Love/hate Relationship With Cake Balls

I think I'm going to try the styrofoam if I can get hubby to snag me some from work. I'm thinking you don't push them all the way down so the chocolate drips off the truffle instead of pooling at the bottom. That would mean no more trimming the bottom.
However, that's a lot of toothpicks to use. Hmmm. What to do, what to do?
I'm glad my experiment helped you!
Not really a lot of toothpicks, I dip about a dozen or so and then dip a second dozen, by the time the second dozen is done being dipped the first dozen is dry, so I go back and pull the toothpicks out of them and put them in papers and into a box, then dip another dozen....go back pull toothpicks out of the dozen that's set up, and continue on.
As far as styrofoam I just use either a sheet from a packing box I saved.
re: the "grease" problem... this was happening to me, too! such beautiful cake balls, then after they sat for a little while, grease was coming out... gross!
my solution... bake the cake without any oil. I haven't had that problem since.
good luck to you!
