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!

i love bakeralla ... im not sure if i could make the cake balls though... earlier today i stumbled across this video from TLC dc cupcakes and it kinda is like your adorable cone cake balls! http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/dc-cupcakes-baking-tips/
ReplyDeleteZOMG - those look great! I saw that post on Bakerella's blog and totally want to do those too!! Are those standard sized cones - or did you buy mini ones from somewhere?
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, those are awesome.
ReplyDeletei canNOT handle how cute these are. i am 100% having these at my baby shower, done and DONE. you made them PERRRRRRFECT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteHi 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:
