Before we get started, though, let’s talk about one of the most common questions I get regarding this recipe:
Is It Safe to Eat Cake Mix Raw?
If you are worried about eating cake mix from the box due to the raw flour, there is a quick way to ensure it is safe to eat. The trick is to just microwave the cake mix to 160°F, to kill off anything that can make you sick so it’s safe to eat raw. So do that first, then follow the recipe.

Ingredients for Patriotic Funfetti Cake Cheese Ball

- Cream cheese
- Butter

Instructions to Make Patriotic Funfetti Cake Cheese Ball
Making this red, white, and blue cake mix cheese ball is as easy as combining the ingredients, forming a ball, freezing it, then covering it in red, white, and blue sprinkles. And that’s it!
Step One: Cream Butter and Cream Cheese
Begin by adding the butter and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, combine until smooth and creamy.
Step Two: Add Remaining Ingredients
Next, add the cake mix and both sugars mixing on medium speed until completely combined.
Step Three: Form A Ball
Now lay out a large piece of plastic wrap. Using your hands, shape the mixture into a ball and place it in the middle of the plastic wrap. Bring up all 4 corners of the wrap to form the ball tighter and cover it completely.
Step Four: Place in Fridge
Place into the freezer for one hour or until the ball is mostly firm.
Step Five: Cover in Sprinkles
Once the ball is ready, remove it from the plastic wrap and place it on a plate. Pour the jimmies into a shallow pan or plate.
Now take the cake ball and roll it in the jimmies, covering it completely.
Step Six: Serve and Enjoy!
Transfer the cake ball to a serving dish and serve with your choice of vanilla wafers, fruit, cookies or anything else you’d like.
If waiting to serve, place it back into the freezer until 30 minutes before you are ready to serve it.
See? Easy as can be! And doesn’t it look good enough to eat?! Speaking of easy, the handy-dandy printable version of this recipe is below.

Can Funfetti Cake Mix Cheese Ball Dip Be Made Ahead of Time?
Planning ahead? This recipe can be prepared up to 12 hours ahead of serving time. Once made, simply place the Patriotic Funfetti Cake Cheese Ball in the freezer until you are ready to serve.
It won’t take it long to thaw enough to where you can easily dip it. I usually remove it about 30 minutes before serving time.
What Can I Serve with Funfetti Cake Ball Dip?
This Funfetti Cake Ball Dip goes perfectly with fresh fruit, cookies, graham crackers or whatever else captures your fancy!
Some of my favorite cookies to use include Nilla Wafers, fudge-dipped cookies, and my homemade Vanilla Butter Cookies!
Versatile Funfetti Box Cake Recipe
Another thing I love about this easy, no-bake 4th of July dessert recipe is that it is so versatile. By simply switching the color jimmies, you can serve it at any special event or celebration!
Use red and green to make a Christmas Funfetti Cake Ball, blue and white for Hanukkah, pink and white – or blue and white – for a baby shower, or red and pink for Valentine’s Day. Whatever occasion you choose, your guests are sure to be impressed!
