How to Make Cake Balls

Prep Time2 hours
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time2 hours 30 minutes
Course: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 box Devil's Food Cake Baked according to the directions on the box.
  • 1 jar fudge frosting
  • 1 package vanilla/white almond bark or white chocolate chips for melting
  • 1 bag Wilton candy melts optional, any color of your choice
  • sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Prepare cake as directed on the box. Bake in a 9x13 inch pan.
  • When cake is done baking, allow it to cool completely.
  • Once the cake has cooled, cut it into chunks and place in your mixer bowl along with 3/4 of a jar of fudge frosting. Mix on low speed until the frosting has incorporated into the cake chunks. 
  • Place the frosting/cake mixture in the freezer for 20-30 minutes so that forming balls will be easier.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and begin forming one inch balls. I use a tablespoon to help me get the right size.
  • Once all of the balls have been formed, place them in the freezer to firm up for 20-30 minutes.
  • Melt the almond bark according to the directions on the package. Take a few cake balls out of the freezer at a time to dip in the white chocolate. I usually take about 5 out. If you take them all out, by the time you get to the last ones, they'll be more difficult to work with from sitting out.
  • Melt Wilton candy melts according to the directions on the package. Use a piping bag or ziplock bag to decorate each cake ball. Top with sprinkles immediately before the chocolate has time to set.
