Using the right type of pan is key to making these fun cake balls. You’ll need a nonstick pan that has been greased with vegetable oil and is well-lined with baking paper. This helps ensure your cakes will bake evenly and don’t stick to the pan. You may also need to use a ring to prevent the pan from rolling and tipping over in the oven.
How to Make a Hemisphere Cake
For this cake you need a large round cake and some frosting. Start by spreading a thick layer of yellow buttercream over the top of a flat, slightly larger than an 8 inch cake. Once this has hardened, stack another piece of cake on top to form a ball shape. Place the board in the fridge to firm up the icing. Then use a small palette knife to spread another layer of buttercream all over the cake and place in the fridge again until firm.
Then, trim off a small part of the top dome of your cake to shape it into a sphere. You want to get all the crumbs off of the cake and have a smooth surface to frost. Once the cake is all shaped, you can fill it with sprinkles for added fun!
You can add sprinkles to any of the layers of this cake or even decorate the top of the cake with them. Just make sure you don’t overdo it and get too many, otherwise they’ll be too messy!
How to Make a Chocolate Cake Ball
This chocolate cake ball recipe is a classic, and it’s easy to make. It’s perfect for any occasion, and you can use any type of cake or frosting you want. You can even mix different cake and frosting flavors for a new twist on this classic treat.
To make these cake pops, you need a cake pop mold and candy melts that are melted to a medium to thick consistency. I recommend Ghirardelli melting wafers that come in both white and dark colors, but you can also use other candy melts or even melted chocolate.
For dipping, you need a bowl with a wide rim that is at least three to four inches deep. You can also use a bowl with a lip that is wider than the height of your cake balls.
When dipping your cake balls, you need to make sure you dip them in the candy coating in one motion without stirring. This will help to keep the cake balls from sinking down into the candy melts and getting all over your kitchen counter!
You can also dip the outside of your cake ball in a little bit of melted candy or melted chocolate. I love Ghirardelli melting wafers for this because they taste like real chocolate, and they are very easy to work with!
