STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE TRUFFLE BALLS CAKE POPS

It’s Valentine’s Week here at Modern Honey! Cake Balls were a huge trend 5 years ago and every baby shower or party I ever attended, offered these delectable creations. The Cake Pops were usually made using a cake mix and canned frosting.  Even though they may have tasted good, there is nothing like made-from-scratch desserts!

I wanted to make a homemade yellow butter cake and combine it with a handcrafted fresh strawberry cream cheese frosting to make the ultimate Strawberry Cheesecake Truffle Ball Cake Pop. It tastes like a mix between a strawberry cheesecake and strawberry shortcake. It is so creamy inside with the moist butter cake, cream cheese frosting, and pops of freshness from the strawberries. Absolutely heavenly!
