I am making cake balls for the first time. I have the 4oz.bars of Ghirardelli Chocolate. Is that ok to use to coat them in? Or is there something else I should be using?
I use the chocolate candy wafers from Hobby Lobby or Michaels they firm up nicely and taste great.....
Everytime I try to make cake balls they never ever turn out LOL, they are always to soft or soggy.
Do you ladies have a secret to making them?
Hi..Do you pop them in the freezer for a bit? Also..try not to add too much binder..ie buttercream. I find if I add too much they are really soft. I use candy melts to coat mine. I add a bit of Crisco or veggie oil to thin them out a bit before coating my cake balls.
MJK350 the chocolate shoud work just fine. As for G_Cakes the more filling or whatever you mix with them, the softer they get. Maybe try mixing less into them.

I wanted to use the Ghirardelli Chocolate to coat the Cake Balls and melt Nutella to use as the binder.
YUM! That sounds awesome! Just add a bit of Nutella at a time till you can roll the cake into balls. You may have to thin the chocolate out a bit but it might be okay if you heat it over a double boiler.
Good luck!

Thanks for your tips. The recipe I found here on CC said you can also melt the Nutella in the microwave.

Thats quite alright. That is how we all learn from here.
The cake balls came out great. Thanks for your help and tips. When I put them in the refridgerator to chill they come out a little messy on the bottom. Is there a trick to making the chocolate smooth all around like I see in some pictures? Is there a way to do it on skewers?
