Cake Balls

Take a bit of cupcake fun, a touch of truffle-like delicious-ness, and a whole heap of creative possibilities, roll them all together and you have yourself a Cake Ball!

Which is exactly what we did one night after the boys were in bed up in South Carolina last week.

All you need is a boxed cake mix, a container of frosting, some dipping chocolate and if you want some like ours you'll need coconut.

Bake the cake according to the box directions.

Then comes the fun part:

Crumble it all up!

Then mix in the frosting.

Here's our funfetti mixture...

We also did a German chocolate cake mix.

Roll into balls and freeze.

We rolled the chocolate cake balls in shredded coconut before freezing.

Here's Brittany hard at work rolling the balls late that night.

Marvin the dog was sticking close to Sherri's side hoping she'd drop something!

Final results!

Or you can melt the chocolate and dip the cake balls if you prefer. Basically you can create any combination of cake, frosting and coating you want!
