- ½ cup wilton pink candy melts
- ½ cup wilton bright pink candy melts

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cake mix onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Allow it to cool on a wire rack.

- Cover the cake mix dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Scoop the dough into balls using a cookie scoop and roll them smooth. Set aside for 15 minutes before coating.
- Melt the vanilla melting wafers using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Dip each dough ball into the melted wafers and place them on lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles on half before the coating sets.
- Melt the pink candy melts in piping bags, drizzle over remaining coated cake balls.
- Allow to set completely before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cake mix is heat-treated by baking for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria.
Chilling the dough is essential for easier handling and prevents cracking during coating.
