Pretty good, but there are a few things I would change to meet my own preference. Put less frosting in the cake so it is more cake-y. And I would use actual chocolate instead of almond bark. It is just too fake.

These were pretty and tasted okay but i will never make them again. I froze the balls as suggested by others but once they hit the melted chocolate they instantly started to melt. I used red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting dipped in white chocolate and had quite a red and white mess! It took forever to get them to look okay. I much prefer the cookie balls from this site for taste, texture and ease in making.

These were wonderful. I used a yellow cake and chocolate icing. I put the dough in the refrigerator to chill before making the balls and then again before dipping them. It seemed to make it a little easier. Then I dipped some in white chocolate bark and the rest in milk chocolate. I did find the milk chocolate worked better because the white hardened too quickly, I may not have heated it high enough. But the cake mixed in the the white chocolate coating. I can't wait to make these again with different flavors!

very good but very time consuming

These were very good and very easy. I used a German Chocolate cake with the pecan coconut icing with milk chocolate on the outside. Because I froze the balls before dipping, it was super easy! I will make these again, trying new combinations. I'm thinking orange with chocolate.

My neighbor told me about this recipe two years ago. I tried it for my son's 2nd grade Christmas party and have been asked to bring them every year since. I even have special requests from family to make sure cake balls are at all family functions. I am looking forward to trying the different combinations mentioned in the other reviews. These make great bake sale items if placed in individual baggies and use a twist tie in seasonal colors or school colors.

We did chocolate cake with white icing and semi sweet chocolate chips to dip them. WOW!!! All the way through the recipe I kept thinking they were going to be awful - they looked awful until done.

These didn't turn out for me. In fact, I never finished making them. They were nothing like cake the minute I mixed them with the frosting. I'm wondering if it's b/c I used homemade frosting? Everything dissolved into a lump and tasted more like butter than anything else. Even after refrigerating, they wouldn't form a ball, so they were too difficult to dip as well. They were just mush.

Was a great recipe, I did follow other suggestions to refrigerate for several hours before making the balls, I am glad I did. I did the yellow cake/chocolate frosting dipped in chocolate, a little to rich for my taste, so I followed with an orange cake mixed with buttercream frosting dipped in white candy coating. Very good, plan to make these for Christmas using red velvet cake.

I'm giving this 5 stars because people were gobbling them up. They loved them! I actually didn't care for them too much, but I guess everyone else did. They were a huge hit!

I had to make dessert for 60-70 people at a shower and knew I would be pressed for time. I made these Cake Balls a week before and froze them (with coating and all). I took them out of the freezer 2 hours before the shower and they were fantastic! I made the recipe exactly as stated and then a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. I added toasted pecans to the icing/cake mixture and the texture on them were phenomenal. Very nice to make ahead! 4 stars because they still took a long time to make, and were very rich. You couldn't eat more than 1 (maybe two). I might would make them more bite size next time as well as the cake gets on your teeth when you eat them. They were ALL EATEN! Thanks for the recipe!

Well, we didn't let the cake set so they were super gooey. Good, but could be better if the insides were a little less dense.

This recipe was good, but I used half of the frosting and thought it was too much frosting. Next time i'll try 1/3 of the frosting noted on the recipe. Also it was hard to get a clean coat of chocolate over the cake balls.

OH MY GOSH! These are soooo! good. Will diffently be making again and again....{9-15-08}I needed to up date this. I made the "peanut butter frosting" on this site{very good, used 2c's powdered sugar} Let the cake cool a little while thou, then add the "pbf".Tastes in a way like peanut butter cups.But I think the can frosting works better.

Very rich! These are like super moist and rich decadent donut holes! Very easy to make, I actually forgot the recipe at home but mom and I just winged it. We used both white and chocolate coating for the outside, and I think the plain chocolate is much better. We only let them cool in the fridge for 1/2 hour before forming balls, then another 1/2 hour or so before dipping. They could have chilled/froze longer, but it worked fine and none fell apart until the very last one. I usually have a huge sweet tooth and have no problem eating sweets, but these were too sweet and rich to consume a lot, maybe 1 or 2 and stick a fork in me! My dad, who normally isn't big on sweets, absolutely LOVES them, he can't stop eating them! I can't wait to try different variations!

I'm not a big fan of these. The pics looked great, so I thought I'd try it. I made two batches -- funfetti cake with strawberry frosting and vanilla bark. Those were way too sweet, I threw most of the cake away before frosting them. The second batch was devils food cake mix with cream cheese frosting and chocolate bark. These are very good, taste almost like donut holes. But, by the time I got to them, I was so tired of making them. While the latter batch tasted good, it wasn't worth the amount of time put into them.
