Cake Ball 911.
[x] So...okay. I love making cake balls. Love it. No, really. It's kind of a messy pain in the you-know-what, but even still...it's a labor of love. And for the most part, I think I've got the method down pat. I can make cake balls (the preferential choice being red velvet cake + cream cheese frosting + chocolate almond bark) with the best of them, but I balk when it comes time to send them to the firehouse with my husband. I don't know...they don't look good. They're not pretty. I've tried numerous dipping techniques (toothpick no, fork yes) but even still, they end up with a flat bottom and look less...round. I don't get it. I want to get them to look pretty, but I don't know how to do it. I tap, tap, tap the excess off all the balls, but even still...they're not nearly as appealing as I want them to be. Whenever possible, I try to mask their imperfections with a little drizzle, but even still...
In fairness, none of the guys at the firehouse have ever criticized their appearance (at least not as far I know), but I feel almost bad sending along such unattractive food. What's a girl to do? Anyone? Anyone? ANYONE? :) <3
