Now I must admit I'm not very good at the decorating part of it, and I still haven't perfected the way to dip these in chocolate. I suppose putting a lollipop stick in them is the way to go!
1 box cake mix, any flavor (I used classic yellow)
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 container frosting
36 oz vanilla or chocolate-flavored candy coating
Bake cake as directed on box. Pour your frosting into a large bowl. Crumble warm cake into frosting.
Mix together with a fork until well blended. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or firm enough to shape. (I left it in overnight).
Use a tablespoon worth of mixture and shape into a ball. Repeat. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Line another cookie sheet with foil. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave 12 oz candy coating uncovered on High 1 minute 30 seconds; stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth. Remove one-third of the balls from the freezer. Using 2 forks, dip and roll each ball in coating. Place on foil-covered cookie sheet. Decorate as desired. Refrigerate cake balls about 10 minutes or until coating is set. Melt remaining candy coating in 12-oz batches; dip remaining balls. Serve at room temperature. Store in airtight container.
I been wanting to make cake balls in forever well I want to make the cake lollipops, they look so cute at parties like the cake lollipops wrapped in colorful wrappers with ribbons, etc.
ReplyDeleteI had my first experience with them 2 weeks ago at a "Sweet 16"
I'm going to try to make them soon. (Probably use like a rich yellow cake and a cream cheese frosting to bind it, dipped in chocolate like the kind they use to coat strawberries, like melt milk chocolate over a double broiler with some cream and butter OMG)... damn i feel the pounds coming on lol.
