ADVICE FROM A PRO

Matt’s tip

“Cakesicles are the natural evolution of cake pops, allowing for a more substantial portion size. Guests love them because they’re more convenient to nibble on while standing, chatting, or mingling—compared to cupcakes.

Cakesicles often have elaborate designs and decorations, which can get a bit lost if they’re presented lying down on serving plates. Cakesicle stands allow you to show off the design, while adding height to your display.

Give some thought to how the finished display will look before ordering your cakesicles. Alternating between two different colored / themed cakesicles gives a stylish and modern look.

Alternatively, using a different color / design per row allows you to offer more variety while still looking well-designed.

Be sure to check out my separate posts about decorated cakesicles and themed cakesicles available to order online.

If you’re serving lots of different cakesicles, you can also pick up a printable menu to help guests identify which flavor is which and any dietary restrictions, such as vegan or gluten free (see links below).”
