Steps:
- Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions for a 9-by-13-inch cake or two 9-inch cakes. Allow to cool slightly in the pan, then remove to a rack, cover with a dish towel and let cool completely.
- Break off sections of the cake and crumble in a large bowl. When finished, you should have a bunch of very fine cake crumbs. Using a rubber spatula, work the frosting into the cake until it is no longer visible. (Even if you use white frosting with red velvet cake, the white will eventually blend in entirely.)
- Next, roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (a small ice cream scoop helps with this) and set on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This is important: Pop 'em in the freezer, uncovered, for at least an hour. The cake balls need to be very firm before coating them.
- When the cake balls are nice and firm, place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Don't let the bowl touch the water.) Stir occasionally until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan. Add the cake balls one at a time to the melted white chocolate and gently roll to coat. Using a fork, lift out the cake balls, then tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate. With a toothpick, push the ball off of the fork and back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Let set at room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Decorate with gel icing to look like eyeballs.

Tips:
- Choose the right cake mix. A white or yellow cake mix will work best for this recipe, as they will give you a light and fluffy cake that is easy to work with.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake according to the package directions. The baking time may vary depending on the cake mix you are using, so be sure to check the package directions.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a piping bag to create the eyeballs. This will give you more control over the shape and size of the eyeballs.
- Use different colors of frosting to create different types of eyeballs. For example, you could use red frosting for bloody eyeballs or green frosting for zombie eyeballs.
- Add some finishing touches to the eyeballs. You could use edible glitter, sprinkles, or candy to add some extra detail to the eyeballs.
Conclusion:
These cake eyeballs are a fun and easy way to add some spooky flair to your Halloween party. They are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. With a little creativity, you can create all sorts of different types of eyeballs, so have fun and experiment!
