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!
