I love these so much! You can use all kinds of cake and frosting combinations - whatever your favorites are!
Plus they are freezable so even if you make a large batch you can save some for another time!
I've been so inspired by Martha (and Bakerella) that I've been experimenting with different methods and flavor combos plus testing out some of the products available at my Cake Pop Recipes blog!... The opportunities are endless!
Thank you Martha!

I could not locate a small cookie cutter. So I just made regular cake pops check them out on my blog with pictures. http://loveandpastry.blogspot.com/2011/04/cake-pops.html

Buy a box cake mix, then as per say in the directions up above, dip them in a harddening chocolate or almond candy melt. I don't know if I'm calling it right or not, but the white almond melt is on the baking aisle at stores (I get it at Wal-mart above chocolate chips) can be colored for different holidays. Makes for a good fruit dip or pretzels and so on =]

I use this recipe when I make a chocolate cake. It is a hit even with people who don't really have a sweet tooth. The cake isn't overly sweet, but has a nice chocolatey flavour. I use the Billy's Chocolate Buttercream recipe for the icing and it is a hit too!

I made these last night and brought them to work. They where a hit. I emailed a coworker the link and she discovered a mistake I made. I had mentioned to her I used cream chesse to bind the (devils food) cake. I completely missed the fact that is was cream chesse frosting. I didnt have any problems and they tasted great.

I had the same issue with the mushy consistency. I used a Box Cake and 1 can of icing...trying another batch with less icing....i'll see if that works.

i used less cream cheese frosting then directed....the mixture was really soft so just add a little bit of frosting at a time until you can roll them into little balls...

Maybe you had too much frosting for the amount of cake you used. In n n n n n ve made cake balls a lot and always used one can of frosting to go with a 13 X 9 cake. You can also freeze them for a little while to get them to hold their shape. That always helps me. And In n n n n n ve seen that girln n n n n n s site that made these.. . maybe you can ask her how she did it. Bakerella.blogspot.com

I had the same problem with the mixture being too soft. I did use a boxed cake mix (Duncan Hinz Fudge) - so I'm not sure if that was the problem. Perhaps it would be better to not crumble the cake too much, or use less of the cream cheese mixture?
Also, it did help to freeze the balls for about 20 minutes.
Any tips from those who got it right!?

I tried these twice this weekend and they didn't work. After crumbling the cake in the food processor and adding the cream cheese frosting and refrigerating the balls, they never changed consistency -- too soft. Any ideal what the problem could have been?

Great recipe I made these for my grandfather's 90th birthday and they were a hit

can you use a chocolate cake mix from a box?
