So I made it with Devil’s cake with white chocolate coating. Yummm!

Definitely use only 1/2-3/4 tub of frosting. Candy bark makes a nice crunch on the outside compared with soft cake center. I once tried chocolate chips/paraffin wax but the outside was soft and I missed the crunch. The only benefit was the balls did not crack and seep cake through.

This is a fabulous recipe. Thank you for sharing!

They are always a hit. I completly cooled my cake before crumbling it though. I use fondue forks for the dipping.

For some reason, all the teens & 20-somethings I know LOVE THEM. I am quite popular when I have cakeballs!

Always gobbled up whenever we make them, and so easy to make whatever flavor combinations you want!

My friends love it when I make them! My favorite combo is chocolate cake, dipped in white chocolate- yummy!
I usually dip about half of them and then freeze the rest because the recipe makes such a huge batch!
I dip them straight out of the freezer, but like the previous reviewer, once the cake mixture defrosts, it oozes out of the chocolate, but if you just wipe it off before displaying then it looks fine!
Also- I use chocolate bark rather than candy melts- and I haven’t ever had problems with cracking or much sweating.
Also, I have kept them in an airtight container on the counter overnight and they kept fine.

They are a huge hit with everyone. A few friends think they are too sweet, but we all know there’s no such thing as too sweet.
Anyone can make this recipe, it doesn’t involve any degree of difficulty but it is very tedious. I’ve never heard any complaints like I have, but I’ve made these many times and always have the same problems.
1. The chocolate shell on the outside always cracks. You freeze or chill your cake mixture in balls, and then you dip them in melted chocolate or bark of some type and you let them set in the fridge and they crack.
2. If there is even a tiny pin hole where you missed the outer shell, the filling oozes out like Playdoh hair. So with the cracks and oozing, I always have to do damage control with my melted chocolate. All the added chocolate makes for a very thick and heavy shell.
3. The cake balls sweat as they are left out of the fridge. Despite the company, you’ll always have some dirty jokes thrown at you.

If you are making the cake pop version they are difficult to display upright. I made these the first time for a baby shower and displayed them on foam cones to make cake pop trees. With the sweating, cracking, and gravity, they didn’t last very long! It’s best to keep them in the fridge and not use them for decoration.

If I’m the only one that deals with these problems (every single time) I’d love some tips on how to avoid them!

I’ve tried various flavors, and the red velvet has always been the favorite. Thanks, Bakerella!!

Yes, I actually have cakeball-groupies!
