BIRTHDAY CAKE TRUFFLES

I’m telling y’all,  June has been chock full of birthdays in my world.  There have been at least 2 birthdays a week so far, so I decided I needed to make something that was easy but fun and a little different to help in all of the many, many, many celebrations. 

I loved my Strawberry Cake Truffles so much, I figured that I could recreate them except with funfetti cake, because nothing says celebration like copious amounts of sprinkles.  Y’all these turned out sooo delicious, they taste just like birthday cake, except maybe better. 

The only thing that didn’t turn out how I wanted was the color of the cake.  I was really hoping the cake would be full of all the colors of the sprinkles (I threw in extra btw) and instead, the colors melded together and became off white, but, oh well. 

To make up for the lack of colors in the cake I decided to make the almond bark a fun color, and I’ve been wanting to use my turquoise food coloring for forever so woohoo.  Obviously, you can make these whatever color you like best, totally up to you.  Definitely make these, too easy, too fun and too delicious not to sorry for all of the too’s.  Happy Monday!

First, cake batter into the bowl (you can see my extra sprinkles that melded together)…

now add eggs, oil and water…

all mixed together…

into the pan…

once cooled, crumble it up into your bowl…

now add the cream cheese…

all mixed up, sigh, no more sprinkles…

rolled into balls to freeze…

almond bark and shortening into the bowl…

all melted…

now with food coloring…

now all of the cake balls dipped and decorated, yummm!!!

Enjoy!!!

THE CAKE TRUFFLES

1. 1 Package of Funfetti Cake Mix.
2. 1 Cup of Water.
3. 1/2 Cup of Vegetable Oil.
4. 3 Eggs.
5. 3/4 Cup of Pillsbury Cream Cheese Frosting.
6. 9x13 Baking Pan.

THE COATING

1. 20 Ounces of Almond Bark, Cut Into Smaller Pieces.
2. 1/2 Cup of Vegetable Shortening.
3. Turquoise/Blue Food Coloring (Optional).
4. Sprinkles For Decorating (Optional).

FOR THE CAKE TRUFFLES

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray your 9x13 baking pan with non stick spray, set aside.
3. With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment, place your cake mix into the bowl.
4. Now add the water, oil, eggs and mix until combined.
5. Pour your cake batter into your pan and bake for 22-25 minutes (I took mine out at 24), let cool completely.
6. Once your cake has cooled, crumble it with your hands into a large mixing bowl, add your cream cheese frosting and mix until evenly blended.
7. Line a large pan with wax or parchment paper and roll your cake mixture into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on paper.
8. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour.
9. With a double boiler or a small bowl on top of boiling water, place your bark and vegetable shortening into the bowl, stirring until melted, if you are adding food coloring to your bark do so now and mix well.
10. One at a time, dip your cake balls into the almond bark evenly covering them, and place them back on the parchment paper to set, if you are adding more sprinkles make sure to do now.
11. Let set and enjoy!

Notes

1. You can use whatever color you like for the almond bark, it definitely doesn't have to be turquoise.
