This just goes to show how much I really don't have any secrets! Especially about being messy!
I was a little bored today so I Googled myself - yes, that's right, I Googled "Dene Brooke." I like to see what other people see if they were to ever Google me.
Well, imagine my surprise when I saw something about Dene Brooke recipes. You are so funny. You do know that I don't make them up, right. I just change
the names (sometimes) and then make it so often that everyone thinks it's mine.
There's a new one I tried called Cake Balls. So easy and the kids would have fun making them. Found it on a blog called Bakerella.
I used a box Red Velvet cake. Bake it according to the instructions on the box. Don't get fancy and make layers - just a regular
cake pan. After the cake has completely cooled, crumble it up (yes, Katie, with your hands) into a big bowl. Then take a can of
cream cheese frosting - see, I didn't even have to get anything dirty making the frosting because I used the ready made kind.
Anyway, mix that can of frosting in with the crumbled cake. Come on, Katie, let the kids do it with their hands. You might even
need to get your hands dirty too.
After the frosting and cake are completely combined then roll it into small balls and place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with
wax paper. Put the cookie sheet with the cake balls on them in the fridge - or the freezer to speed up the process. When they are
cooled and set enough - melt some Almond Bark - the same stuff you use for the Elk Droppings. Roll the cake balls in the melted
Almond Bark so they are completely covered.
Depending on the season you could melt some white Almond Bark and put food coloring in it and drizzle it over the chocolate covered cake ball,
Like pink and red for Valentine's day, green for St. Patrick's day, Red, white and blue for 4th of July, or red and green for Christmas.
Whitney is make this for her Book Club in Columbia. They are reading Twilight - again. Whitney is going to call them "Blood Balls."
Can you believe she sent that? Well I can. I love you Dene!

too freak'n funny, I might have to try that recipe too, not now of course, but when I get to Fl. your right she does know you too well.. But I'm with her, let your kids do this one....
I love looking at the recipes on Bakerella but have yet to make one. You'll have to let me know if the cake pops are worth "the mess" :-)
Not too sure I'd eat blood balls, that sounds too much like some canibal delicacy, but the chocolate version does sound quite tasty, even if the finished product does remind me of a song from our evil south park watching days . . .
