CAKE TRUFFLES
A great way to use up leftover cake, or just to make all on their own. I found this at Cake Central and my family enjoys these a lot!

Steps:
- Mix cake, water, oil and eggs and bake as directed on box.
- Place cooled cake or scraps into a bowl in large pieces.
- Using a fork, crumble the cake into a nice crumb.
- Crumbled cake will be soft and fluffy.
- Pour in liquid coffee creamer judging by eye, until a medium sized puddle forms.
- Put on decorator's/food safe gloves and begin mixing the crumb liquid mixture.
- The cake central site says to use gloved hands because it's easier to get the feel of the mixture for consistency reasons rather then using a fork or spoon but you can use a fork or spoon if you'd prefer.
- Mix until a soft mushy dough forms.
- Once you get the mixture to the consistency you would like it, roll a small amount into a ball using the palms of your hands, or a cookie scoop, or a melon baller; anything will work for this.
- Place each ball on a platter.
- Place platter into the freezer for about 30-90 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place chocolate to be melted in a microwave safe bowl, microwave following melting directions.
- After removing platter from freezer, take one ball at a time, and roll it around in the melted chocolate with the help of a spoon.
- Place dipped balls back onto the parchment paper lined tray for drying.
- TIP: Store frozen - un-dipped - cake balls in an air tight container sealed with both lid and plastic wrap. Remove just before dipping to help the chocolate coating set.
- They are best served cold.

VANILLA CAKE TRUFFLES
A friend brought this dessert to a baby shower. They are so easy to make and everyone loves them. I make them in lemon, chocolate and strawberry, but, the vanilla seems to be the favorite. They are so cute and are perfect for wedding or baby showers!!

CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE CAKE
Steps:
- For the truffles: Combine the chocolate, cream and butter in a small heatproof bowl set over simmering water and let melt. When almost melted, remove from heat and stir the mixture until smooth. Stir in your flavoring of choice and refrigerate until thick enough to mound on a spoon, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
- Line a baking tray with waxed or parchment paper. Scrape the chocolate mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a #3 plain tip. Pipe 8 (1-inch) mounds onto the prepared tray. Place 1 raspberry in the center of each chocolate mound and pipe a little more of the chocolate mixture to enclose completely. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- For the cake: Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or coat with vegetable spray, 8 oversize muffin cups (4-inches wide and 2-inches deep) or 1 1/4-cup custard cups. Line bottoms with rounds of waxed paper.
- In the top of a double boiler or a small heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt together the chocolate and butter, cool slightly.
- Meanwhile in the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle or beaters, beat the eggs, egg yolks and sugar on high speed until tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Scrape in the chocolate mixture and, on low speed, beat until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the flour, using a rubber spatula. Spoon a little of the batter into each of the prepared cups, top with 1 truffle, and cover with the remaining batter. Arrange the cups on a baking tray and bake until the edges of the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the cups, 12 to 13 minutes.
- Let stand 10 minutes. Invert onto individual dessert plates and carefully peel off the paper. Serve warm. Spoon softly whipped cream or ice cream next to each cake and, if desired, garnish with a few fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.
CAKE TRUFFLES
This recipe is from Bakerella, is super popular, and is very good. They are time consuming, especially if you make them for the first time, so plan for a couple days. This is a unique treat to give as a gift or to serve at a bridal shower, a holiday party, or any get together. Enjoy! Prep time does not include chilling time.

Steps:
- Cook the cake as directed on the box for a 13 X 9 cake.
- After the cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into a large bowl. Make sure any parts that have a more crusty texture (from the outside edge of the pan) are picked out.
- Mix the cake thoroughly with the cream cheese frosting (like you would mix meatloaf). Make sure the cake is moist enough to roll into balls, but not mushy; you may not need to use all of the frosting (I find that about 3/4 of the container is a good amount).
- Roll the mixture into quarter-size balls and lay on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet.
- Chill for several hours (you can speed this up by putting in the freezer).
- Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package.
- Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use two spoons to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.).
- Decorate as desired.
- NOTES:.
- For steps 3 and 4, I found it works very well to wear powder-free latex gloves (if you're not allergic). I already have them for cutting jalapenos. They don't stick to the cake, and no coloring gets on your hands (if you're working with a red velvet cake, like in my eyeball pictures).
- If using small sprinkles to decorate, use a 1/4 teaspoons measuring spoon, and sprinkle a little on the top of each cake truffle before the chocolate coating firms up.
- I chilled my cake truffles in the refrigerator overnight (for step 5), and they were easy to work with.
- I used a 1 lb. bag of candy melts from the craft store, but I ran out near the last 1/3 of my cake truffles, so I covered the rest with either powdered sugar or drizzled semi-sweet chocolate (therefore, I recommend using more than one bag of candy melts, or a couple of packages of candy bark available at most grocery stores).
- The recipe says it makes 40-50 cake truffles, but I usually get about 88 (I must roll them smaller).

