Cakesicles... The Dip Method | Chocolate Dipped Treats

Here is a great tutorial on how to make cakesicles without worrying about the chocolate cracking when releasing it from the mold. If you would like to follow along here is what I used. Warm Yellow Cake 4 Cavity Mini Cakesicle Mold 4 Popsicle Sticks Merckens White Chocolate melted in 30 sec intervals Color Mill Baby Pink and Nude Bakell Krazy Sprinkles in Yellow Butterfly Mold 1) Let your cake cool down for 10-15 mins or place your already cool cake in the microwave for 45 secs. 2) Knead and mash your cake til it is like dough. 3) Place some cake dough in the cakesicle mold. But leave room for your stick, chocolate, and more cake to fit. 4) THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! Put some chocolate in the area towards the bottom. 5) Put stick through the slit. 6) Place more cake dough over the stick. 7) Repeat steps 3-6 as needed. 8) Put molds in the freezer for 10 mins 9) Melt Chocolate in intervals of 30,20,10 secs and stirring between each interval. Melt til chocolate is 80% melted then stir the chunks away. (the heat from the chocolate will melt down the rest of the chocolate). 10) Add your desired colors to your chocolate. for help with coloring check out    • Coloring Chocolate With Chefmaster!!! | Co...   or    • Colour Mill Vs Chefmaster... Coloring Choc...  . 11) Let the chocolate cool down while the cakesicles finish up in the freezer. 12) Pull the side of the mold to help release the cakesicle and push the cakesicle up with the stick. 13) To avoid a lot of chocolate getting on the stick dip at an angel. Rotate the cakesicle to get tha back. 14) Shake off excess chocolate and place on silicone mat, wax paper, or parchment paper to set. 15) Decorate and enjoy. Remember with the warm/hot cake taking it out after 10 mins the cakesicles are not frozen or super cold. Also my chocolate it not super hot. Always let your chocolate cool down for 3-5 mins to avoid your chocolate cracking or blooming. If you forget about your cakesicles or the cake is not warm be sure to let your cakesicles sit for 5-10 mins before dipping
