Step 1
Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs in a bowl—no big chunks.
Step 2
Mix in frosting 1 tablespoon at a time until dough holds together when squeezed.
Step 3
Roll into 12 golf-ball-size balls. Chill in the freezer while you prep the chocolate.
Step 4
Melt chocolate chips with oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Step 5
Dip each cake ball 3/4 of the way into chocolate, then twist and lift to let excess drip off.
Step 6
Immediately sprinkle with toppings while chocolate is wet. Stick upright in a stand to set.