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Using either a hand mixer or a stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and creamy. Beat in the molasses and egg and continue beating until fully incorporated. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves and salt and mix well.
- Alternating the dry ingredients with the milk, slowly add to the wet ingredients, while mixing on low, until fully incorporated. Add 1/2 of the milk to the creamed butter, then 1/2 of the flour mixture. Repeat this process and mix until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the cake to cool.
- Once the cake has cooled, crumble the cake using the tongs of a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl, making sure to break the cake apart really well. Add the Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the cake truffles and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Once all the balls have been formed, chill the cake truffles for an hour in the refrigerator.
- After an hour, melt the white chocolate over a double boiler by placing it in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water. Making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Once the chocolate is melted, dip the cake truffles into the chocolate and, using 2 forks, gently turn the cake in the chocolate. Place the chocolate covered cake truffles back on the wax paper and top with the chopped pistachios. Return them to the fridge to set, about 20 minutes. (See Cook's Note)
- Using a handheld mixer, or a stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter together until light and creamy. Add cream cheese slowly, one piece at a time, fully incorporating it after each addition. Add the grated ginger, juice, zest and vanilla and beat until fluffy and fully combined.

Steps:
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and position a rack on top of one. Set aside.
- Crumble the cake in a large bowl. Add the coconut flakes, frosting, pineapple juice and coconut extract and mix with your hands until fully combined and smooth.
- Using damp hands or gloves, scoop out 3 tablespoons of the mixture and form into a compact egg shape (about 2 inches tall by 1 1/2 inches wide). Transfer to the rack on the baking sheet, standing it upright. Repeat until you have 10 eggs total.
- Add 10 ounces of the candy melting wafers and 5 teaspoons of the coconut oil to a medium microwave-safe liquid measuring cup. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the melting wafers and coconut oil are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the mixture over the cake truffles to coat completely. As soon as the coating has just set, dip a small offset spatula in hot water, wipe clean and slide under each truffle to release. Transfer to the lined baking sheet. Set aside in the freezer while you proceed.
- Add 4 ounces candy melting wafers and 3/4 teaspoon coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the melting wafers and coconut oil are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small piping bag fitted with a small round tip.
- Lay the truffles on their sides with the bottoms facing you. Pipe the candy mixture in a diagonal crosshatch pattern on the top of each truffle. By the time you finish piping the last one, the first one should be dry. Flip over and pipe a crosshatch on the other side. Stand each truffle upright and put in the freezer.
- Cut the green licorice twists into batons about 1 3/4 inches long. Peel each string, leaving the base intact, so they look like fronds.
- Add the remaining 2 ounces candy melting wafers and 1/4 teaspoon coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the melting wafers and coconut oil are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Dip the fronds into the melted candy and place on top of the pineapple truffles. Freeze until set, about 2 minutes.

Steps:
- SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:.
- 1 (1 1/2-inch-diameter) ice cream scoop & 20 to 25 popsicle sticks.
- FOR THE CAKE POPS:.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together boxed cake mix, eggs, water and oil until well combined.
- Divide the batter in half. Color one half with pink food coloring and the other half with purple.
- Pour the pink batter into a prepared pan and the purple into the other. Bake for about 35 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
- Once cool, crumble each cake into separate bowls. Add 2 tablespoons frosting to each bowl. Using your hands, mix the frosting with the crumbs until it all comes together.
- Firmly press pieces of pink and purple dough into a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop. Roll into a ball between palms of hands. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Chill in the fridge, about 30 minutes.
- DECORATE THE CAKE POPS:.
- In a deep bowl, melt the melting chocolate in the microwave at half power using 30-second intervals.
- Dip lollipop sticks into the melted chocolate and then into the cake truffles.
- Let set 10 minutes.
- Dip the truffles into melted chocolate. Carefully tap the pop on the side of the bowl to get rid of any excess chocolate. Place on parchment paper to set.
- Roll out two cylinders of fondant 1" long 1/4" wide. Spiral them together and pinch at the top to form a horn. Repeat to create 20 horns.
- Place a teaspoon of gold luster dust in a small bowl and toss the horns in the gold dust. Set aside to harden slightly.
- Roll a small amount of fondant into two pea size balls. Flatten and pinch at the top to make 2 triangle ear shapes. Repeat to make 20 sets of ears.
- Use a pink food writing pen to color a small triangle in the center of each ear.
- Twist and pull the lollipop sticks to remove them from each truffle.
- Cut 20 3-inch and 20 1-inch pieces of sour belt. Leaving 1/2" at the top, cut the longer belts, vertically between each color, into small strips. Cut the front of the shorter pieces into a triangle and then use small cuts inwards to create fringe.
- Use melted chocolate to attach mane to the top of each truffle. Angle the longer piece to the side so the mane can be seen in the front. Use melted chocolate to attach front hair piece.
- Use melted chocolate to attach the horn on the center top and ears on either side of the mane.
- Use black food writing pen to draw eyes, eyelashes, and nose on the truffles.

- Use your hands to knead the frosting into the cake scraps. Keep kneading until you can't see the frosting anymore. It should all come together into a ball that's moist yet not sticky.
- Use a tablespoon-sized scoop to form the cake mixture into balls and put onto a cookie sheet. Refrigerate the balls for at least 15 minutes; if they aren't cold, they may fall apart when dipped into chocolate.
- When they come out of the refrigerator, set a cooling rack over a cookie sheet. When you place the dipped balls on the cooling rack, the extra chocolate will drip onto the cookie sheet and you'll be able to reuse it.
