Tsum Tsum Princess Cakesicles

I have been looking forward to making these Tsum Tsum princess cakesicles! As you know, I am a Tsum Tsum game addict, and anything Tsum Tsum just gets me excited! All these cakesicles are for a lucky young lady, celebrating her 10th birthday with her friends at school. 

Princess Tusm Tsum Cake Popsicles!

Now, it was my first time making these particular cakesicles (head on over to my IG to see the other cakesicles I've made!), so the first order of business was to sketch out the design. Helps me to visual and make changes if necessary upon execution.

As the name implies, cakesicles are "popsicle"-shaped cakes. Some people make them the same way one would make cake pops, by crumbling up cake and mixing it with buttercream to form cake pop dough, and then moulding it into shape. But, I like to bake the cake directly in mould. Less work, and much fluffier texture! For these princesses, I baked up yummy vanilla funfetti cakesicles.

Once the cakes have been baked, and frozen, they are ready to be dipped into chocolate. I use two coats of chocolate cuz otherwise, the rainbow sprinkles in the batter shows through. Here's a pic after the first coat, where I've added fondant balls on some of them for the princess' buns. You could use m&m's or any round candy too.

To get flesh tone for the chocolate, I added a little bit of dark chocolate to the white chocolate, and a drop of yellow candy oil. Tiana was mostly dark chocolate, mixed with some white chocolate.

For the hair, for Snow White & Ariel, I dipped them in chocolate. But for Belle, Cinderella and Tiana, I piped the chocolate on using a tipless piping bag, so I could draw their hairline properly. 

The fun part was dressing up all these princesses! I used a scalloped round cutter for Belle, Cinderella and Snow White's dresses. For Tiana's dress, I used a fancy border edge cutter to get the frills. Her hairband was cut out using different rose calyx cutters, with a centre line indented using a veiner tool. Ariel's tail fin was simply shaped from a sausage piece of fondant. 

wallpaper, anyone?

I am so totally in love with how this set turned out! Hope you're not getting dizzy from looking at the pattern! Stay tuned for announcements from Charlissa Baking Studio, where I'll be teaching hands-on from-scratch classes on how to make these babies!

Princess Tsum Tsum Cakesicles

The princess Tsum Tsum cakesicles were all individually packaged and tied off with ribbon. (Tying ribbon is always the most painful process for me :P). Happy 10th Birthday to the lovely Chyloe!
