The cake balls have to be super duper cold for the stick to get stuck in the cake ball. Once the cake balls start to thaw out to room temperature, the chocolate starts to turn red from the red velvet cake flaking off into the bowl and the stick doesn't want any business being stuck inside the cake ball. You have to return the cake balls to the fridge for at least 10 minutes to get the cake balls back to a good temperature.
I really love the sprinkles I just got from Dan the Shamrock Man.
