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.
How To Make Cake Pops
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.
Rainbow Flavoured Cake Pops & Truffles
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.

I receivedmany requests to put the recipes on my blog so you can easily find them.Fast forward a few weeks and I finally made a few batches so I could share the recipes with you. I am starting with what I am calling the “3 Ingredient Oreo Cake Pops” (without the stick). You could put these on a stick, but we feel like cake pops are hard to eat sometimes and since these get eaten so fast around here, it is just easier to omit the stick and pop them in your mouth. 🙂
This Is My First Time Making Cake Pops And They Just Keep Falling Down The Stick! Any Advice?
First, add the cream cheese and all the Oreos to thefood processor . Pulse until the two combine and becomes smooth like cookie dough. It will be loose from all the mixing, but don’t worry.
You could use a double broiler to melt the chocolate chips, but I have found that the method I use it faster and the chocolate never burns.
I put the bag of chocolate chips into my 8 c. measuring cup and add about a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the chocolate chips. Then, I stir the chocolate chips to make sure they are all coated with the oil. I put the measuring cup in the microwave in 30 second increments. After each 30 second increment, I bring the measuring cup out and stir the chocolate chips. The ensures you won’t burn the chocolate and gives you full control over the melting process. I usually have to put it in the microwave three times.

I use a spoon to get a small amount of the Oreo and cream cheese mixture out at a time. I roll the mixture into about 1″ balls. Then, I put the ball inside the melted chocolate chips and roll it around with forks to make sure the entire ball is covered in chocolate. Once it is covered, I place it on a piece of wax paper and sprinkle with sprinkles (you don’t have to add sprinkles). Once I get all the balls made, I pop them in the fridge to set.
The Oreo Cake Balls without the stick are prettier to display too. I found some gorgeous stands you could use for these and so many other recipes:
