My daughter made these and she loved every minute of it!

Cakesicle Filling

1 baked 9-inch by 13-inch sheet cake (or two 8-inch round or square cakes)

⅓ cup frosting, plus more if desired

White Chocolate Shell

32 ounces melted and tempered white chocolate or melted white confectionery coating

Instructions

Cakesicle Filling

Crumble the cake and blend it together with the frosting.

Add more frosting if desired until the cake ball filling has a nice chocolate truffle-style texture.

White Chocolate Shell

Spoon 1 tablespoonful of white chocolate into one popsicle cavity.

Paint it into a thin layer on the bottom and up the sides of the mold.

Immediately insert then remove a popsicle stick into the mold, to remove any white chocolate from that area.

Repeat creating 4 white chocolate shells in your popsicle mold.

Pop the mold into the refrigerator, if using pure white chocolate, and into the freezer if using confectionery coating (Candy Melts).

Chill for 3-5 minutes until the candy hardens.

Scoop out 1 tablespoonful of the cake ball filling and press it into the candy shell, leaving at least 1/16 of an inch of space at the top for the additional layer of chocolate.

Repeat filling all the popsicles.

Spoon about a teaspoon of white chocolate over top and spread it out thin.

Use an offset spatula to scrape off any excess white chocolate.

Repeat covering all the cakesicles.

Chill for about 2 minutes until the candy layer hardens.

Unmold the cakesicles and they are ready to decorate and serve.

Decorate by adding a bit of drizzled chocolate shell, then adding desired sprinkles .
