Today is Lu's 4th birthday...I made her cake in the shape of the #4, and then had a lot of the cake leftover, so I made cake balls. I read about these as an alternative to cake at graduation time in the paper and thought this would be the perfect time to try them. They are really good, but 1 is enough...even for me! (I used a red velvet cake, can of cream cheese frosting, and white almond bark.)
Cake Balls
1 cake, baked (like from a box)
1 can of frosting
1 lb. almond bark coating
Directions:
After baking the cake and letting it cool, crumble into a large bowl. Mix the frosting in. (I had to do this by hand.) Shape into walnut sized balls. (I used my cookie scoop.) Freeze. After they are frozen, melt almond bark and dip balls to coat well.
I did find it pretty sacrilegious to be dipping things in almond bark without my friend LeeAnn. We do Christmas baking together every year and that is her job because I don't have the patience and she likes it because she doesn't have to do anything with the oven. (We make a great team!!!)
