping.
I used coverture chocolate. Compounds work well too.
