Christmas Orders

I made 5 kinds for 3 different orders last week. Here we have triple chocolate with peppermint on top, amaretto chocolate, red velvet and peanut butter chocolate. I also made the traditional triple chocolate with this batch.
But mmmm, triple chocolate sure is good with some crushed peppermint on top. Not that I am picking a favorite or anything. :-)

Just a few more orders to fill this week, including one tonight that I am working on now, and then I think I will try some fun shapes next week.

Birthday Party and Christmas Experiments

These dinosaur cake balls are for a little boy's first birthday party. They are double chocolate (a fan favorite) with sugar dinosaurs on top.

Since I had a few cake balls left over after making Dylan's birthday cake balls, I decided to experiment with some Christmas designs. Here's my first pass at making reindeer. There is room for improvement, but they are pretty cute little guys.

All wrapped up and ready to give Avery's teachers and my friends that I am meeting for lunch tomorrow. What a great treat!

Princess Parker's Cake Balls

Perfect for a dress-up tea party. These are chocolate cake balls with pink icing and a little "bling" on top.

Giving A Whole New Meaning to "The Great Pumpkin"

Olivia's Princess Party Cupcake Cake Balls

Great Family Treat

Jose purchased some cake balls "just because" for his family.

The Most Popular Reason To Go To A Party

double chocolate cake balls dipped in white chocolate coating.
French vanilla cake balls dipped in white and milk chocolate.
Lots and lots of refills ready to go when the trays started to empty, which was 5 minutes after the party started.
The only example of how the inside looked. The rest were eaten too fast to get a photo of. There were 80 cake balls at the start of the party. 1 survived the night.

Cupcake Cake Balls

I made these for my son's first birthday. They are really whimsical and fun for little kids. There is still a cake ball inside of that cupcake shell made of chocolate, which means it is cute and yummy!

Heaven

This is one my most popular cake ball. It is made with chocolate cake, chocolate icing and milk chocolate coating.

It is definitely a fan favorite!

Here's what they look like before I put sprinkles on them.

mmmm. And here is what they look like in the center.

You can order some for $1.50 each. Minimum purchase is 3 dozen. Email me at longhornamy@gmail.com if you are interested in placing an order.

seriously, no chocolate lover should live without tasting these!

French Vanilla with Chocolate and Red Velvet with White Chocolate

I made 2 different kinds of cake balls to take to a 4th of July celebration we went to on Saturday. The first was french vanilla cake with buttercream frosting and a chocolate coating on the outside. Here's how that one looks:


MMMM. EVEN MATT LIKED IT, which says a lot because Matt is not a fan of sweets in the least. I saw that he ate several of them and that is one of the best compliments I could have gotten.

Next I moved on to red velvet because I thought that would be festive for the occasion. They are made with red velvet cake and cream cheese icing.
Fun fact: Red Velvet cake balls turns your hands read when you roll them.
Then I dipped them in white chocolate. My neighbor texted me after I dropped off a container of various cake balls. She said that the red velvet ones "don't suck" which is the highest compliment from Marisa!

oh Boy...Here we go

After enough people tell you that you have missed your calling by not making cake balls all day every day, you start to wonder...

I am starting slow by making cake balls for friend's parties and see where it goes from there. I absolutely love baking and feeding people great sweets is my favorite way to show love, so this might just fill in some spaces in my life that needed extra energy.

I am starting today by making red velvet cake balls for a 4th of July celebration we are going to tomorrow. Pictures to follow later.
