Let’s make these super fun and spooky Halloween treats…

Crumble cake and add to stand mixer. Add a little bit of frosting and mix well until mixture sticks together well when squeezed

Using a glitter brush, dust the cakesicle mold with Mercury luxe glitter. Melt white and black candy melts. Combine colors to create gray melted chocolate.

Add a spoonful of melted gray chocolate to the cakesicle mold and using the back of the spoon, coat the sides of the mold. Place in refrigerator for 15-20 minutes

Repeat with a second layer of gray melted chocolate and chill for another 15-20 minutes. Fill the mold with cake mixture pushing firmly. Leave about 1/8 inch space

Add green acrylic stick to the opening of the mold and chill for 15-20 minutes. Cover the cake with another layer of gray candy melts and scrape off any excess with an offset spatula

Chill for 20 minutes. While cakesicles are chilling, fill a piping bag or plastic baggie with melted black candy melts.

Using the Letters chocolate mold, fill the letter cavities RIP. Refrigerate letters for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the cakesicle from the mold gently pushing the top first then remove the bottom.

Add a small amount of melted candy melts to the top of the cakesicle and “glue” on the letters RIP or sprinkles. Let harden for 15 minutes. Store in airtight container.
