I made some once using chocolate cake, a tiny bit of buttercream icing, and fresh raspberries mixed up with a fork. I formed them into balls and froze them, then dipped them and refroze them. I kept them in the freezer and at them frozen. I thought they were really good that way. The only other ones I ever made weren't frozen, and they weren't nearly as good. I think it helps overcome the texture problem.
When I made them once I added coconut to the mix and used coffee creamer as a binder. Then as someone previously mentioned on CC I baked them for a bit. It kind of dries them out and they were pretty good! I didn't make them very big either. They were bite size.
I'm not a fan of the mushiness either, I add the liquid or filling until it's "just right" for me. But I love them.
And I don't recall the original recipe on here (i think it was cookieman?) calling for them to be put in the freezer. I've seen many people say they freeze them but it seems like that would make them more moist once they start to thaw under the chocolate. I've never put mine into the freezer unless I was freezing some AFTER I've already finished them. (to save for later)
I think the original said to leave them out on the cookie sheet for a couple of hours to set and dry. I could never wait that long. 
Do you tell your customers how you make your cake truffles? (A name I adopted because I had a hard time calling them "cake balls.") I am just wondering bc I like cake scraps... much too much 
but I don't really care for my own cake truffles. They taste great but I would rather eat the scraps. I think it has to do with the fact that I know how they are made. My customers, as well as family and friends, rave over them. They like the combination of flavors as they've blended together. I'll keep making them as long as there is a call for them and, as long as there is a call for them, I can't eat the scraps.
Btw-- one other thing I do with the scraps is I use them to cut out fun shapes to use as sweet cakes for my children when they have their tea parties.
