A Cherry covered in a chocolate cake ball? Yes Please!!
So this was my very first attempt with cake balls and it was quite hard and easy, lessons were learned and I got it down. First off use only a little frosting because the cake is already moist enough. Second when making these place them in the freezer before you dunk it the chocolate, that will help keep the cherry in the cake ball. I had lots of the cherries pull out of the cake ball mid dip!
Like I said lessons were learned so I am passing them onto you. All and all these were great and it is a perfect dessert for Valentines day because well that is coming up faster than we think.
