Can I make these in advance?

Yes! You can make the cake balls ahead of time and freeze them for up to 2 weeks before decorating.

Can I use homemade cake and frosting?

Absolutely. Any moist cake and creamy frosting will work well.

Mini cake cones (the flat-bottomed kind) are ideal because they’re easy to stand upright.
