Is there anyone here who doesn't like cake balls/pops?

I was so excited to finally try them but, after making them today, I realized I didn't like them at all. I used a nice most chocolate cake and pb and chocolate buttercream. Then I dipped them in chocolate like Bakerella's Martha Stewart video. Ick.

Everyone here seems to love these things. Am I the only one who'd just rather eat cake scraps and frosting?

First, I will say I've never tried one. Why? When I looked at the recipe(s) here on CC and saw it was a bunch of mooshed up cake with icing mixed in, it just sounded disgusting. Pure and simple disgusting.

When I clean off my counter of cake crumbs and icing bits, it's called garbage and it goes right in the trash can.

I've no desire to even try one after seeing the recipe.

Debi took the words right out of my mouth. They've never sounded good to me. We eat, as is, whatever I trim off my cakes. It never has time to sit around. Mashing it up with icing and filling just doesn't sound good to me at all.

I've only tried making them once and didn't really care for them at all. I think it was more a texture issue than taste. It's possible I could have added too much of the coffee creamer and made them too mushy, so I may have to try making them again sometime using buttercream.

I tried it once - I loved the first one, popped another in my mouth and said "ick". I love cake scraps, and i'll sometimes smear on some leftover filling, cream, or whatever. but why mash it up and ruin the texture, and mess up a good thing? I thought i'm the only one, guess not!

And here I thought I was the only one! LOL. It wouldn't occur to me to try and save any scraps. Like some of you have said, it's garbage. Now I don't know what to do. My husband actually liked them and they do look cute. Do I bring them to our family get together tommorrow or not? Hmmm. I hate to bring anything that I don't love myself but they were a fair amount of work.

I don't like any of the recipes I've seen around CC. I think that coffee creamer is too sweet and I just don't care for the texture.
I make coconut cake ALL the time, and always have leftovers from leveling the layers. I make my own version of cake balls with a little bit of coconut milk. I roll them and freeze them, dip them in chocolate and roll them in coconut. Their beautiful all done. I still dont care much for the texture, but they taste way better than the ones with coffee creamers or buttercream.

I have never tried making these, however was going to attempt tomorrow. Has anyone thought of deep frying them like donuts...I think the cake consistency would make them alot like donut holes. Just a thought, I have a bunch of scraps from a new recipe that didn't turn out and thought maybe it would be a good idea.

Add me to the list! I tried them once and ewwww! I just did not like the flavor and I thought I would eat anything dipped in chocolate.

Here's another question. Am I the only one who doesn't eat cake anymore? I just don't like the taste of cake and buttercream icing anymore. I love the smell, I just don't have the desire to eat it. I can eat chocolate buttercream on cake but that's about it. I used to LOVE cake. What happened?

Too much of a good thing maybe? I'm not at that stage yet. icon_biggrin.gif I still love cake but I'm getting picky about it. I do believe I'm a bit of a cake snob. icon_cry.gif
