“In cooking (baking), as in all the arts, simplicity is the sign of perfection.” —Curnonsky
That quote was obviously written about cake balls.
I love making cake balls. They are the easiest, but most delicious little creations ever.
Remember those Poké Ball Cupcakes I made? Well, I somehow had a ton of frosting leftover, so the obvious choice was to make cake balls. I had to make these quickly for a party, so I made these a little differently. I just used the straight cake mix and frosting. It was super sweet, so I suggest making these small!
My next cake ball challenge is layered cake balls from the Sugar Turntable. Don’t these look good??
