C is for Cakeballs

Who am I kidding.....my downfall has always been cake. Wedding cake, birthday cake, and day cake......cake cake cake! J is not a sweets person, and he does not like chocolate much at all. However, he absolutely loves funfetti cake. We even tossed around the idea of having a funfetti wedding cake. So when I saw a recipe on Pintrest for funfetti cake balls my mouth watered just a little bit.

I was off work on monday for MLK day and I decided I would try my hand at making these yummy looking balls. It was not hard at all and they were a big hit. (I am so happy that after 2 days in Columbia, MO J has eatten most of them.)

I made a vanilla box cake according to the directons on the box. Crumbled it up in a big bowl and added rainbow sprinkles and 1.5 cups of vanilla frosting. Stir it all up and then roll into small balls and place on wax paper. I put them on a cookie sheet and placed that in the freezer for like 30 minutes to harden up some. You then melt vanilla almond bark, and I added a little bit of canola oil so it would not be too too thick. Dip the cake balls in the gooey bark and let them harden (again on wax paper). While still wet, I sprinkled more sprinkles. They were yummy in the tummy and I will make again for parties. I needed a trial run first.

And I am thankful I didn't eat all of them on monday!
