Works For Me Wednesday-Rolling Cake Balls

29 Sep posted by TidyMom

21 Comments

I made cake balls a few weeks ago for The Bug Man’s Birthday.

This was my forth time making them,

and the part I dislike the most is rolling all of the cake balls.

Then it dawned on me what would make this part easier……

I bought a cookie dough scoop !

This made it SO much easier!

I didn’t have to roll all of those cake balls AND they all came out the same size!

If you’re not familiar with how to make these little bits of heaven…

click my picture below to see my post the first time I made them!

Great idea. Making cake balls is always so messy! But worth it!

I so just had one of those, why didn't I think of that, moment. I have made bagillions of cake balls and have always hand rolled. I. Hate. That. Part.
Thanks for the idea.
