Cake Balls

Ash, I tried the buffalo dip. A little spicy for my taste, so I reduced the hot sauce to 1/4 cup and loved it! Just a little side note. So this week was grandmother's birthday and I know it's somewhat clique but I had to  see what all the fuss was about for "cake balls" or "cake pops. I gave it a try.

What you will need:
Cake mix (I wanted to make one from scratch but I just didn't have the time). Any flavor, brand, ect
Frosting (Again, I wanted to make it from scratch, but settled on one already made. Any flavor
Bark/Candy Coating (I found this at Kroger in the baking section)

For reference, I used vanilla cake mix, vanilla frosting, and I bought chocolate and vanilla coating just to mix up the colors a little bit. Make sure you have sprinkles!

Directions:
1. Bake the cake as directed.
2. After about 15 minutes of cooling, crumble it all up. I used a hand mixer to really get it crumbled. Add the frosting and form it into a ball.
3. Put the ball into the freezer for AT LEAST 15 minutes before continuing. Room temperature cake will not form into balls and they will fall apart in the coating. Very frustrating
4. Then form into little balls and roll into coating. I used a fork and just rolled the balls around until they were fully coated.
5. Add sprinkles! The coating dries pretty fast so make sure to do this immediately.
6. I added lollipop sticks to the balls just for extra creativity. The sticks are left over from my marshmallow sticks. Found at Hobby Lobby for 2 bucks
