Dipping Cake Balls the easy Way!

Ok, I have baked my cake, mixed in my frosting and then made cake balls with a 1 inch scoop. I place them on parchment paper lined trays and put them in the freezer for several hours. I don't like to use the spoons and this is the easiest way I have found to dip the cake balls.
Place your melts into the Wilton melter, I have tried microwaving, this works the best for me. You can get them at Wal-Mart or Michaels. They have two settings melt, and warm.
Your melts are now all smooth and melted! Ready for the dipping!
Skewer your frozen cake ball with the bamboo skewers you can use for the grill.
Dip your frozen cake ball into the melts! Tap it off. Give it a little swirl as you finish.

Place the dipped cake ball onto a tray with parchment paper added.
When you pull the skewer out it leaves a hole soooooo..........
Have a bowl of sprinkles or sanding sugar ready to dip your cake balls in!
Redip the cake ball into the melts!
After you dip them in the melts, you dip them in the sprinkles!

This is what they look like finished and ready to eat!

Is the balls raw or baked? A bit confused about the cake balls. Love the idea

The cake balls are made out of a baked cake and frosting, You bake a cake - I do it in a sheet cake pan and then let it cool for about 10 minutes. I put it back in my mixer with canned frosting. Mix it up and then form the balls. I freeze them so they dip better. Flavors include: cherry cake/frosting dipped in chocolate, lemon cake/strawberry frosting, dipped in vanilla, red velvet cake/cream cheese frosting dipped in chocolate. The mix's are endless.
