Cooking 101: Cake Balls

By -
A few weeks ago, I came across a blog entry on how to make Cakeballs. I thought it would be fun to do with my little Fullers. So, last week, we made cakeballs. It was an adventure to say the least bit.

First, you make a cake. We used a cake mix, because that's how we roll around here. Now, we do occassionally make a cake from scratch and I have the baking powder in my spice cabinet to prove it.

Don't forget to lick the spoon!

When the cake is finished, dump it into a large bowl and squish it up to make cake crumbs. Then, add a tub of frosting and stir. If your two-year old eats half of your frosting just grab the Hershey's cocoa from your spice cabinet and whip up a batch of frosting!!

The result is kind of mushy but oh so good!! Next, using a scoop so the size of the cakeballs is uniform, roll the mixture into balls.

Place on a baking sheet.

Then, wash your hands!

Place the pan into the freezer for about 15 minutes so the cakeballs get firm.

Next, melt some chocolate, NOT Almond Bark or CandiQuik Coating.

Dunk the cakeballs into the chocolate and place on waxed paper.

You can drizzle more chocolate over them while they are still moist or use sprinkles to decorate them.

Enjoy!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
