With flowers and an adorable teddy bear...
And a pretty box of chocolates...
And he took in a huge box of the red velvet cake balls/truffles that I made on Monday. To be honest, I wasn't too impressed with them. They were really, really sweet and I ultimately wished that I had just made the cake as opposed to the dense, overly-sweet cake balls. With the added cream cheese frosting to the finished cake it just became too sweet.
Ingredients:
cake mix (and the ingredients to make the cake)
cream cheese frosting
almond bark or candy coating
Bake the cake and allow it too cool completely.
Crumble the cake into a bowl... my favorite part of making these.
Add the can of cream cheese frosting (I didn't add the whole thing because it was getting too runny). It turns into a mushy consistency...
Roll into balls and place on wax paper and place the tray in the fridge until they are more solid.
Dip into chocolate.
I used vanilla and chocolate and let me tell you, the vanilla was a pain! If you poked the cake ball AT ALL it would leave residue and make it have red cake smears on the surface which for a perfectionist like me was quite infuriating.
Sorry for the bad "inside" picture of the cake ball... They're pretty just... TOO sweet and I didn't care for the consistency of the inside.
But... Happy late Valentine's Day!
