Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Cake Mix: Bake the white cake mix according to package instructions at 350°F for about 30 minutes. Allow cooling completely.
  2. Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble it into fine pieces in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Mix in the Cream Cheese: Blend in softened cream cheese until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
  4. Shape the Cake Balls: Scoop out 2-tablespoons and roll into balls, placing on a parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Chill the Cake Balls: Freeze for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
  6. Melt the Coating: Melt vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
  7. Dip the Cake Balls: Dip each ball into the melted almond bark and let excess drip off.
  8. Add Eyes and Wrappings: Place candy eyes on top and drizzle melted almond bark to mimic mummy wrappings.
  9. Let the Coating Set: Allow to sit at room temperature until the coating sets, about 15-20 minutes.
  10. Enjoy Your Mummy Cake Balls: Serve on a platter or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
