Finally finished the cake balls today...hooray!
Here are some notes I took on them and pictures of almost every step. (Except for the baking of a 13x9inch cake in the flavor of your choice! I chose Fun-Fetti)
After chilling the cake in the fridge, break it up into tiny crumbs gently with two forks.
Then you add the cream cheese frosting and mix it in thoroughly to make the cake crumbs sticky...easier for rolling them into little balls!
Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
mix & beat for 2-3 minutes 
Once the frosting is blended well enough you can start rolling little cake balls, about the size of a cookie dough ball, before it's been baked.
After rolling all of your cake balls, put them in the freezer for about an hour and then heat the chocolate or whatever you decided to use to coat them!
Today I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and microwaved them in intervals of 40 seconds and stirred until the chocolate was smooth and creamy.
My first cake ball! After dipping into chocolate using two forks to move them through the chocolate, you can decorate with sprinkles or any other edible decorations of your choice!

A few of my finished ones...some decorated with sprinkles
Yummy...
All done! After finishing them all up I put them into the freezer so the chocolate would harden and then they'll be ready to serve in no time!
A few side notes...
The number one thing I would suggest is only taking a few of the cake balls out of the freezer at a time to dip and decorate because I noticed that the longer the cake balls sat out, the less firm they got and the more crumby the dipping chocolate became. I think next time I will drizzle white chocolate over the dark to spice it up a bit...also you can buy little lolli pop sticks at Michael's so they are easier to dip and eat!
PS. I added the Banana Pudding Pie Recipe to the post from yesterday, check it out!
Happy Baking! :)
