Pink Candy-Coated Cake Bites: Moist Vanilla Cake Balls Dipped in a Pink Candy Shell and Sprinkled with Festive Toppings for Any Celebration

Print Recipe

Pink Candy-Coated Cake Bites are moist vanilla cake balls dipped in a vibrant pink candy coating and topped with festive sprinkles. These bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, birthdays, or any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box: eggs, oil, water)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla frosting
  • 12 oz pink candy melts
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
  • Assorted festive sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vanilla cake according to package instructions and let it cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl until it forms fine crumbs.
  3. Add the vanilla frosting and mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  6. Melt the pink candy melts with coconut oil (if using) according to package instructions until smooth.
  7. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted candy and let the excess drip off.
  8. Place coated cake balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet and immediately top with festive sprinkles before the coating sets.
  9. Let the candy coating harden at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the process.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring to tint white candy melts if pink ones are unavailable.
  • Chilling the cake balls helps keep them from falling apart when dipping.
  • Get creative with sprinkles to match the occasion or theme.
