How to Make Cake Balls

 

First start by making the cake balls:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Make the cake batter according to the cake mix box.

Split the batter into 4 bowls.

Add 1 drop of gel food coloring into 1 of each bowl.

Mix until combined.

Scoop each color into 1 cupcake liner, 3 liners per color.

Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees for 21 minutes.

Remove from the cupcakes and let cool.

Place each color of cupcakes into their own bowl, paper peeled off and crumble the cake.

Add 1/2 Tbsp. frosting to the crumbled cake.

Combined until dough like.

Take a small spoon and scoop some of each of the colored cake mix and mold together into a ball.

Continue until all cake mix is formed into balls.

Place onto a plate and place into the freezer for 30 minutes until solid.

Prepare the chocolate

Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate.

Pull out the cake balls and set onto the counter next to the melted chocolate.

Take cake pop stick and dip one end into the chocolate, push the cake pop stick end with the melted chocolate into cake ball.

We like to use a floral foam to place our cake pops in as they harden.

Place back into the freezer until chocolate is hard.

Pull cake balls back out and dip into the melted chocolate.

Lightly tap the stick onto the edge of the pot with the melted chocolate so that the extra chocolate falls off.

Push bottom of stick into the floral foam block to hold the stick.

Sprinkle some confetti sprinkles on top of the cake pop.

Repeat with remaining cake balls.

Once the chocolate is hardened, slowly pull out the sticks for cake balls or leave in for cake pops – Enjoy!

Instagram post 2193038191431022868_4768974 What are your favorite kind of Christmas cookies?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I love spending an entire day just listening to Christmas music and baking up all kind of deliciousness during the holidays. It is one of the things I look forward to most this time of year. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I am spending some time today coming up with my baking plan, which will include all of the things I want to make this year and all of the ingredients I will need to do so.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Then I will keep this list in my purse so I always have it on hand to look at when I stop at a store that might have something on my list. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can find such great deals on baking supplies at the grocery stores this year, so it is a great time to stock up on your baking essentials for the next 6 - 12 months. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I am so glad I learned to shop the sales this way, that way I wasn't paying full price for the same thing a month later. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Do you do this too?⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ OH!! Don't forget to grab the Cookie Recipe Book that I am giving away to anyone that wants a copy. The link is in my bio, or comment below and I can send it to you directly.

Instagram post 2190026987661677894_4768974 #ad I am loving my new @OralB GENIUS Pro 8000 Rechargeable Toothbrush. The brush is equipped with Position Detection Technology to showcase the areas I missed, to ensure I never miss a zone again! I have to say it is a fun challenge trying to get a 100% score, so far I am doing pretty good at 97%...but I am not giving up until I get a perfect 100%!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ It also monitors how hard you are brushing with the visible pressure sensor, which is super important to me. TODAY ONLY, there is a really great Cyber Monday sale for this brush over at @Target today! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ If you are interested in learning more, I’ll share the link in my bio for you. I seriously never thought I would say it, but I cannot imagine ever going back to a manual toothbrush again, my teeth feel like I just left the dentist every time I use this. ⁠⠀
Instagram post 2188021891289945905_4768974 I was up early this morning searching for all of the best Black Friday deal online. I love being able to shop in my pajamas while I enjoy leftover pie with my coffee. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ No crazy crowds for me. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Are you finding any great deals today?
