I kept wandering how to get the cake into nice fine crumbs. Never occurred to me to use my food processor. I saw this on line some where. So I gave it a try. It Turned out perfect.
See how fine the crumbs are!
This is one cake mix baked and crumbled. To this add 1/2 cup of a nice thick butter cream frosting.
Mix it up by hand until the frosting is thoroughly mixed. Form into balls or desired shape.
I used a scoop to insure uniform size. Refrigerate until nice and firm. Dip sticks into melted
chocolate and insert into cake balls.
Then dip them into chocolate shaking off excess. Let dry.
I used Royal Icing to pipe on the lines for the basket balls.
Here they are packages up and ready to go. These are for a friend who
wanted them for her kids snack for their basketball games.
