Cool. I *love* those CC Google docs.

I have them bookmarked, I think, but I usually just find a post by fiddlesticks, then click on the links in her signature.

One question I have: Do most people who make cake specifically for cake balls use a standard mix or an extended/doctored recipe? Does it matter whether the cake is light/fluffy (standard mix) or more dense (doctored)?

I want to try a set using a DH Orange cake mix that's been sitting in my cupboard for a few months. Mix the cake with Gran Marnier and maybe a little cream cheese, then dip in Dark Chocolate and garnish with a little bit of candied orange peel.

When you sell cake balls in a dozen what do you package them in? I know one person said the clear containers but I don't know where to get those around here...any other ideas...

I wondered about using a treat bag-with a styro piece cut to sit in the bottom. It could be covered w/ a food safe, colored saran or wrap, etc. Then stack up the cake balls-like a mini tower ie: a dozen. Tie off w/ a ribbon. I haven't actually tried this-to know if the bag is tall enough, etc. Just a thought rolling around in my head!

Lovemesomecake, what kinda places do you have around you? Cake supply store, Michaels, Floral shop or floral supply store, Big Box Warehouse store???? Why even some fast food places or a donut shop might carry some and let you buy some from them

I have Michaels and Hobby Lobby but I've never seen the clear containers there... What is the cost of each container? (average)

For me anywhere from 15 cents to $1.00 depending on where I buy to size.

Sorry if someone has already asked this question, but have you ever frozen cake balls? I'm sure you can do it before you coat them with chocolate, but what about after?

Yes Pancake, they have and I read that some people freeze the finished product. I personally do and will not.

Luvmesomecake, you may want to check out an online site to order some containers. Try Uline products. I know they carry them. I guess it will just depend on your budget.

Still haven't read all of this thread but here's a few pics of my cake ball trees from a couple of years ago. One of my favorite flavors is Chocolate Cake with crushed (or should I say smashed) Almond Joy candy bars inside. I eat the almond on top of the candy bar while I make the balls - just gotta take care of the cook!
