Cake Balls
Cake balls are a confection made from cake crumbs mixed with frosting or other binding agents, typically shaped into small spheres and coated in chocolate or other decorative coverings.
Material:
- Cake: Traditionally made with leftover cake, but can be created with freshly baked cake. Common cake flavors include vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, and funfetti.
- Frosting: Acts as a binder, holding the cake crumbs together. Cream cheese frosting, buttercream, and ganache are frequently used. The type of frosting influences the final taste and texture.
- Coating: Most commonly chocolate (milk, dark, white, flavored). Other coatings include candy melts, sprinkles, crushed nuts, or powdered sugar.
- Optional Ingredients: Extracts (vanilla, almond), sprinkles mixed into the cake ball mixture, chopped candies, or fillings (fruit purees, peanut butter).
Purpose:
- Treat/Dessert: Primarily enjoyed as a sweet treat or dessert.
- Party Food: Popular for celebrations, birthdays, and holidays due to their portability and customizable decorations.
- Repurposing Cake: An effective way to utilize leftover cake scraps.
Function:
The frosting binds the dry cake crumbs, creating a malleable mixture that can be rolled into spheres. The coating provides a finished appearance and adds another layer of flavor and texture.

- Gifting: Often packaged as gifts, particularly during holidays.
