moving on...
i am no culinary genius. but i do what i can. so i set out to make the red velvet cake balls. first thing is first. RENAMING THOSE BAD BOYS!! cause let's be serious. no food should have the word "balls" attached to it. clearly that is an oversite in creativity and an overestimation of the general male population's ability not to laugh at anything you serve them that is called some kind of ball.
again...moving on.
i was not able to get my cake to dip and be covered in the chocolate, even though i refrigerated it and used a cookie scoop and a skewer to attempt to get it to do right. so, i gave up and went for the drizzle approach. i think they are insanely pretty and honestly, i don't know how anyone can eat more than one of those little jokers drenched in the chocolate. i think the drizzle is a WIN!!
so here you have them:
Red Velvet & Cream Cheese Minis w/ White Chocolate and Pecans
(sounds so much better than red velvet cake balls *giggle*)

Woohoo! I am making these for a wedding shower in a few weeks and I think I may definitely have to take the drizzle and peacan route!
And I agree with renaming them, too. I was thinking "Red Velvet Ornaments" (for a Christmas party) or "Cake Truffles" or...well, anything other than "Cake Balls."
Well, for a second there I thought I was reading the bakerella blog! I can taste them, they are so pretty! Great job~K
You crack me up...and you make really FABULOSO deserts! :) Thankyouverymuch!
Alright you are seriously going to think I am CRAZY after making the cinnamon rolls from your last post and then last night we had company in town and we tried the cake "balls" at your suggestion also!! First, I agree that the name needs to be changed-it's hard to tell someone about them and how good they're going to be when they have that kind of name. Second, they are the richest things I've ever put in my mouth. I could only eat a half one last night and then just got home and ate a whole one-serious sugar overload! We sort of dumped the "mini" into the chocolate and then poured the rest on top to coat them, and it was a little much. Next time I'll try a different flavor-maybe strawberry. But I have to tell you, there is a bakery here in Bham that sells those little jokers for $2.50 EACH. Crazy! I made about 40 of them for $5. So again thank you SO much for all your kitchen help this week. My husband and our sugar overloaded tummies thank you as well!

Yours are much prettier than mine.
And the bakery here that sells them calls them "baby bites"-much cuter name!
please share recipe...
Girrrl! I think the "drizzle" approach is way cooler:) I just might have to give it a try again!
