1 tablespoon vegetable oil or shortening (optional)
Instructions
1. Bake your red velvet cake and let it cool completely.
2. Crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork.
3. Mix in the cream cheese frosting until the mixture holds together like dough.

6. Melt white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
