My attempt at Cake Balls

I did not really start my blogging adventure until January 2011 so I have to share with you what I made over the holidays. 

I have an internship in New York City where I bring my baked goods to. This is so I will not eat them all myself! It is a plus because she has connections and can refer people to me if she likes my baking. (which she does!) Another plus is that there are always guys there in the afternoon and they devour anything I bring in. This means I will not gain all the weight if I was to eat everything myself.

Look at those babies. My second attempt at cake balls. I originally made the cake using this recipe but I do not have cake flour. Cake flour is way too expensive. Especially since I now have a huge COSTCO sized bag of flour! So here is the conversion: 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons of all purpose = 1 cup of cake flour!

So in order to actually make cake balls you need to make a cake first. Once the cake is cool you can crumble it apart *gasp* and combine it with a frosting mix of your choice. A lot of people use cream cheese frosting so I shall provide a recipe for you.
  • Butter
  • Confectionery Sugar
  • Cream Cheese
  • Vanilla

I did not give measurements because some people like it tangy and some people like it sweet. So make it according to your liking.

Melt the chocolate (or chocolate candy wafers) dip and drain. Decorate however you like and ta-da! You have just created your own cake balls!

In the ones pictured above I added oreo cookies to the mix. Tasty.
