Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without thinning the batter. Always cool the cake completely before mixing with cream cheese. Chill cake balls before dipping to help them hold their shape. Melt chocolate slowly to avoid clumping. Let cake balls sit at room temperature briefly before serving for best texture.
