Fall is coming. The trees in Michigan are starting to turn. Time to plant mums and visit the apple orchards.This is my favorite time to bake.( Now until Christmas) I love to cook around the seasons. In the winter I love to cook soups,chili,stews and pot roast. Lots of comfort foods that involve ovens or crock pots that make your house feel warm and smell great. Spring is a great time to start bringing out cold salads and ice tea. Summer of course involves grilling hot dogs(only Kogel Vienna's )and chips and dip.(YUM) Fall I think is my most favorite time of the year. I love to bake apple pies and pumpkin muffins. Yesterday was a friends daughters birthday and she told me all about these little bites of heaven she made for her birthday treat for school. There called cake balls. She bakes a cake and when its done she puts it in a bowl and uses a mixer to mix it and a can of frosting together until the cake is moist with the frosting, then with an ice cream scooper she makes little balls and puts them on a cookie sheet to freeze. After frozen she melts chocolate and dips the balls in the chocolate and puts them on a cookie sheet to dry. Can't wait to try these. They sound like a cross between a cake truffle or a cake bonbon . Easy to transport and not as messy as a cupcake. Give these a try and let me know how they turn out. I think I'll make them tonight with my kids. Maybe we'll get creative and add some chocolate chips in with the frosting and then roll them in nuts after their dipped in the chocolate.YUMMY!!!
Be creative and don't eat too many of them!
