Cake Balls are popping up everywhere and I finally got a good recipe from a friend that made them over the weekend with her 4 year old daughter. She said they were super easy, just a little time consuming. She found the lollipop sticks and plastic bags to wrap each individually at Walmart! The recipe can be experimented with other flavors! Guess what I am doing this week!!! Happy Monday! xoxo, Julie

UPDATE: We made the vanilla ones and they are the yummiest, cutest, most fun things ever! A few tips-make sure to make the balls about gumball-sized, only stick the sticks in half-way through each ball and freeze for a good hour. We had a problem with the sticks falling through the balls when we were covering with melted almond bark-so I'm pretty sure those tips will help you. We ended up making those with stick problems in to upside down cake balls!
