OMG I'm so excited I discovered cake truffles tonight!! I was bored and wanted to try somthing new, so I thought I would give the cake truffles a world....and OMG everyone is right those are the best thigns I have ever eaten.
With one cake I made german choc. ones, turtle ones, and some with icecream in them. Its like 3 different cakes with one mix. They are so moist and yummy... the only problem I can't stop eating them
my husband wants them for his birthday instead of a cake lol.... I love this website I wouldve never known about them if I wasn't addicted to this site
Thanks everyone who posted recipes for them on here.
Okay.... mushed up cake and icing and other crap added are NOT truffles. Call 'em cake balls, or call 'em cruffles..... but actual truffles they ain't!
I love cake truffles. I saw one website where they referred to them as Cruffles. I think the person is a CC'er. Congrats, isn't CC great? Lots of helpful people sharing information!
I call them cake truffles, too. My husband didn't like it when I talked about cake balls so he asked me to call them cake truffles. And I'm not sure how you can say calling cake balls truffles is like calling ganache poo...
Ha.. I made Cake Truffles tonight too.. I mixed bc and Raspberry filling with white cake & rolled into balls and dipped bottom 1/2 in white chocolate put in freezer to set. then dipped the top half in sprinkles really cute!! some I dipped in toasted coconut too.. Tastes like zingers! haha.

I agree, I think because the are referred to as "Cake Truffles" and not "Truffles" it's prefectly fine. That way someone doesn't buy/eat "Cake Truffles" when they think they are buying/eating "Chocolate Truffles".
"Chocolate Truffles" are named after "Truffles" which are tubers that grow in the ground (Pigs have been used to seek them out in the past) because they resemble the tuber truffles.
So technically if someone ordered truffles they may be expecting tuber type truffles and receive chocolate ones. Chocolate truffles are so much less expensive. Truffle oil is what I use, one day I may buy a Truffle. Maybe.
my point was I tried somthing new I found on this website and it tasted great.. I was excited... not so much ne more..... bcake1960- urs sound delicious!! whatever you want to call them (which I didnt really think it mattered that much everyone knew what I was talking about) they are good
I prefer to call them cake truffles, too. It just sounds nicer to me and of course they don't compare to actual truffles. But eh, people know what I mean when I talk about them and I don't have to call them balls which I only associate with testicles these days. "Cruffles" isn't descriptive for anyone who has no clue what they are.
Either way, call them what you like. But yes, they are quite delicious.
I CALL THEM CAKE TRUFFLES lol. I dont say truffles, cuz the yarent jus ttruffles they ARE cake truffles tho, and they are not "mushed up cake and icing" lol, I use liqours, and pie fillings.
And I dont see how Cruffles is better the cake truffles lol........ I think your alone in this one
nicoles0419- there are so many flavors! Happy to have you on the cake truffle wagon!!!
Maybe I'll just start calling them cake testicles.
lol..why not? we can start a trend. "truffles" is clearly a no go! hahaha.
but nicole! ive just made my first batch today! i made two flavors.. one choc caramel and one mocha flavors.
I wonder if ill wet peoples appetite if i offer them a caramel flavored testicle? mmmmm...i see them all clamoring for a try now!

I never said "I" call them Cruffles, I said a fellow CC'er calls them that on their website. My point was people can call them WHATEVER they want. I mean who cares, it's very trivial to me to worry about what someone else wants to call what they make.

Hey that's OK. I was just clarifying because of an earlier post about it being "stupid". That there are a few nice cakers that call them cruffles. I personally call them Cake Truffles or Cake Pops (I really prefer putting them on a stick).
Maybe I'll just start calling them cake testicles.
Oh my gosh! that's too funny!
Nicoles0419, there is a multi page thread on cake balls with several combinations of cake and filling. I will look for the link and post it for you.
Another name you could call them is cake bites. We have a new cupcake store in my city that sells cake bites (named cake bites on their website) in addition to cupcakes.
Here is the cake ball thread - there is a google document listed on this thread where computer talented cc'ers have organized the different flavors. HTH!

LOL.
You know those "If you could meet anyone in the world" questions? I'd pick mensch. I just envision the experience to be so entertaining.
I'm so happy your cake balls/truffles/cake truffles/cruffles came out well! My first batch are almost ready to dip. Hopefully they'll be good too. Don't let nit-picking by others get you down.
This thread is making my side ache.... too funny! cake "testicles"... sigh... glad your "cruffle/truffle/balls" came out well. Just a thought - aren't Rocky Mountain Oysters a more appealing name for ..uh.. bull parts... anyway, how about Rocky Mountain Truffles? Cake oysters? ugh, this gets uglier and uglier!
Ha.. I made Cake Truffles tonight too.. I mixed bc and Raspberry filling with white cake & rolled into balls and dipped bottom 1/2 in white chocolate put in freezer to set. then dipped the top half in sprinkles really cute!! some I dipped in toasted coconut too.. Tastes like zingers! haha.
Bcake~ can I ask you a question please? What did you use for your raspberry filling? I used a can of pie filling with a french vanilla cake. I used the whole can because I didn't think they were raspberry enough. But then they were too moist. I just wanted to see what you did. Thank you for your help.
I also made lemon one this weekend (vanilla cake, homemade lemon curd with white chocolate), chocolate mint (choco cake, with whipped Andes Candy ganache, with milk chocolate), cinnamon bun from the other thread. Lemon was by far the favorite! They were yummy!
lol ya'll are crazy ...i havent posted in a year or more but i enjoyed the laughs on this one an by the way they are great an i call them cake bites
