foodie friday: easter cake balls

i made the chick cake pops from bakerella last year and loved them, but they were very time consuming. this year my sister and i decided to try the cake balls instead. quick and easy and they turned out really cute! i still think i'll do the chick pops for easter for the boys, but at least now i don't feel like i have to since i've already done one easter treat for the year.

we followed this recipe and used boxed red velvet cake mix and canned cream cheese frosting. emily was our little helper! we dipped the cake balls in white chocolate candiquick (since that was what we could find at wal-mart on short notice) and it worked really well. i think it would have been fun to have some of the chocolate be pink or another springy color, but we didn't have any way to change it since you have to use special candy coloring. we decorated with sprinkles and they were done!
