Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for your cake mix.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and oil, mixing until smooth.

Making Cake Balls

  2. Add the frosting to the crumbled cake and mix well until every crumb is coated.
  3. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls or egg shapes, about 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Freeze the cake balls for about 30 minutes until they firm up.
Coating and Finishing
