dkelly & jjandhope,
There is an article at the bottom of the home page with the directions of the cake balls. Many of us have come to know and love and some of us sell. They are sooo delish.
But to answer your question, simply they are left over cake scraps that you bind with another product to be able to form a ball and then coat with (usually) chocolate.
The skies the limit on the possibilities.
And welcome to the wonderful world of Cake Central. |

I have kept them covered in the fridge for up to 1 week. Before they are coated in chocolate. |

Oh sure...... I have had some in the fridge from last weekend. My granddaughter looovvvesss helping with my projects and cake balls are one of her fav things to do.
So needless to say, I leave them for her, when she comes on the weekends. I have never had a problem with them |

Oh, I so want to try the ice cream cone ones! Unfortunately, we are painting the inside of our house, moving our oldest to college and moving our youngest back home! I am going into baking withdrawal!! |

Does anyone have a pic or instructions for the ice cream cone cake balls? They sound so cute. The bakerella cupcakes are adorable too! I have my first batch of cake balls ever in the freezer right now. I am making lots of practice cakes...we cant eat them all, and this is a great use! Thanks everyone! |

I think on page 2 of this post there is a link from foxymomma for the tutorial on the ice cream cone cake balls. There's a pic on there and there's also a pic in my photos.  Lots of fun! |

Sorry, I didn't get back to ya sooner
The coffee creamer is awesome in them, there are so many flavors. Most times I use the powdered ones just because they have a longer shelf life and then add a splash of milk to moisten the cake scraps enough that I can roll them into a ball. My most orders cake truffles are chocolate cake with vanilla/carmel coffee creamer in them, and white cake scraps with a pecan praline coffee creamer. I basically don't even measure, I shake on enough creamer to coat the cake scraps with a thin layer of powder and stir, roll into a ball and taste it to see if the caramel flavor comes across enough and then go with it. I do dip mine in chocolate/candy melts. |
