My photoblog attempt at making cake balls. They were fairly easy, though extremely time consuming.
First, you need to bake your cake. I just used a boxed red velvet cake.
When the cake has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl.
Next, stir in your favorite frosting. Since I was making red velvet cake balls, I chose cream cheese frosting. I also decided to use food coloring to dye the frosting red. I didn't want to muddy the cake color.
It doesn't look all that appetizing once all of the frosting is incorporated.
After mixing in all of the frosting, put cake mixture into the refrigerator. I let it set for several hours.
Once it has set, create golf ball size cake balls and roll them into your melted candy coating. Since this was just the test run, I bought the candy melts that they had available at Target. I will probably buy
these candy melts for Jackson's birthday (in white, of course).
Finished product (on my spiffy white and blue paper plates, lol)....
