Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Prepare the red velvet cake mix according to package instructions, pouring the batter into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack, which should take about 1 hour.
- Once the cake has cooled, break it into pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to crumble the cake into fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large chunks remaining.
- Add 1 cup of cream cheese frosting to the bowl of crumbled cake. Mix the frosting and cake crumbs together until fully combined. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes.
- Check the consistency of the mixture. If it feels too crumbly, gradually add more frosting, one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place each cake ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the cake balls are shaped, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour, or until the balls are completely firm.
- Set up a double boiler over medium heat and add your white chocolate chips. Stir constantly as they melt until smooth.
- Using a toothpick, carefully dip each frozen cake ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle your favorite decorations onto the dipped cake balls before the chocolate hardens.
