I'm a Cake Ball-ah!

Get it?!?! Cake "ball-ah", as in gangster, except not...?? Anyways... I've spent the last week stressing over the intricacies of cake balls for Brooke's upcoming shower this weekend. Let me just say this: the recipe I had SUCKED. It told me to mix a WARM cake and icing to create the ball mixture. Um, wrong-o! This basically reverted the cooked cake back to dough. Nasty. No one wants to eat cake dough dipped in coating. No one wants to wonder if they are about to contract salmonella from a shower treat. Ugh.

So, needless to say, last night, we tried again, with a different technique that I will detail later.

SO MUCH BETTER! Lemon cake balls rock my world!

And, friends rock my world. I feel so blessed to not only have Brooke here, but to also have several buds who don't even know Brooke offering to help me prep for her shower. Thank you, wonderful ladies!
