I have learned of a new trend in the wedding and bakery industry, and have decided to join in the fun. Cake balls are scrumptious, decadent morsels of cake, buttercream, and chocolate, all mixed together, rolled into balls, and dipped in chocolate. They can be large 2 1/2 " diameter sized balls placed on a tiered cupcake stand, for a wedding cake display, or small 1 1/2" diameter sized balls that can be served as part of a miniature pastry display, or given as wedding favors, presented in 2" square boxes, to your guests! What's really wonderful is that it's a new form of going "green"; utilizing "cake scraps", a by-product of leveling off wedding cake layers. Instead of throwing perfectly good extra cake away, I can make a tasty, moist, decadent chocolate dipped morsel, in unlimited choices of flavors.
