How to Make Cake Balls
  1. Bake the Cake: Prepare the Funfetti cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake it in the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Form the Dough: Once the cake is fully cooled, crumble it into a large mixing bowl. Combine the crumbled cake with the Funfetti vanilla frosting until a soft, dough-like consistency forms.
  3. Shape into Balls: Using your hands, take portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate or freeze the cake balls for 2-3 hours until they are firm.
  5. Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy coating until it’s smooth and glossy.
  6. Dip and Decorate: Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment and sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
  7. Serve: Allow the candy coating to set completely before serving. Enjoy the delightful treats with family and friends!
