    Making these on a Monday to serve Wednesday evening. How do you recommend storing them in the mean time? I wondered if I needed to freeze them for this short term amount of time due to the cream cheese factor, or if I can store them in a tupperware until Wednesday....?

    Was looking forward to these. Had never made them before but made a double batch because they sounded so awesome. So disappointed. I followed to a T. Quality ingredients as well. Super sticky, had to continually dust my hands. Taste like cake balls. 16 ounces of cream cheese and still cant taste it. Overpowered by cake mix. They are very pretty but not what I expected.
