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!

Many of you have emailed me and asked questions about this blog over the past several months. So, I am going to "borrow" this information from one of my bloggy friends, AJ .

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m

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
