Cakebons for Miaschia

My good friend, Erricka, asked me to make dessert for her daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner. I wanted something fun and different but easy to eat. This was the first time I made something for a special occasion, so of course, my first attempt was not pretty...but they tasted good! My second batch looked much better so I'm hoping these get more attractive each time. Sometimes looks really do matter!




Cakebons adapted from Bakerella.

1 box cake mix, any flavor (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can frosting, any flavor (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
wax paper

1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50)
4. Chill for several hours. (They worked better for me when chilled in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Bakerella says to use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.) I'm a rebel and used mom's candy dipper because I love using her stuff when I can. :)
It’s easier to work with when it’s hot and the cake balls are COLD.

I used lemon cake with lemon frosting and white chocolate, strawberry cake with strawberry frosting and milk chocolate and butter yellow cake with cream cheese frosting and dark chocolate.
