Ok, I have made cake balls a couple of times, but they always end up so DENSE!! Is this normal?? I mean very very very dense. Having said that, I usually use mud cake (cause thats what is in the freezer).
Any ideas on how to lightenn them up?? a bit more cake-y rather than super-dense-fudge-like-that-gets-caught-in-your-teeth texture?
They should be dense, and not mushy at all, in my opinion. You might add just a little buttercream to make them not quite so dense.

Hi Jen,
I'd love to hear about this tool too, please let me know if it's ok to email you as well.
Thanks!
Not sure what the tool is but I have bought both the metal and plastic candy dipping tools (by Wilton, I think) and they just suck.... I use a plain old dinner fork, long tined variety and for me the trick is to invert.
Between that, proper draining and the temp of the chocolate, I have greatly reduced the amount of cakeballs with feet

Hi- I hope it's OK if I e-mail you as well. I really do like the idea of cake truffles, I hate to throw away the extra cake scraps. TIA for sharing. ~Heidi
Sure it's ok if you e-mail me. I have to respect the rules on CC....
