One day, I had picked up a red velvet cake mix on a whim not knowing exactly what I’d do with it. I wanted something new and with Valentine’s Day approaching, it seemed like a good idea. Then I thought of cake balls, sometimes also called cake truffles. They are deliciously decadent two-bite morsels of cake and frosting and chocolate. You’re going to love these, and so will your sweetheart!

Making cake balls can be time consuming, which is why I start with a boxed mix. You can use your own homemade cream cheese frosting, or pick up a can at the grocery store. Either way, you’re going to love these decadent Red Velvet Cake Balls. Cake balls are so much easier to make than cake pops because you don’t have to worry about them staying on the stick. How gloriously amazing to mix red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and cover them with white chocolate. It’s downright sinful, which is perfect for a day that’s all about love! While I don’t recommend having kids help with the candy melts, making the cake and rolling the cake balls, and of course adding sprinkles are all fun ways to get the kids involved.

How to Make Red Velvet Cake Balls:

These Red Velvet Cake Balls have been very popular and were featured on InspiringCooks.com. That’s when I decided to make a video show how easy it is to make these cake balls.

If I were rich and famous, I would eat cake truffles like these every day. Maybe not always red velvet cake and white chocolate though. I mean, I’m an equal opportunity kind of chocolate lover! (If you love pumpkin spice, you’ll want to try my Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cale Truffles). With my sweet tooth, there’s not really a cake and chocolate combo I don’t love.

But I digress so let’s get back to these red velvet babies, shall we? There’s something about Valentine’s Day that makes me dream of red velvet. Mr. Juggling Act is more of an ice cream sundae kind of guy, but me, I want cake and I like it rich. Biting into one of these you have the crack of the chocolate and then the dense texture of the red velvet cake and frosting in the middle. Oh my! I could go on and on about my love for these sweets but you want the recipe, right? Without anymore fuss, here’s how to make my red velvet cake balls!
