Hello! I had some issues with the cake I made this weekend and I am left with a 10" cake in several chunks. It was so delicious, I hate to throw it out. I vaguely remember someone mentioning using cake leftovers to make something with, but I don't remember what. I'd really appreciate your help! The cake is a kahlua/yellow marbled cake. I also have leftover kahlua bc and chocolate bc. Any ideas? TIA.
I know that a lot of people on here make something called 'cake balls' out of leftover cake pieces. I've never made them myself, so try doing a search on them.
As for the BC, freeze it until you have another order or do some cupcakes.
I too have heard that the "cake balls" are very good, though I have not tried it either.
Cake balls or trifle.

You can pretty much put anything in them I made a batch with white and chocolate scraps, added chocolate chips and cocoa powder, and added triple sec for the liquid and grated orange peel -- going for the chocolate/orange thing. They were delish.
I know cake balls are not an original idea and everyone has their own recipe, but...
The links posted in this thread are my recipe! I have the original Word document I wrote and then copied and pasted into a thread here a year or so back. I juts checked it and it is word for word my recipe.
I'm happy people are using it; that's why I posted it...I would just like to have a little credit (and not have someone elses name on the recipe).
Thanks for letting me vent a little!
i was going to say put it in the processor and make cake crumbs to coat the sides of other cakes BUT after reading that cake ball idea...please do that and not the crumbs
Toba Garrett makes cake crumbs and mixes them with b'cream. She uses it as a filling and also as a "spackle" that she uses (I believe) as the crumbcoat. It's in her book "The Well-Deocrated Cake". I'm not sure about the spackle part, but it sounds like it would make a delicious filling.
I like to get some french vanilla icecream and let it soften a bit, then mix the leftover cake and even some frosting in it and then refreezing it. Everybody loves it. I drizzle kalhua over it too.
Oh cookieman. I'm so sorry I didn't know it was you that post the original recipe.
Thank you very much for the recipe. It is great!!
Cookieman, it would be a good idea for you to send a PM to Jackie and/or Heath and show your documentation.
Alton Brown of "Good Eats" made a "no pan pie" and put cake pieces in the bottom. My husband tried that with some leftover cake we had and it was pretty good. If you go on foodnetwork.com you can find the recipe.
