cake bites...an idea for easter

This morning while at Starbucks, I came accross these adorable little munchkin size cake bites on a stick.  Gave me an idea for Easter, make these little cake balls and decorate them to look like little mini Easter eggs.  So I got on google and searched these little suckers and came up with an abundance of recipes.  My favorite results and not to mention most gorgeous blog was http://www.bakerella.com/

Here's a recipe for cake bites from Bakerella.  You can use any cake mix and frosting you desire.  Check out the site as they have many many recipes and instructions to make all sorts of yummy festive balls.

Cake Balls

1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate) or you can use those colored chocolate melts
wax paper

Directions

1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper, but I like to hand roll them.)
4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)
