Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crumbling your leftover cake into a large mixing bowl until it's fine in texture. Add a suitable amount of frosting, mixing well until you form a moist, dough-like consistency.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your colorful candy melts and a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
  3. Pour a generous layer of the melted candy coating into each silicone mold, allowing to set for 5-10 minutes in the freezer.
  4. Remove the molds from the freezer. Press popsicle sticks into the center of each mold, then return to the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
  5. Fill each mold with the cake dough, pressing down gently. Fill to the top without overfilling.
  6. Cover the filled molds with the remaining melted candy coating, sealing each cakesicle, and freeze for 25-30 minutes.
  7. Once set, gently flex the silicone molds to release the cakesicles.
  8. Drizzle remaining melted candy coating over the cakesicles and sprinkle with festive decorations.

Notes

Ensure to use moist cake to maintain texture and prevent the cakesicles from crumbling. Opt for silicone molds for easier removal and better shape.
