A few weeks back I tried to make cake truffles but the mixture was really wet. I put them in the over to dry out, but they started to spread out, so I cranked up the heat and made cookies instead. I brought them to my Michael's (where I teach) and everyone loved them!
SUELA, what a great idea. And it works? What did you use as the liquid? BC or coffee creamer?
sorry....messed up and posted twice!!!
I'm pretty sure on days like today I wouldn't be able to find my head if it wasn't attached!!! ![]()

I don't know... chocolate dripping down the sides sounds like summer and ice cream cones to me!

DD's were fighting over the ones that were "too" full!!! LOL!!! Had em for breakfast! LOL!! Pretty nutricious huh??? ![]()
I am SO glad I saw your post! I bought these too, also not seeing that the box stated 'actual size' lol! They are sitting in my cabinet because how do you scoop a small enough scoop without using a melon baller to fit! My kids want more ice cream than that! Anyway, I'm gonna try it! Thanks a bunch!
A mellon baller would be a great idea to make those cones! I had no idea they came that small! ![]()
I also just bought a box of the mini cones (on purpose) not knowing what I would use them for. Kroger had them on sale 10 for $10 - how could I pass it up? I have made bakerellas mini cupcake pops and now I can combine the two!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love getting ideas and inspiration from all of you!

I made cake balls for the first time yesterday, and my family loves them. I had made mass quantities of banana bread the other day. Unfortunatily it was a new recipe, and it was bland. I was not happy at all
. So, I decided to make cake balls with it. I used half and half as the binder. Then I coated them with hersheys milk chocolate and resses peanut butter chips! My DH was in love. I called them Elvis balls, but he said it was gross sounding. He likes the name monkey balls better

You're welcome! I think I'm going to try Bakerella's this weekend. ![]()
I am new to this site and I am asking a lot of questions, sorry if anyone has labeled me a PITA already....my apologies
. I drink my coffee black and I have never had creamer. I very much want to try this recipe with creamer because I see some of the ladies at my job bringing in very interesting flavors.
Can someone please tell me approx. what size i should buy? Also, does anyone know if one flavor might be better than another? I have creme brulee in mind for this. I was amazed when I found out you can put that flavor in your coffee. Id be thrilled to find something to do with it that I can enjoy!
Jess! No apologies necessary!! Brain pickin is one of the things this site is all about!
I can't answer your ? about the creamer in the cakeballs. I have used it in my BC though. I have only done it once but I used the vanilla caramel in place of the water I normally use. OH MY GOODNESS!!! It was heavenly!!!! It doesn't take a whole lot for the binder though so I bet you could just get the small one. Depending on how much cake you have of course. I did a 9x13 for the icecream cones and only used about 1 cup of frosting to bind it. Hope this helps...sorry for rambling!!! ![]()
Thank you so much Michelle. I will try it and let you know how it comes out. Heavenly is something I dont want to pass on!
I made rainbow cupcakes ( im trying to get a pic on here) and I want them to taste even better then they look. They were just the prettiest lil things ever! The colors were so bright and vibrant!
Thank you again. ![]()
Wow those are super pretty! VERY creative!!
JessDesserts, I love your cupcakes! How did you do the rainbow look? Please share..and Thank you! ![]()
ty for your kind words everyone. I have been baking forever and just got into decorating. I absolutely love it and dont know why I didnt do it sooner! ! ! !
I took the batter and seperated it into little bowls, I used ROY G BIV as a guide, although I substituted pink for indigo. Then I spooned in one color at a time. It sounds simple, and it is, but I have made these a few times before they were 'picture perfect'. If you have any trouble/concerns/questions please feel free to ask me. I will always respond!
