A recipe for cake balls that uses cake mix, frosting and candy melts to create fun and festive bites. Cake balls are perfect for gift giving and they’re easy to turn into cake pops!
Cake balls are a welcome addition to any gathering, and they make super cute party favors as well. I often make this recipe, chocolate covered Oreos or chocolate covered pretzels for a quick treat. This basic recipe formula can be changed up into tons of fun flavor combinations.
Cake balls are such a fun and festive dessert, and they’re almost too pretty to eat! I love making cake balls because they’re a total crowd pleaser, both kids and adults alike adore them.
Birthday Cake Protein Balls
A cake ball is essentially a truffle make of a blend of cake crumbs and frosting that is dipped in candy melts. Cake balls are often topped with sprinkles or decorated in ways to look like flowers, animals, you name it!
The first step to making cake balls is to bake a 9″x13″ cake. I always use a cake mix because there are so many flavor options, they always come out moist and delicious, and it’s just so easy. The cake gets crumbled up before it’s mixed with the frosting, then shaped into balls. You can make your cake balls as big or as small as you like, I typically go for about 1 1/2 inches in size.
Looking to turn your cake balls into cake pops? It’s easy! Simply place your formed cake balls onto lollipop sticks, then chill and dip into candy melts as directed in the recipe below.
Chocolate Cake Pops
I find the easiest way to dip cake balls is to place each ball on a fork, then spoon the candy melts over the top. Tap the fork lightly against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. You only want a thin coating of chocolate, otherwise the excess chocolate will pool at the bottom of your cake truffle as it hardens. Gently transfer each dipped cake truffle to a sheet of parchment paper to let it harden. And don’t forget to add your sprinkles while the cake balls are still wet!
I used a classic yellow cake with vanilla frosting here, but there are so many ways to flavor your cake balls such as
Cake balls will last for 5-7 days when stored in an airtight container. If you need to store them for longer than that, you can transfer them to the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 10 days.

Raspberry White Chocolate Cake Balls
These cake balls are one of the easiest recipes you could make! This is a great recipe that starts with a cake mix, your favorite frosting, candy melts and sprinkles, and can be adapted to so many flavor combinations, or for so many holidays, and occasions.
You can make these cake balls into cake pops if you want. The only other thing you’ll need is lollipop sticks. Dip the end of the lollipop stick into the melted candy melts, then stick that into the middle of the cake ball.
Then you can use the lollipop stick to help you dip the pop into the melted chocolate. Once they’re dipped push the other end of the lollipop stick into a cardboard box, or a piece of Styrofoam to keep it in place and stop the cake pops from falling/touching each other/getting ruined.

This week I am sharing with you how to make these really fun chocolate balls or chocolate spheres to decorate your cakes. These are so fun and can be made to look like little balls or why not make them look like fun balloons. For this cake I wanted the balls to look like a balloon garland going across one side of the cake going from light to dark and with a mix of different shades of pink, some shimmery gold ones and of course some polka dot ones.
I was so excited to add the polka dots ones into this video as this design was so popular in the geometric heart video and the technique also works perfectly for these too.
For the chocolate balls I used bright white candy melts and coloured them with the Colour Mill oil based colours which I got from The Cake Decorating Company. You could also used pre-coloured candy melts or tempered chocolate depending on the style of cake you are looking to create. There are so many possibilities with these chocolate balls and they really do look so fun on the top of your cake.
Cake Pop Tips
For this cake I used 3 different sized silicone moulds which I purchased from Amazon. The first was a larger mould which gave a finished ball with a 7cm diameter. There was then a 3.8cm ball and a smaller 3cm ball.
To compliment these I also addedsome of the Happy Sprinkles Gold Chocolate Crunch Sprinkles in XXL and M. The Choco Crunch balls come in so many colours and sizes, and if you want to add them to your cakes Happy Sprinkles have kindly given me a 10% off discount code for me to share with you.

Healthy Cake Batter Balls
When creating the balls you want to make them as light as possible so there is not alot of weight being added onto the top of the cake. We also need them to be light so they can be piled ontop of each other. When adding the balls to the cake I used some of my white candy melts on the bottom, but instead of holding them in place until that chocolate had set I used a can of Spray Ice.This one I got from The Cake Decorating Companyand it worked amazingly well. It is food grade, and you just spray it on and it sets the chocolate or candy melts instantly enabling you to stack them ontop of each other and even glue them to the side of your cake. Just be careful with the gold lustre dust balls as it can take off some of the lustre dust which I had to retouch at the end.
I really hope you will find this tutorial useful and enjoy making your own chocolate balls to add onto your cakes.If you haven’t already you can subscribe to my YouTube channelfor more Free cake decorating video tutorials.
