Foodie Friday: Cake Balls

Ok so this is a little late, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise by having it up on the blog.

To celebrate my dad's belated birthday, I made cake balls. Yummy, gooey cake balls.

It was really simple, yet time consuming, and that was even with being lazy and using store bought cake mix and frosting.

First, I baked a regular vanilla cake. After letting it cool for about 20 minutes, I destroyed it. Really. I tore it out of the pan, but it in a bowl, and beat it into crumbs.

Then, I mixed it together with a jar of vanilla frosting with sprinkles (in a separate package on top). I saved the sprinkles for decorating later. Once the frosting was evenly incorporated, I rolled it into 1 - 1 1/2 inch balls. This made about 35 balls. Then, I put them in the freezer over night.

The next evening, I melted some white bark to cover them. I improvised, and stabbed them in the middle with a wooden skewer. This I removed once I placed the covered ball on a sheet of wax paper. To hide the ugly hole, I used a spoon to put on some more bark. I finished it off with sprinkles (while still wet so they would stick).

I repeated this same process with the chocolate bark.

 And voila! Yummy cake balls that even Adam enjoyed!
