cake truffle balls


Well I saw on Bakerella's blog all these cute little designs she did with the cake balls, and just had to finally try and make some myself.  There is no red velvet cake mix to be had in our area, so i just used a chocolate cake mix, and added the cream cheese frosting to it.   shaped them with a scoop,  and through in the freezer for a bit.  Then decided to go for the pumpkin look, spiderwebs on pumpkins, and ghosts.   It makes so many at one time. 50 of these little buggers.  I think next time i will freeze them and move them to bags for storage, and just take out enough for what ever i'm doing..  regardless, i started in and did  them all.  i melted the candy coating in the microwave, but i think next time i will try a double boiler, so i can keep the heat more consistant underneath the coating.   For a first attempt they turned out pretty good.
