Cake Ball Mix-ins

I love trying new cake ball combinations.  I pick the cake flavor, the frosting flavor, and the candy coating flavor.  Sometimes I try mix-ins.  I've tried coconut and I've also tried peppermint chips (peppermint-flavored white chocolate).  The mix-ins add a kick of flavor and can also add color, texture and moisture.  Other mix-ins I might try are mini chocolate chips and toffee chips.  I also think it might be fun to have a mini marshmallow at the center of a cake ball.

Spring Cake Balls

I have made several flavors of cake balls since my cake ball/cake pop obsession started:  chocolate, white, coconut, and red velvet.  I decided to try lemon cake balls since it's spring.  I went with a decoration reminiscent of the Easter cake my mom used to make.

What you will need:

lemon cake
cream cheese frosting
white chocolate for candy making (I use Ghirardelli)
coconut
food color
Jelly Belly spring mix
mini baking cups

See my previous post for links to my favorite recipes and tips.

To decorate:

After I dipped the cake ball, I added coconut that I had tinted green.  Using a little bit of the melted white chocolate, I added the Jelly Bellies.

Here is the finished product:
