the how to on cake balls

Sunday, October 11, 2009

has anyone out there tried the new rage in the dessert world?
i am going to show you a step-by-step on cake ball making.


1. bake a box cake and let it cool
you can use any kind of cake or icing

2. use 1/2 a can of store bought icing
hint: if you use more like i've done before the cake is too moist

3. crumble the cake in a bowl along with the icing

4. make sure all the icing is mixed in
put in the freezer for 30 min. (i have skipped this step before and it was fine,
but they were a little sticky)

5. roll the cake mixture into 1" balls and freeze again for 30 min.
it will make about 50. you can always make them bigger

6. i put them on a skewer and rolled it in a bowl of melted chocolate(tap it on the edge and rotate at the same time) then i placed it in vase with floral foam to dry. you can easily use a fork and place them on parchment paper it makes a flat bottom, but they are still yummy.

7. then i jazzed them up with some white chocolate that i dyed blue
to drizzle on top use a pastry bag cut a corner of a zip lock bag
(they were for a baby shower)

8. after they dried i took them off the skewers and put them in small liners

i like to serve them cold.
i know there are a few steps, but it can easily be done here and there
or b/t nap time like i did.
let me know if you make them
ENJOY!

I LOVE cake balls!! I was introduced to them last year at a cookie exchange, and I've made them a few times since. They're pretty fun to make too. I like how you spiffed them up w/ the blue chocolate...cute cute.
