# What You'll Need:
→ Cake Mixture
01 -
1 box white cake mix, prepared as directed and fully cooled
02 -
227 grams (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
→ Coating and Decoration
03 -
454 grams (16 ounces) vanilla almond bark (candy coating)
04 -
Candy eyes, as needed for decoration
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Follow package instructions to bake the white cake mix and allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
02 -
Crumble cooled cake into a large mixing bowl and blend with softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until the mixture reaches a consistent, even texture.
03 -
Using approximately 2 tablespoons per portion, roll the mixture into even balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 -
Transfer the tray to the freezer and chill the cake balls for 30 minutes to ensure they are firm for dipping.
05 -
In a heatproof bowl, melt vanilla almond bark following package instructions until smooth and fluid.
06 -
Using a fork, dip each chilled cake ball into the melted coating. Immediately adhere two candy eyes to each ball while the coating is still wet to create the mummy effect.
07 -
Allow the initial coating to harden slightly. Pour remaining melted coating into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small tip snipped and drizzle over each ball to resemble mummy bandages.
08 -
Permit the finished cake balls to set at room temperature until completely firm before serving.
