Cake Balls



1 cake mix
Ingredients needed for cake mix
3/4 can of frosting
1 pkg of Almond Bark or Wilton Confectionary Wafer Coating

Bake the cake according to package instructions. While warm, crumble the cake into a bowl. Using a hand mixer continue to crumble to a fine texture. Mix in frosting to make a paste.

Using a melon baller, small cookie scoop, or your hands form the mixture into 1 ½ -inch balls. (Walnut size) Place the balls on wax paper; freeze uncovered for 2 hours.

Working in small batches, remove the balls from the freezer and dip the balls into warm, melted Almond Bark Coating or Confectionery Wafer Coating, using toothpicks or forks to manipulate the balls. Remove the balls. Place the balls on wax paper to harden.

Flavor Varieties:
Birthday Cake
French Vanilla Cake Mix (add a little almond flavoring to the mix)
Cream Cheese Frosting
White Chocolate Bark or Coating

Dipped Strawberries

Decorating Ideas:

  • Drizzle with alternating color of bark. This will cause the balls to look like Truffles.

  • Place in paper candy holders to dress the appearance or gift giving.
