CakeSicles
Recipe by Kickass Baker
Process-
The process wasn’t difficult, but it definitely took time! You basically make a cake, which is easy, and then add frosting. The frosting mixed with the cake makes an texture that allows you to mold (is it mold or mould?) into the cakesicle mold. The hardest part is melting and shaping the chocolate. The first round didn’t work. I added to much of the cake mixture and then added the last bit of chocolate on top to seal the cakesicle. The chocolate didn’t fuse together so when pulled them out of the mold it broke in half. Not happy haha.
I decided to take the night off, think about how I could improve it and went to work in the morning. I didn’t add as much cake mixture this time and added a bit more chocolate to seal and it worked great!
I used orange chocolate melts from Michael’s. In the recipe, it says not use, because they are unreliable. This specific chocolate does crack VERY easily, but next time I will try a different brand.
Taste:
The chocolate cake was so delicious guys. It was sweet and has a bit a saltiness to it. It’s was so moist because of the sour cream. The recipe calls for a cup of coffee as well and that adds a bit of a bite to the flavor. I loved the hardness of the chocolate next to the soft cake. It’s fun to crack in too!
If you have read my other posts I love anything on the stick or that’s portable so this is my kind of treat! Am I a child? hahaha
Random Thoughts:
Taylor and I have continued our 70’s horror film binge. The last film we watched was The Nightcomers (1971). It’s with Marlon Brando who is fucking incredible. He plays an Irish grounds keeper who is having a sadistic affair with the nanny. It gets prettttyyyy crazy, but the twist is the kids that live there, whose parents just died, have been watching what they do the whole time… I’ll leave it at that. If you like horror films watch it. Also! There is a new series out on Netflix that is based off the of the book by Henry James which the movie is based off of! Haunting at Bly Mannor I believe. I haven’t watched it but willing to give it a shot.
I started Emily in Paris AND I fucking love it. Anything having to do with Paris I am all about. I miss traveling and I love the french. Some say they are rude, but I think they are proud of their lovely culture. Us American’s suck so I get why they hate us.
My BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP! I bought myself a yellow/mustard corduroy jumpsuit. Wild right? It’s really adorable and I hope it fits. I’m treatin myself for the next two weeks. DON’T CARE!
