For both pre heat oven to 180oC and whisk the butter and caster sugar together.

Place the cakes in the oven for 18-20 mins. Once cooked they will be springy to touch, take them out of the oven and let them cool.

For chocolate push pops, now melt the chocolate together then add coffee and vanilla extract this will make the chocolate look funny but add the honey and it will smooth out again.

Whisk up your icing sugar and butter add the colouring and vanilla.

Using one of the push pops as a cutter cut out all your circles.

Place one bit of sponge in a push pop then drizzle chocolate sauce and then some icing on top then place another bit of sponge and top with icing and sprinkles.

For vanilla push pops replace chocolate sauce with your favourite jam and assemble as above.
