And Mmm.... I have a tasty treat to make up for my lack of writing.
If any of you follow me on pintrest then you saw me post this from here
Totally amazing, right?! Well I loved this but I don't have a handy little cakeball cooker. But, I put my thinking cap on and made these... (Disclaimer: I know I need to start using a camera other than my phone)
Yummy polka dot cupcakes that were sooooo easy!
Here's how I did it. This will make 48 cupcakes. If you want to make 24, split the cake ball cake in half and freeze the other half, use half a container of icing and only use one batch of cake batter for the cupcakes.
1) Made 48 Bakerella Cake Balls
If you don't know what that is...
Buy 1 box of cake mix (yes, use the box and don't bother making this from scratch) and 1 container of coordinating frosting. Bake the cake according to directions (add food coloring if wanted) and let cool. Cut into fourths then use your hands to crumble them all up. Once crumbled finely, mix in the container of icing until you can't see the color of the icing. I use a cookie scoop to scoop out 48 drops onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Put them in the freezer for about 20 minutes then take out and form into round balls.
2) Freeze the cake balls overnight.
3) Either double a cake recipe of your choice or buy two boxes... they both work fine. Fill your cupcake liners only half full and drop one frozen cake ball into the center of each one. Don't push it to the bottom as it will sink on its own during the baking.
4) Bake and let cool. Ice with your choice of frosting but I'd advise going light since the centers are so sweet.
5) Serve and scarf... Seriously... My husband ate about 3. :)
