Anyone for recycling some leftover cake?
When I make a cake, I make a big one and there are always a lot of leftovers, just like this left over piece of Princess Castle Cake from my daughters birthday. I have found the perfect ratio of frosting to cake is what is on a piece of frosted cake already! I know this piece looks a little rough, I had to pick off the flowers and anything I didn't want mixed in the cake balls, all also cut the brown part off the bottom before squishing the cake into cake balls.
I rolled all of the balls and then put in the refrigerator to chill. I heated up the Chocolate Candiquik and prepared to dip. I found cake balls a little more difficult than cake pops because there isn't a stick to shake the excess chocolate off with! One by one I got them covered and placed on waxed paper. They didn't look that pretty undressed, the bottom part was driving me crazy!
I added a mini cupcake liner and they dressed up quite nicely, covering those not so pretty bottoms!
Amazing idea. I would never have thought to do this and the cupcake liners definitely cover up the messy bottom as well as adding a great pop of colour. Thanks so much for sharing at our Link It Up Thursday party.

Now that's my kind of recycling! Those are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo nice:) I find that the bottoms are always sort of ugly looking, not nice like a cake pop, so the little wrappers are perfect!
