i once found this old cake decorating book in a charity shop, and it had a weird, but cool recipe. it was called truffle cake....it was old cake scraps that you molded together to create a sort of cake clay that you could shape how you wanted...if anyone could help me figure out what that was, that would be awesome!

Hi.. well as weird as this may sound.. Here they call them Cake Balls.. I know, that does not sound nice.. Cake Truffles is just a better name.. LOL
If you click on Recipe tab and search "cake balls".
You will find the recipe there..

thanks so much!
