"Baby" sized cake ball cones

Okay...so I'm a HUGE fan of Bakeralla - she's amazing...suuuuper duper talented. I want to be her when I grow up. My first encounter with making her delish cake balls was a few months ago when I made cake pops for Valentine's Day. Can you please just check out this utterly fantastic book she literally just came out with...buy it NOW - and buy one for me when while you're at it! You're welcome.

Anyway - while reading her blog on my Google Reader last week, (just after I found out I'd be helping plan Alex's baby shower in only ONE week)...I stumbled upon this little jewel - first thought: "I AM MAKING THESE".

I did just that...BOO....YAAA:

My very 1st one!
So, I started baking both a white & a chocolate cake on Sunday morning...let them cool for a bit, crumbled, mixed in cream cheese frosting, got messy with goodness, was a cake ball making machine (see pic, I swear)...let them chill for the afternoon...then after K went to bed, I started assembling, dipping, & sprinkling away. For 3 freaking hours....sooooooooo worth it!

"eat meeee"

  5. I have searched just about everywhere for those "tiny" cones...no such luck! Where did you find them? I have needed them for several things that I have made but had to use the regular size ones...those look amazing!

    1. Hi Nicole...I found the tiny cones at a local restaurant called "Souplantation" (http://www.souplantation.com/locations/)... I just asked the manager on duty if I could buy a few packs off them ;-) If you don't have a Souplantation near you, I'd suggest online...Amazon? Here are small sugar cone ones:
