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.

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!

Use a tablespoon-sized scoop to form the cake mixture into balls and refrigerate the balls for at least 15 minutes. If they aren’t cold, they may fall apart when you dip them in chocolate.
When they come out of the refrigerator, set a cooling rack over a cookie sheet. When you place the dipped balls on the cooling rack, the extra chocolate will drip onto the cookie sheet and you’ll be able to reuse it.
Use your finger to remove the skewer as you set the balls down on the cooling rack. When you take the skewer away, there will be a hole in the ball. Dip the same skewer back into the chocolate again and then use it to cover up the hole with fresh chocolate.
