Notes
I had some leftover cake tops from baking a while back which was perfect for this recipe - you can make your own cake OR just throw together a box mix and quickly whip up a cake. Depends on how special you need them to be? Typically young kids won't notice the difference!
I like to use Almond Bark because I prefer how easy it is to dip/coat. If you prefer, you could use candy melts, or even better... chocolate!
