- Separate the cake batter evenly into three separate small mixing bowls. Add red food coloring into the first bowl, blue into the second, and leave the third plain. Add a few drops of the food coloring at a time until desired color is reached.Red and blue food coloring
- Pour each bowl of batter into the separate prepared baking pans and bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.

- Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, crumble each cake into its own medium mixing bowl.
- Separate the cream cheese into thirds and place into each bowl of crumbled cake.
- Mix the cream cheese completely into each bowl of cake. This can be done by hand or with an electric mixer, just make sure you clean the mixer in between each color.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Grab small one inch pieces of each color cake at a time and form into red white and blue cake balls. Place them on the baking sheets and let chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Once the cake balls are chilled, microwave the white chocolate wafers in 30 second increments, mixing in between until fully melted.10 ounce package Ghirardelli white vanilla melting wafers
- Using a fork, dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate and coat completely. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place the remaining melted chocolate into a ziploc bag and cut a small hole in the corner to drizzle over each cake ball.
- Place sprinkles onto the cake balls directly after drizzling and then place them back into the fridge for 15 minutes to set.Red, white, and blue sprinkles
