What do you get when you add your chocolate-loving housemate’s birthday, a request for Raspberry Blackout Cake with Cream Cheese Icing, and an only-sometimes-functioning-oven? Add into the mix an emergency run to the nearest TJ’s for dark chocolate chips, an extra pair of hands for rolling, and a lot of freezer space?
Now, I will tell you honestly that Cake Balls are delicious and worth the time spent making them no matter whether you’re whipping them up from scratch for the sole purpose of eating a perfectly crunchy outer shell with moist soft cake inside, or if you’re problem-solving a baked cake that wouldn’t detach from the pan like I was. Cake Balls are bite-sized, tasty, cute no matter how they are decorated, and pretty hip right now. Why not?
However fun these birthday desserts were, I am so glad our new oven is being delivered today! No more baking “disasters”!
They were soooo good!!!
Oh my goodness…Mixed cake with frosting AND coated. Oh man. I would love to try JUST ONE of these.
CUTE!
i too have made impromptu cake balls from sticky undercooked cupcakes. and then dipped them in chocolate. and my friends and i LOVED them, eating them at my little house and giggling over wine! your cake-eye balls are much more creative though!
