Method
 

Prepare Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Make Cake Balls
  1. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl.
  2. Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined.
  3. Using a cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls and place them on the baking sheet.
  4. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Coat Cake Balls
  1. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  2. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  3. Immediately sprinkle with red and blue sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
  4. Place the coated cake balls back on the parchment paper and let them set completely.
