Cake balls anyone?

So if you haven't had a cake ball just think cake, icing, and chocolate.... how could that possibly taste bad? Well they are delicious!!! Mike had been out of town all week and I wanted to make him something special so I thought I would give these a whirl! I found a recipes on All Recipes that a zillion reviews of which most said these were super easy!

Ok so you start with baking a cake. Well I have a problem even with baking a cake as my oven cooks super hot so I have to cook everything at a lower temp so I never know how long it will take! So I tend to over bake everything! Luckily you crumble up the cake so it doesn't have to be pretty! Then you put a WHOLE tub of icing with the cake crumbs... ummm I would like to just eat that with a spoon!!! Then roll the mixture into little balls - think meatballs- and stick them in the fridge for awhile. Now comes the hard part - melt some chocolate coating a roll the balls in the mix. Well mine kept falling off the toothpicks and they were NOT pretty. So all you experienced bakers out there have any tips on the chocolate coating part? But pretty or not they were super duper tasty and I really enjoyed making them!! But I must warn you before you try this out... the recipe makes a ton and they are super addictive!!! Enjoy!
