Are cake balls hard to make? And are they super time consuming? I would love to make some for the nurses taking care of FIL and MIL's co-workers, but time is an issue these days. Also, can I make them in advance and then put the chocolate on them a day or two later?
Re: Whit and Shelley
I have a couple hundred in my freezer and just take them out when I am ready to put the candy coating on it.
They are comparable to making cupcakes. I think they are pretty easy to make. Making the actual balls are really the most time consuming part but it is not too bad. I have done 500 at a time and survived. Most normal cake mixes can make 60-90 depending on big you make them. I use a melon baller so they are standardized.

Bake and cool the cake. I usually do this in the evening and let it cool overnight.
Mix the cake and frosting by hand and roll into balls, refrigerate overnight
Dip the balls in the chocolate.
They can be frozen once they are dipped.
If I am using a soft cake (like red velvet) I will refrigerate them overnight, then freeze them for a couple hours before dipping. Then I only take them out of the freezer 5 at a time. Otherwise the get warm and soft again. I don't seem to have the issue with regular cakes.
My most popular mixture is devil's food cake with chocolate fudge frosting. And I never used the whipped frostings.
