Today is Fat Tuesday! You know, the last day to party hard before the 40 days of Lent begin. So, in the spirit of parties, I am hoping that you can fit some of these fun, Fat Tuesday Cake Balls into your celebrating!

White Buttercream Frosting

Yellow Cake~Baked (9x13)

16 ounces bag White Chocolate Morsels 

Purple, Yellow Gold, and Green Food Color

Purple, Yellow Gold, and Green Sugar Topping

White Buttercream Frosting

1/2 cup Solid Vegetable Shortening

1 stick Butter (softened)

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

4 cups Confectioner's Sugar

2 tablespoon Milk

 Make frosting by mixing together the butter and 

shortening until combined. Add vanilla.

Add sugar a cup at a time until completely mixed 

together. Add milk a teaspoon at a time until you

reach your desired consistency. Divide the frosting 

in to 3 equal portions. Color each portion. One green,

one yellow, and one purple.

Crumble your baked yellow cake into 3 separate bowls.

Take some of the yellow frosting and add it to the

bowl of crumbled cake. Mix it together with your

hands until all of the cake is yellow. Do this again with 

the green and the purple.

Scoop the cake frosting mix using a small 

scoop on to a cookie sheet. Then roll the scoops into

 balls as shown above.

Melt your white chocolate in a double boiler.

Start dipping the cake balls in the white chocolate.

Place back on parchment.

Sprinkle the tops of the cake balls with

 green, yellow and purple sugar.

Allow them time to dry completely.

Here are the insides of the cake balls!

Have a fun Mardi Gras!
