Cake Balls
What are cake balls? Cake Balls are an old southern tradition that is slowly becoming popular all across the country.. The Cake Ball Company based in Austin, Texas is now selling their cake balls nationwide, including the Neiman Marcus Catalog. We feel Cake Balls will be the next hot dessert trend -- the new cupcake. Traditionally these cake balls are vanilla or chocolate cake mixed with a little icing and then dipped in chocolate. We start with chocolate and vanilla cake and then add other ingredients to make German Chocolate, Italian Cream Cake, Raspberry, Mojito, The Elvis Special, Chocolate Buzzz, Dreamsicle and many more. Each student will make and decorate one type of cake ball. Finished Cake Balls will be divided equally among the students to take home. You will receive all recipes used in the class.
