These Easy Funfetti Cake Balls are magical!

Okay, I don’t know what it is about the box mix Funfetti that makes it so addictive and delicious. Like seriously, I could make an entire sheet pan of Funfetti cake, cover it with the amazing icing, and eat the entire cake within 2 days and I am not joking. That is how good that cake is for me. When I am minding my own business and stalking other bloggers like Sally’s Baking Addiction and Cookies and Cups who have some amazing dessert recipes, I am always eyes glued to my computer screen when I see a recipe that is made with cake batter, or Funfetti anything.

I think there is magic in sprinkles. First of all, sprinkles can make anything look pretty and everything looks fun! When I see something covered in sprinkles, I know it is going to be a good time and that I am in for a treat! So when I was in the kitchen, looking a box of Funfetti Cake Mix, I gave a lot of thought as to what else I could do with these besides making a Funfetti Sheet Cake, or Cake Mix Pancakes, or cupcakes. No, I wanted to play around with this $1 box of cake mix and give a new way to enjoy this cake. And theeeen…..

EUREKA! That is when the craziest thing came to my mind and I had to oblige.

Here is a secret about me, whenever I do something sneaky or something that is wild (in my mind) I can’t stop laughing or smiling. It is a very weird and interesting quack I have. Yes, I am calling it a quack because if you saw me in the kitchen making these Easy Funfetti Cake Balls AKA Funfetti Cake Pops, you would call me a quack. It was like I was some sort of diabolical evil baker enjoying shredding the cake mix and watching it come apart. I remember thinking to myself, “Yo son, you are acting mad weird right now.” I just couldn’t help it. I was really excited about these cake balls and couldn’t wait for the final product.

As I was in my mad kitchen taking the form of a mad baker, I decided to bake the cake as instructed on the box, shred it into crumbs, MIX IN THE ICING, combine together, and make little balls out of them. Like who does that?! Where did I come up with this idea?! I must’ve seen it somewhere and it must’ve stuck with me. I wish I could remember where I may have seen this technique, but I can’t. But yes yall, I baked a cake only to shred it apart, I added a canister of icing to the cake mix, made balls out of them, dipped them and white chocolate, and gave birth to these Easy Funfetti Cake Balls that also taste like Funfetti Cake Truffles. If only giving birth to both of my sons were so easy.
