White Buttercream Frosting
Yellow Cake~Baked (9×13)
16 ounces bag White Chocolate MorselsÂ
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 andÂ
shortening until combined. Add vanilla.
Add sugar a cup at a time until completely mixedÂ
together. Add milk a teaspoon at a time until you
reach your desired consistency. Divide the frostingÂ
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 withÂ
the green and the purple.
Scoop the cake frosting mix using a smallÂ
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!
