Malt Ball Cake

 I saw a picture for a malt ball cake, and I saved it in a file for my Aunt's birthday because she is a fan of the malt ball.  She turned....uhhh...wiser last week, and I finally got to put that file to use. 
My Mom made the traditional 'yellow cake'....I'm pretty sure it has a flavor, but the color works fine, and a can of chocolate icing. 

 It took me exactly two large boxes of whoppers (the half gallon size) to cover this cake...give or take a sample or two.  I'm all about quality control.
