Are Cake Balls Cooked
Yes, cake balls are made from cooked cake.
You typically start by baking a cake, allowing it to cool, and then crumbling it into fine pieces.
You mix the crumbled cake with frosting to form a dough-like consistency, roll the mixture into balls, and then chill them.

After chilling, you can dip the cake balls in chocolate or candy melts to coat them before serving.
Can Cake Balls Be Frozen
Yes, cake balls can be frozen! To freeze them, place the dipped or undecorated cake balls in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid.
Then, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
