cake balls redux

By ronnie

Someone requested the cake balls make a reappearance, and I strive to please. Plus it offered me a chance to try out tempering chocolate correctly.

It turns out I still suck at working with chocolate.

The chocolate set properly this time but it was so much harder to work with that the cake balls came out lumpy and extra ugly. It didn’t help that I used more frosting in the cake ball mixture this time and so the balls themselves are softer and squishier, and thus more likely to fall apart when being dipped in warm chocolate.

Good thing ugly cake balls are still delicious.
