I made a pistachio chocolate bundt cake that burned and cut off the burnt part and made these with chocolate frosting. Rolled them in chopped pistachio nuts. They were such a hit! Also did white cake with white frosting. I put almond flavoring in the frosting. When making the balls I put a half of a marachino cherry in the middle. Another hit! I refrigerated before rolling...much easier...froze all the different varieties for the holiday and will add them to my holiday cookie platters to give away! Easy!

Ok,this is the only review you need to read.I have the tips to solve all the problems. Make your cake in 2 round cake pans, take them out of pans,put on wax paper for 30 mins.Crumble COMPLETELY in bowl & add a dollop of frosting at a time.Mix well after each dollop until you can roll a ball around in your hand like making meatballs.Don't be a ninny and add the whole container, you'll be sorry you did.If frosting is added a bit at a time, you will have the chance to stop at a good rolling consistency that will stick together and you wont need all that 'put in the fridge or freezer before you coat them with chocolate' nonsense.Use regular choc morsels,melt them in the microwave under watchful eye at about 50% power,checking & stirring every 10-15 secs or so.Solve the toothpick or fork dilemma by simply putting them in a round foil cake pan 1 in. apart & coaxing the chocolate over the top and down the sides with a spoon. Stick in the freezer for 30 mins to set and you have a disgustingly orgasmic dessert that will make others draw back a nub if they try and touch one while in your hands. My FAV-Dark Chocolate Fudge cake w/milk chocolate frosting and half/half milk chocolate morsels & Andes mint chocolate pieces for the coating. I also pushed a maraschino cherry coated in white chocolate glaze into the middle of the balls, & stuck a sliver of Dove dark chocolate into the top before coating. I am sitting here now with chocolate all over my lips with a nasty Cheshire cat grin!! ;)

I'm sorry to rate this recipe so low, but I feel that the amount of work involved was too much for the so-so end result. The taste of the cake balls was certainly "boxed" and I think everyone could tell they were made with "bought" ingredients. I would have rather spent my time on a unique cookie or pie. Sorry!

I followed the directions for the most part. I used 1/2 a can of frosting. These were way too time consuming and not that great. The inside was so mushy.. it reminded me of thick cake batter. I tried freezing them afterward,hoping it would somehow help..No luck.

Very yummy! And super moist too. I made it with German Chocolate cake and coconut pecan frosting dipped in chocolate coating. I sprinkled some with coconut, some with pecans, and left some plain.

I really wanted to like these! I made them for a retirement luncheon at work, and I'm not even going to take them. These are just mushy, soggy blobs of cake dipped in chocolate. They are way too sweet and the texture is just strange. I would've given only 1 star, but the kids did eat them. I wish I had taken the time to read some of the negative reviews first. This recipe is way too much work for mediocre at best) results. Sorry.

I give this 5 stars because of the taste and the dessert altogether.These cake balls came out perfectly, until the chocolate. I found it un-neccasary to let the cake cool completely. I waited only about 5 mins. until I mixed the icing. I made a red velvet cake and had to use a whole container of whipped cream cheese icing. I also didnt need to chill the mixture before forming it into balls. I didnt have a melon baller, but a tablespoon worked just as well. I made enough to fill one cookie sheet and put it in the fridge while the I formed the other ones. Then it was time for the chocolate. On other reviews I read that if you use chocolate chips, you have to add shortening. I didnt have shortening, so I used margarine. It seized up, so I used milk. That was a mess, so I microwaved it. It came out more like a glaze, which, I want too disappointed. I dipped them with little problems, other than not having enough glaze and put them back in the fridge. I was happy with the overall taste and didnt really care about the look. These were great, and I will be making another batch soon.

I made these with left over cake scraps from 2 cake orders that I had and took the balls into work the next day. I had enough cake left to make a double batch so I made one with chocolate frosting and one with cherry frosting. They were gone quickly and extremely liked! I'm so glad that I have a quick and easy recipe to use left over cake! No more waste in the garbage!

These were very pretty. I had to put the cake and frosting in the fridg over night to get them to stay together well enough to dip. They look very pretty but are WAY too sweet to eat. Won't be making again.

I'm rating this recipe 5 stars for taste and ease.; they didn't look great. I love the versatility of this recipe & although I used devil's food cake, milk chocolate frosting and chocolate almond bark, I think I'm going to try different flavors next time. Also, I think I'm going to have to read up on using melted chocolate cause mine wasn't easy to dip.

I've been making a variation on this for a while....what I found to be easier than trying to dip them in chocolate is to buy an inexpensive chocolate mould in the shape of a little peanut butter cup. I bought mine for a couple dollars at the bulk food store. Fill that 2/3 full of melted chocolate, place a semi-frozen cake ball in and push down slightly. Then pop the tray back in the freezer so the chocolate hardens quickly. Then you hold the chocolate part and dip into white chocolate. I dip it twice in the white chocolate because I find once just doesn't cover it nicely. After the second dipping, sprinkle whatever you want on the top. Soooo much easier than trying to dip balls and not drop them/break them, etc.

I love how versatile these are! I make a lot of cakes so have scraps galore or whole cakes from trying a new recipe that "just wasn't perfect". These are the perfect solution! To make these adult desserts, try mixing flavored liquers in the icing. Kahlua (and a bit of coffee), Amaretto and Bailey's were my favorites. I used homade vanilla buttercream and vanilla cake, but store-bought would work just as well. Also, orange extract and a bit of orange coloring, or nutella (in choc cake) would be great. Cover in chocolate and YUM!
