What You’ll Need for This Recipe

• 1 box of vanilla cake mix
• 3 large eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup vanilla frosting
• 8 oz white chocolate, melted
• 1/2 cup pastel candy melts
• Sprinkles (optional)
• Lollipop sticks

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Them

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water, mixing until smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a cooling rack.

Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl and mix in the vanilla frosting until fully combined. Shape the mixture into small oblong cakesicle forms and insert lollipop sticks into each one, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Freeze the cakesicles for 1-2 hours or until firm. Melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

Dip each frozen cakesicle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Add pastel candy melts and sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet, then let them set on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I store Easter cakesicles for later? Yes, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain freshness.

What if I don’t have pastel candy melts? You can use white chocolate tinted with food coloring as an alternative.

Tips for Perfect Cakesicles

• Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to avoid a sticky texture.
• Freeze the cakesicles thoroughly before dipping to prevent crumbling in the melted chocolate.
• Work quickly when decorating, as the chocolate sets fast once coated.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you prefer a different flavor, swap the vanilla cake mix for chocolate or lemon cake mix. For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based frosting and dairy-free chocolate.
