Rocket ship–shaped multicoloured ice pops have been an ice cream truck favourite for decades. Ours get their colours from fresh berries. These pops are frozen in stages, so if you're using a mould that requires sticks, choose one without a top or cap that closes off the mould – you'll need to pour more mixture in after you've inserted the stick.
If you don't want to fuss with Royal Icing for the ants, tint ¼ cup (60 mL) of the icing black, then place candy-coated chocolate pieces on the cake and pipe on black legs.
