Most of them looked more lumpy, like these
The sprinkles are important, they cover the hole made from the stick used for dipping. They were tasty, and pretty fun to make, but I had lots of good help. Thanks Abby and Sarah and Katrina and Matthew!

Those look SOOO good! I want one right now. :-) Heath's cousin made some cake balls for Easter, but I don't remember them having sprinkles. Very pretty!
You did a great job! I've made few batches and the secret is not adding too much frosting and/or letting the frosting-cake mixture chill for a while. Also, I chose to forego the sticks one time. Made the balls, set them on a plate, drizzled melted chocolate on top and finished with an upside-down white chocolate chip (pushed the point into the ball). They looked very sophisticated! :)
