do you not want to use chocolate cake....chocolate 'fillings/mix-ins'....or cover in chocolate??
but I would do a search in the gallery...there are numerous threads with different ideas/recipes for cake balls. but you can put whatever you want in them....if you don't want to use chocolate....you don't have too!! one of the great things about this recipe is that you can do whatever you want to it. i just use the recipe as a guideline!! i've made them several times and just kinda added 'stuff'....whatever i had lying around....and they turned out great!!
I've made some from yellow cake. I just use buttercream to bind the cake. I've added powdered vanilla too for a more vanilla flavor. You can use anycake to make these and the flavors are endless. Just decide on what flavor you want. You can use liquers, icing, coffee creamers etc. to bind the cake and add flavor. If your not sure on how much, just add a little at a time. My experience, if you make them too moist they come apart easier when you dip them.
HTH
I have not checked it out yet, but at the bottom of the Cake Central home page, under the recipe section, there is a posting for cake balls and lists all different flavors. Maybe that can help.
no i haven't made strawberry. but that would good with a yellow cake. if you have some leftover strawberry filling from a cake or they have those flavored syrups you can get in the coffee aisle......i use those as my liquid portion and they taste pretty good. i don't like many of the liquid coffee creamers though...but that is just my persoanl preference.
I think amaretto would go perfect with strawberries!!!! mmmm!!!
I made many batches of cake balls to give as Christmas presents and I think it's time to do some more!!! (This time for myself
)
I used different types of cakes and some of them, I didn't even dip in chocolate, I just rolled them in grounded walnuts or cocoa and they were great too.
For my next batch of cake balls, I plan to use strawberry cake and use cream cheese frosting as the binder then dip in white chocolate. They'll have to be refrigerated, but I doubt they'll last long enough to worry about it.
I just started making them, so I'm not selling them yet. I don't even know what to charge. I was thinking something like $5 per dozen.
