I have a question. I'm going to do a football cake and need to make just a small football on the top. I'm wondering, can I crumb the cake and add the stuff like I'm going to make cake balls and then mold it into the shape of a football and dip in in chocolate or even frost it? I've never done cake balls before so I'm not sure how 'moldable' (is that a word?) the stuff is.
I just thought this would be a fantastic idea if it would work. Any thoughts?? What do you think?
Thanks!
Yes, you absolutely can do that. I discovered this just a few days ago when my cake fell apart on me and I needed to rescue it. I mooshed the whole thing together and froze it, then re-layered. Worked like a charm, and held up just wonderfully. I have also used chocolate "cake balls" thinned out a little more than usual, and used it as a crumb coat under ganache (no pun intended on the crumb coat...). Cake is such versatile stuff!
