I saw the originals on www.bakerella.com. Typically you would use candy melts or chocolate for these, but then they would not be dairy free. So, I decided to experiment. I baked my E,D,N Free cake (recipe to come) and crumbled it up mixing it with frosting as instructed on the Bakerella website. After forming the balls and refrigerating for a couple of hours I melted some frosting (I used Pillsbury Vanilla Funfetti Frosting because a homemade butter frosting would melt and get gross if sat out) by microwaving for 5 seconds. Then I dipped my cake balls in that, sprinkled them and returned them to the refrigerator. About an hour later these sweeties hardened up and looked like this. What do you think? I think it worked pretty well considering I didn't really know what I was doing! Next time I will experiment with different shapes and color the frosting. I cut the tops off of waffle cones this time (as instructed by Bakerella) to make these cute mini "ice cream" cones. This was really fun and the kids loved them. What's not to love, cake, icing, more icing, sprinkles!
These are great! I am excited to try it here, maybe for the next birthday we have coming up.
ReplyDeleteYou could start a business just making these. Or sell them at an ice cream shop!
