hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! my weekend was perfect until about a 45 mins ago when i attempted to make my 1st batch of cakeballs! so excited, i baked another box of cake mix! what the hell was i thinking? it was a complete FAILURE! seriously, what is the secret to getting the chocolate over the cakeball w/out breaking? UGH....so basically, i FAILED cakeballs 101! so embarrassed, i know! LOL!!

How fun! I'm a follower too.
But more importantly...cakeballs. I had the same problem the first time I made them. I figured out that it is sooo much better if you freeze them first. After you make the balls, place them on a cookie sheet. Put that in the freezer. They won't freeze super hard but they will get much firmer. My other tip is to use the chocolate candy melts and NOT chocolate chips. Chips are made to not melt- so they don't. Or not well. And therefor don't coat well. The candy melts are intended to melt and look pretty. And for melting the chocolate, use a double boiler, not the microwave. It will keep the chocolate at an even and melted temperature.
Even with all of that, by the end I had cake loss in the chocolate. But no one has ever complained when I show up with them as a treat. I use sprinkles to cover up any flaws.
I have found cake balls to be kind of tricky! But, after several attempts I think I've got it down!
Cute address book!
