How To Make Chocolate Balls For A Cake

Welcome back to this weeks video tutorial. 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.

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.

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.

Baked cake crumbled and mixed with just the right amount of frosting is then rolled into balls and coated in chocolate. Ooo-la-la! That process right there makes the most delicious dessert, Cake Balls! You’re basically getting a small portion of a cake in ball form. And the best part about it is that they can be decorated in a variety of ways and made with any flavor of cake! Plus with my expertise, you’ll be making perfect homemade cake balls in no time! Let’s get started:

How To Make Cake Balls

Make cake mix according to package directions. Depending on which brand of cake mix you use, you may need to change the measurements for eggs, oil, and water. Allow baked cake to cool completely.

Mix in cream cheese, frosting, and cocoa powder. The mixture should be moist and stick together easily. If the dough is too dry, add in more frosting a tablespoon at a time.

Line baking sheet with parchment paper and using a cookie scoop, scoop cake balls onto the baking sheet. Roll each ball with your hands. If the dough sticks to your hands, you’ll need to wash them occasionally.

Best Chocolate Cake {ever}

Microwave milk chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Start out with 30 seconds, stir, and then melt at 20-second increments until melted. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate or it’ll seize up!

Tip: Work in small batches! Pour ⅓ of the bag of chocolate in the bowl and then once it’s used up, make another ⅓ of the bag.

If the chocolate is too thick, you can add a tiny amount of coconut oil to thin it out, just be careful not to add too much because the chocolate won’t set! You can also use Crisco shortening.

Once the chocolate is melted and the cake balls are frozen, you’re ready to dip. Place a cake ball onto a fork and dip. You can use a spoon to scoop up chocolate and pour it over the cake ball if needed. When the cake ball is covered, gently tap the fork to let any extra chocolate drop off.

Melt the white chocolate wafers the same way you melted the other chocolate. Place in a plastic Ziploc bag (careful, it can be hot!) and move the chocolate to one corner of the bag. Snip a tiny section of the opposite corner off and drizzle the top of the cake balls! Cool completely then enjoy!

The beauty of this recipe is that you can customize it to create many different flavor combinations! If you are making a variation of this recipe (using a different flavor of cake mix) leave out the cream cheese and cocoa powder. You may need to add more frosting to get the right consistency. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Now that we have the flavors out of the way we can decide how to decorate your cake balls! There are a lot of options out there, so when in doubt, keep it simple.

If you wanted to make cake balls ahead of time you could! The dough should last in the fridge for a couple of days. Or you can roll them out and freeze them for up to three months… just remember to thaw before dipping!

If you are making a variation of this recipe (using a different flavor of cake mix) leave out the cream cheese and cocoa powder. You may need to add more frosting to get the right consistency.

They’re balls of cake blended with frosting that have been dipped in chocolate, and you can decorate them in so many cute ways!

Deva Williamson, owner of Big Laugh Kitchen and winner of Food Network’s Candy Land, joins me to offer up instructions and tips to help you make these treats.

To get started, use your hands to mix a little bit of the frosting (about 2 tablespoons) into about two cups of cake scraps.

Homemade Chocolate Cake Pops

Knead the two together until you can’t see the frosting anymore. It should all come together into a ball that’s moist and not sticky.

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.
