Holiday and Celebration Variations

Cakesicles are perfect for any special occasion. Below is a list of some decorating ideas.

• Baby Shower - Coat each cakesicle in pink or blue depending on the gender. If the gender is not known, make both pink and blue sicles. Decorate with sprinkles. Tie pink or blue bows on each stick.
• Birthday - Coat each sicle in the desired color. Once the candy or chocolate coating has set, dip the top corner in melted chocolate. Roll in funfetti sprinkles.
• Christmas - Coat each sicle in white, red, or green colored chocolate. Drizzle with red and green chocolate. Top with sprinkles as desired.
• Easter - Melt white chocolate and use pastel gel food coloring to create Easter colors. Dip a top corner in the same color as the shell. Sprinkle using dusk sprinkles in a different pastel Easter color.
• Fourth of July - Start with a white shell and then drizzle in red and blue melted chocolate. Top with sprinkles as desired.
• Gender Reveal - Use food coloring to create a pink or blue cake (you can use a strawberry cake for pink). Coat the cakesicle in a color that will not reveal the inside color. Decorate as desired.
• Hanukkah - Use white chocolate and blue food coloring to medium blue. Decorate with white drizzle. Top with Hanukkah sprinkles.
• Saint Patrick's Day - Use white chocolate and green food coloring to medium green. Decorate with white drizzle. Top with Saint Patrick's Day sprinkles.
• Valentine's Day - Melt white chocolate and use red food coloring to create a red shell. Melt enough white chocolate to drizzle and then top with sprinkles as desired.
