Making Cake Balls...

So, everyone keeps raving about these tasty little treats and there are whole blogs dedicated to them (look up Bakerella.blogspot.com for the cutest ideas!) but I'm going to have to practice a bit more I think! Basic idea is: Bake a cake. Crumble it up. Mix in a can of frosting. Roll into balls. Freeze about an hour. Decorate! Our plan was to make spiders by sticking licorice legs into the sides of the balls but the balls were too frozen and the chocolate hardened too quickly... So we just made monsters instead! I just let the boys go to town:

Yep, fun to do, need practice, we'll be doing again!
