Hi,


I finally got inspired and made some cake balls.....I was reading the last post about them! I had a left over 6x3 inch round egg nog cake and left over white chocolate buttercream. I crumbled the cake added in 1 Cup of the buttercream and a splash of vanilla rum. I mixed it in the KA then formed the balls. I froze them and coated them in chocolate....OMG they were so delicious! I can't believe I waited this long to try them. The egg nog taste was fantastic in my opinion of course!

Hey Berta!!! Glad you finally jumped into the cake ball world!! I've been wanting to also!! Eggnog sounds yummy too!! I want to try some red velvet ones for our Christmas party and to take to work!! All these threads about them are making me want to try them!!

Red velvet sounds really good.....The eggnog ones I liked a lot. If you make red velvet let me know! I'll email u tomorrow!

Berta

I made some last night and they were good!!! I am going to use these for my cookie exchange party I am attending next week.
I made white cake w/ cheescake pudding mixed in, and some carrot cake ones too.

oooooooohhhhh red velvet cake balls dipped in green candy melts with red and green jimmies on top. What could we call them....? LOL

That's it...I'm going to make these for thank-you gifts for my suppliers & wedding planners.

Do they need to be chilled...or are they okay in boxes for a few days?

I made 4 batches of yellow cake with the amaretto and dipped in chocolate Sunday night...My freezer was full of cake, now it's full of cake balls!!!

OK, I have some pumpkin spice cakes scraps. What would go good with them? Any ideas? Or maybe they just wouldn't make good cake balls. Spice Rum? Dipped in white chocolate?

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I posted last week about wanting to do a very thick cream cheese icing, rolling it into marble size balls, and form a carrot cake cake ball around it, then dip into white choc. I hope to try this idea out this week. I will let you all know how it goes.

I think cream cheese frosting or white chocolate frosting would go great with the pumpkin spice...yummy!

I think they would be ok for a few days...I only put buttercream and rum in mine and both of those would be ok on the counter for a few days. I didn't think I would like them, but these are really good!!

BTW, I didn't make the recipe I did what Squirrelly suggested and just mixed in the buttercream and threw in some rum for good measure

Berta

has anyone tried making cake balls from cheese cake??? i know no one has cheesecake scraps but wouldnt it be yummy to take a mellon baller to a cheese cake and dip them in chocolate and put them in the fridge. .. YUMMY..

MMMM, Love the cheesecake idea. That would be delicious!! Chocolate cheesecake rolled in oreo crumbs perhaps.

I just gained 5 pounds reading this thread!

So I've also done cake balls and love them. I had a tricky time dipping them and letting them drain off enough before placing them down, before they would almost fall off my fork.

What was everyone elses method for dipping them?

Miah

Yeah, I was thinking about doing just the cake, alcohol (or coffee creamer) and BC idea, not CookieMan's recipe that has been posted before.
I can't wait!!!

I put a toothpick in them before I froze them.. Then I dipped them and pulled the toothpick out using a fork. I used a spoon to fill in the hole.

Berta

BTW, I have a really good recipe for some truffles made with nutella centers and peanut butter centers. Let me know if you want the recipe.

I would love your truffle recipe! I have been looking and looking for the nutella and can't find it. I have ask at 3 grocery stores and they look at me like I am from another planet. Where do you find it at?

It is usually by where the peanut butter and jelly are. Here is a pic for you maybe that will help! I will PM u the recipes in a little while!

Berta

I wouldn't mind having the recipe please. Thanks

Sylvie

Thank you for both the pic and the recipes!!! Now I at least know what I am looking for.

Berta, I love nutella...mmmm on toast and I've used it to fill cupcakes too but never truffles. What a great idea! I'd love the recipe for the nutella filling you used.

PM me if you'd like the recipes!!

Berta

Thanks Berta

I edited the above post because I forgot the softened butter in the nutella recipe! SORRY!

Berta

Thanks again Berta!

Blittle6..I make the same PB Truffles..yum! The almond bark with a little crisco is great...not to mention a lot cheaper!

I bought soe Nuetella but didn't know what to do with it.....now I do! thanks!!

Mrs. Missey, I do the same thing!! Only difference is I usually put some type of decoration on the top to hide the hole.

I'm trying to picture the toothpick thing, could you put that on the bottom? Or is the other side already flat from sitting after being dipped in chocolate??
Does that make sense?

I guess you could put it on the bottom. I have alwayds just put it on top then dripped more chocolate on them when I take it out. Give it a try and let us know!

Missey when you make the Nutella ones...let me know how you like them!
