Cake Balls
My granddaughter spent the night with me, and we made some patriotic cake ball treats to have with a cup of tea, to have for Memorial Day. The lavender topiary was a Mother's Day gift from my daughter.
A friend mailed this Poppy teacup to me after my beloved husband passed away back in 2013. Isn't it beautiful, and such a loving remembrance of loved ones and perfect for Memorial Day.
Cissy loves having breakfast in bed at Nana's house. She has her tea for one set filled with her favorite Vanilla Chai tea. Of course, she likes to top it with whipped cream.
Yield: 3-4 dozen
Cake Balls
These are fun little treats and are varied by flavor of cake choice and sprinkles used.
Ingredients:
- 1 box of cake mix (we used red velvet) + ingredients to make the cake
- 1 cup of prepared frosting (we used vanilla, but cream cheese would be good)
- Almond Bark (we used vanilla)
- Sprinkles of your choice
Instructions:
- Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, but using a 9 x 13" pan.
- Let the cake cool on a cooling rack.
- After the cake is cool, crumble it up into a large bowl.
- Add the 1 cup of prepared frosting and mix well. Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to make it easier to form the balls.
- Form the balls and place on parchment or waxed paper lined baking sheets. At this point you could freeze the balls and dip them later, if you wish.
- Melt the Almond Bark according to package directions.
- Dip the balls into the melted almond bark. We found that using a fork worked well. Place the cake balls onto the sheets, and immediately sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles.
- Let the cake balls harden, and then refrigerate them. I even freeze them for longer storage.
- Enjoy!
I am sharing this with these lovely parties:

Pretzel Shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day
Please join me for a cup of Irish Tea and some quick and easy shamrock pretzel treats. It's still a little chilly and damp here, so we will sit by the fire.
You can choose this Belleek teacup....
....or maybe you'd like this very old Johnson Bros Rolland teacup, which has Celtic knots?
My beloved mom gave this kissing leprechaun couple so many years ago.
My late beloved hubby posed by this knight in shining armor, when we were on our trip to Ireland in 2009, because he was my Knight!
I had the pleasure of keeping my two youngest granddaughters a week ago while my youngest son planted 146 shrubs/plants in his backyard. Even little Hayden wanted a cup of tea in her "yellow" cup.
Harper loves projects and here she is making our easy pretzel treats.
Didn't the shamrocks turn out so cute?? My friend, Joy, sent me a picture of these because she knows that I like to do fun things with my grands. Thanks, Joy! All you do is place the three pretzels and the stick pretzel together on parchment paper, place a Rolo in the center and put them in a 250 degree oven for 3-5 minutes. Mine did better with 5 minutes. When they come out, you place a green M&M in the middle and press to "glue" the pieces together. You can then stick the tray in the freezer to harden quickly.
Here is sweet Hayden.
Here is sweet Harper.
I hope all of you will have a Happy St. Patrick's Day, and remain healthy and happy in the midst of all that's going on in the world. Let's pray for an end to the coronavirus.
