If stored in an airtight container or in individual plastic wrap, these cakesicles last: up to 3 days at room temperature. – Chelsweets
If the coating is too thin it will crack when unfolding the cakesicles (I’m speaking from experience 😉 ). Repeat with the remaining molds. Chill for 3 minutes. Scoop a small portion of your cake mixture and gently press it into the prepared molds, adding or removing any extra as needed.- Thesugarcoatedcottage
