How To Make Red Velvet Cake Balls

That said, it’s good to let go of any expectations of perfection if you decide to let your kids help. Just embrace the “uniqueness” of the kids’ cake balls and go with it. They will have fun though and it’s worth it.

I recommend freezing the cake balls before dipping. It makes them much easier to work with and keeps them from falling apart when dipped in the warm chocolate.

Also, have everything set up with plenty of space before you begin. Have a cookie sheet lined with wax paper to set the cake balls on after dipping.
