Cake Balls!:)

Not sure if this recipe is already on here (i didn't have enough time to to search through all of the posts). I made it last night for the first time, i have eaten it a few times, but made it last night. Those who had some said they were delicious, i can't have sugar right now, so....i couldn't tell you what my personal thoughts are.

here is the link: http://www.bakerella.com/red-velvet-cake-balls/

im not sure how to make it so you can just click on it, but im sure you all know how to copy and paste.

one problem i had with it, is that it actually made 90 balls, (mostly because of the size of melon baller/cookie scooper) so i used 2 1/2 bags of chocolate. Also by the end of the whole thing my last few didn't look so hot because there were little crumbly cake pieces in the chocolate, so i tried to drizzle some of the chocolate over the cake balls because it just wasn't sticking to it when i rolled them because of all the little bits. THAT or i just dont know what im doing:)

this was the first time ive dipped anything in chocolate so....any tips?
I also used milk choc. chips because i couldn't find any choc. bark

ENJOY!!!:)

  1. I've heard that the biggest struggle with the cake balls is the dipping--I haven't ever tried making them, though, so I don't have any tips! Any expert dippers?

  2. I've never made cake balls so I have NO IDEA what to do about the dipping... But these are beautiful! Wouldn't they be perfect for a shower? Yummy and pretty = good for me. :)

  3. Just a thought... Do you think it would help to keep some in the fridge/freezer while you work with the others, then pull more out when you're ready? Maybe that would help keep them from shedding in the chocolate? Don't know.

  4. I'm not an expert anything but Katy's idea sounded good to me.
