Dave and I made 538 of these cake balls for neighbor Christmas gifts this year. It's surprising to bite into one and get a mouthful of yummy cake goodness.
Ingredients:1 cake mix baked according to directions on box
3/4 can of coordinating frosting
24 oz almond bark
Sprinkles, nuts, etc.
After cake has cooled, crumble it into fine pieces. I use my mixer. Some people do it by hand. Add frosting and mix well. Put mixture in refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Roll into balls and place on waxed paper in a freezer safe container. Freeze for 6 hours. Melt almond bark. Stick a toothpick in a frozen ball of cake and dip in the almond bark. Cover hole where toothpick was with chocolate. Sprinkle on sprinkles. These can be left at room temperature or frozen. One cake mix makes about 34 balls if you use Pampered Chef's small cookie scoop. Be sure to roll balls for smooth sides when dipping.
What flavors did you make? Are all of those different kinds?! That's so cool. I'm going to have to try these some day.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you put these on here!!! I want to try them, they look easy enough for me!
ReplyDeleteWe used a bunch of different flavors but the butter cake with the butter cream frosting was my favorite. It tastes like an eclair! We tried different chocolate cakes with mint in the frosting, German chocolate and fudge frosting and they were really good. I didn't taste a strawberry with strawberry frosting but they seem to be the favorite on allrecipes.com. Another favorite was the party cake with party sprinkles. The ones that weren't so great were the butter pecan cake with caramel frosting and the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. The red velvet with cream cheese frosting had very little flavor, but it looked pretty for Christmas. And the lemon with lemon frosting had a bit of a weird after taste. These are so easy to make. You can totally do it, Alyssa.
ReplyDeleteI am so doing this next year. Thanks for sharing.
