I mean, candy-melt coated cake balls? I'm thinking of making cake ball filled rubber duckies for a shower that's in 3 weeks. I don't want to be doing it right before the shower because I'm doing a cake. I bought a ducky candy mold that is huge...it would take so much chocolate. I thought I could do the shell and fill it with cake ball mixture, put together, and then freeze...what do you think?

tia!

they should freeze ok. However, once thawed, they should be consumed right away-a day or so. the air inside the mold with allow and encourage mold.

thanks! blech, mold!

I could just take them out right before I go to the shower.

Should I leave a ventilation hole on the bottom of the duck? The candy mold is actually a lollipop one, but it's so huge, no one is going to want to eat a large solid candy melt duck...yuck! LOL That's why I thought of putting cake inside!

The only problem I have had with freezing them completely done is condensation. They get sticky on the outside.

I have done cakeballs in a mold just like you described. It was a heart shaped silicon pan.

I usually make out my cakeballs freeze individually then pack in a freezer gallon ziplock bag --dip as needed.

For large candy molds I usually fill with a mixture of 50/50 marshmallow cream and melted white choc. or reese cup filling.
