Cake Ball Cuties



On Monday I decided to do a little baking project with the kids. Cake Balls! These delectable little goodies are all the rage in desserts right now. Bakerella is the genius behind those adorable cake pops, and although I'm no Bakerella and cannot create those beautiful cake pops in the most lovable characters of my kids favorite cartoons, I decided to give them a shot. I thought the kids would love helping and eating of course.

What you will need:
One cake mix of your choice- bake cake as directed and let cool(very important that the cakes cools before adding frosting)
1 can of frosting of you choice
Dipping Chocolate- Almond bar works really well and is easy to use

After cake is cooled, crumble in a bowl, add frosting until Incorporated completely. Roll mixture into balls and set on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Stick in the freezer for about an hour.
Melt Chocolate (Directions on the back for melting) Dip your balls in, let them get coated all the way then set back on cookie sheet. They set up very quickly so if you want to decorate them with sprinkles make sure you throw them on as soon as you set them on the cookie sheet. And done, enjoy!
