Okay, so I made cake balls yesterday. SUPER YUMMY! I had one little problem though...I rolled them in powder sugar after I froze them and within 5 minutes the powder sugar had been absorbed into the balls.
Anyone else run into this problem? Any solutions?
I did this as well lol it became like a Dunkin Donuts munchkin was delicious!!! I took some paper towels and rolled them around on it first and it helped some.... you might let them come to room temp a little before trying to roll them in the sugar or just do the ones in sugar super fresh roll them into the balls and then dip into the sugar and serve or gift... without freezing that way the condensation doesn't ruin the sugar 
I baked mine again once after seeing that someone here did that and it helped the sugar stick on and not absorb.
okay, so i re-rolled one this morning in powdered sugar (since it had been out of the freezer for like 15 hours) and let it sit for a few hours to see what would happen. the powdered sugar stayed on and was not absorbed into the ball. so i don't know which of the following theories is true, but here is what i am thinking:
1. it just needed 2 coats of powdered sugar
or
2. if they are to be rolled in ps or cocoa they should not be frozen or chilled (or at least brought back to room temp before rolling) as the moisture is what caused it to be absorbed
Yeah, that's what I thought. Even if it sits in a package without refrigeration, it would probably absorb overnight, that's why there is donut sugar. The cornstarch won't absorb. That's also why the PS on donuts is not quite as sweet as straight PS or as grainy. That price that was listed was more expensive than I expected!, but 22 lbs would cover an awful lot of cake balls!! 
Great thread because they soaked in on me also when I rolled them. I just froze them and thought I would deal with them later. So I guess I will bring the to room temp.and then reroll them. maybe a couple of times. Thanks for the tips and ideas
