Bake your favorite cake in a 9 x 13" pan (or other size, makes no difference). When it's cooled completely, scoop the cake into a large mixing bowl and break it apart with a fork until it's totally crumbled. To the crumbs, add a cup (for a 9x13 cake) of frosting and mix it together until it's 'packable' ... if you need a little more frosting, add some but be careful not to add TOO much or it'll be mushy.
Take Tblsp. of mushed cake & form into 1-1/2" balls - put them side by side in a wax paper lined baking pan. When you use up all the cake, put the pan into the fridge for a couple hours to allow the cake balls to chill.
Have one or more types of toppings ready for dipping (various sprinkles, toasted coconut, crushed pretzels, crushed oreos, chopped nuts...).
Take a cup (or so) of white melting chocolate (almond bark) and heat until it's completely melted. (You'll probably need more, depending on how many you're making, but melt one cup at a time to avoid waste.)
One by one, quickly dip the cake balls into the chocolate (I use 2 forks) coating completely and let excess fall back into cup. Next, roll them into toppings, then return to wax papered pan. Continue dipping until they're all coated & then return to the fridge to chill. Be creative - use different combinations of cake/frosting/toppings!!
