Not every cake is going to come out of the pan perfect, and sometimes we just want something more manageable than a whole slice of cake. As a fun alternative, you can make Cake Pops!
Crumble entire cake into very small pieces with your hands
Mix in Cream Cheese Glaze until you have a nice dough of a workable consistency
Form 1 – 1 ¼ inch balls with a cooky scoop or your hands
Roll the cake balls in granulated sugar since they will resemble meatballs
These are delicious since you get some cake, icing, and the sugar with each bite!!
