What is a cake ball?

A cake ball is really just a truffle made out of cake crumbs and cream cheese frosting. Then dipped in melted chocolate and topped with sprinkles.

Recipe Tips

• • You can use any flavor cake.
  • Rolling the balls into 1 1/2 inches (I use this cookie scoop) you should get 35-40 balls. You can make them larger or smaller
  • Cake balls are typically dipped in chocolate using melting wafers.
  • Placing your cake balls in the freezer gives them a proper chill before you dip them.
  • Throw uncoated cake balls in the freezer until ready to coat into melted chocolate.

These cake balls are so versatile. You can make them simple or make them fancy. Add a stick and they become cake pops. Whatever you choose, they will be a big hit!
