Step 2 Mix the cake on low speed until it has binded into a ball in the center of the bowl. The cake being both moist and hot will help it stick together. If it is not binding together, you can add in 1-2 tablespoons of frosting to assist. The dough should be the consistency of cookie dough.

Step 3 Once your cakesicle dough is ready, take a heaping single scoop with a small ice cream scoop. Place the scoop of cakesicle dough into the center of the mold. Press the dough into the mold and make it even with the top of the sides of the mold. You can use a knife to level out the top if you have used too much cakesicle dough.

Step 4 Insert the sticks into the cakesicle mold and through the dough. The dough may rise a little in the mold once a stick is inserted. Gently press the dough back down. Freeze the cakesicles in their molds for one hour. The frozen cakesicles will keep the cakesicles from falling apart in the melted chocolate.

Step 5 Taking one or two cakesicles out of the freezer at a time. Begin decorating by spooning the orange over the bottom of the cakesicle. Set it aside and let it harden. Next, add the yellow in the center of the cakesicle. Allow it to harden as well. Finally add the white chocolate at the top
