Look at what I did with cake balls. I call them cake pops because I put lollipop sticks in them and they are bite size. I did them for a little birthday gathering. The guest was a teacher and she took the leftovers to her elementary class for Valentine's Day.

I would have never known about cake balls if I hadn't seen them here! Thanks CC.

That is a great idea! Never thought about adding sticks.

how did u make and how do u get them wrong sorry for the basic question

AlamoSweets,

They look so cute

The how tos are on this site. They are quiet easy and make good use of cake left overs. They were such a hit I think I will make a cake in the future just for cake pops. I let them sit overnight in the refrig so they would be firm enough to stay on the stick. These were made from a french vanilla cake. It is a perfect size so you can have one and not feel too guilty.

Thanks all for the comments

very creative idea!

do u need to add these

2 generous shots of amaretto ( or any other liquer you may like) OR a good non-alcohol subsitution is any flavored coffee creamer)
* I used liquid French Vanilla*

Linda-what a wonderful idea!!! I've been trying to think of some other way of packaging these little things so they're a little more 'showy' than just a ball of chocolate stuff in a paper liner thingy...lol I can totally see these wrapped in cellophane and stuck into some styrofoam that's in a pot or cup or something! GREAT IDEA!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

JennT,
Thanks for your comments. I have grown to appreciate your opinion. This idea was fun. It is almost worth baking a cake only to tear it up and make balls! Tinting the cake balls would be fun for a child's birthday or maybe rolling them in colored sugar or sprinkles. I am wondering how much we would charge for such a treat?

Comments anyone??

Alamosweets,

Those are too cute! Great idea! Sorry I can't help you on pricing. I've only made them for people at work just for fun.

Trent,

Yes, you need to add the liquid so they will stick together. I used Bailey's Irish Cream on mine. They were really good!

I only used sweetened condensed milk and they stayed together great and was firm enough to stay on the stick.
