Ingredients
Scale
-
1 (18.25-ounce) box red velvet or yellow cake mix (plus ingredients called for on box)
-
1 (12-ounce) can frosting (any flavor)
-
12 ounces white chocolate melting disks
-
Assorted gel icing, for decorating
Instructions
- Bake the Cake
Prepare and bake the cake according to the package directions. Let it cool completely. - Crumble the Cake
In a large bowl, crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork. - Mix in Frosting
Add about half of the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix well. Add more frosting if needed until the mixture sticks together but is not overly wet. - Form Cake Balls
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. - Melt the White Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate disks in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. - Coat the Cake Balls
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate to fully coat. Tap off excess and place back on parchment paper. - Decorate with Gel Icing
Before the chocolate sets, decorate the eyeballs with gel icing to create pupils, veins, or spooky designs. - Allow to Set
Let the coated cake eyeballs set completely at room temperature or speed up with refrigeration. - Serve or Store
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
If white chocolate thickens, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to smooth it out.
Work quickly while coating before chocolate hardens.
Store cake eyeballs refrigerated for freshness.
