Step 1: Bake the Red Velvet Cake

Preheat the oven to 170°C (fan oven 160°C). Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Beat the butter until soft, about 3 minutes. Then add 200 g of mix and 2 eggs, and mix on medium speed for 5 minutes until smooth. Pour the batter into a greased baking tin of approximately Ø 15 cm and bake in the center of the oven for about 35 minutes. Immediately turn the cake out onto a cooling rack after baking and allow it to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the dough for the cakesicles

Once cooled, crumble the cake into a bowl. Melt the chocolate callets using a bain-marie, then pour them over the cake crumbs. Knead until a cohesive dough forms. Fill the mold with the dough and insert the sticks. Freeze for several hours until the cakesicles are thoroughly chilled; this can also be done overnight.

Step 3: Make the fondant decorations

Firmly press the fondant into the mold and remove any excess fondant so the edges are clearly visible. Carefully turn the mold over and gently release the figure. If necessary, dust the mold lightly with cornstarch beforehand to help the fondant release more easily. Let the decorations dry on the counter.

Step 4: Make the cakesicles

First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the choco drips according to the instructions on the package and pour them into two separate glasses. Dip half of the cakesicles in the white chocolate drip and the other half in the pink. For full coverage, dip them twice. Place the cakesicles on the baking sheet after dipping and let them harden completely.

Step 5: Decorate the cakesicles

Once the cakesicles have hardened, attach the fondant decorations to them with a bit of edible glue.

Step 6: Enjoy this delightful Christmas treat!
