Product ID: 2261988
Just as delightful to eat as they are portable and fun to make, cake balls have been making appearances across the country in bakeries, upscale restaurants, children's parties, and weddings. Innovating mom and prolific home baker, blogger, and author, Dede Wilson ushers in this popular trend in baking with over 60 delicious and decadent recipes. Cake balls are a combination of crumbled cake and frosting rolled into generous bite-size rounds and then dipped in a coating, usually dark, milk, or white chocolate. There is a cake ball for every party, holiday, bake sale, and any other occasion, and these sweet treats are sure to be a standout in an array of ordinary baked goods. Cake Balls begins with nine basic cake recipes and ten basic frostings, ganaches, and glazes, which Wilson spins, with some design tricks and extra ingredients, into 63 distinctive creations, each handsomely photographed in full color. The recipes include kid-friendly ideas, such as Jam-Filled Cake Balls, S'mores, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake Balls; sophisticated treats like Cocoa-Dusted Truffle Cake Balls and Cranberry-Toffee-Walnut Cake Balls; and whimsical creations like Teddy Bears, Cake Ball Pumpkins, and the statement-making Cake Ball Tower, made of cream puffs. Wilson offers inspiration for baking pros with tips for original cake ball inventions, and guidance for rookies and bakers-on-the-go with tips on making cake balls from a mix. Review: Love it!!! - Love this book. Found it in the library & had to buy a copy. Have made several of the cake balls & they are all a great hit at parties & pot lucks. The zesty lemon balls are a massive hit with everyone. The author recommends some pretty hard to get and pricey covering chocolate but I use the stuff from the supermarket & they still taste wonderful. Just make sure you don't use chocolate chips for covering. It just does not work... Review: Cake Ball Heaven - This is a fantastic book with a lot of tasty and fun recipes.So glad I added it to my collection

Great Recipes
I gave it as a gift to my girlfriend who loves to make this kind of stuff for parties. The book is very easy to follow and some of the stuff you can make looks really awesome and tastes even better.

Great cake ball book
Very informative. She gives great advice about what kinds and brands of ingredients to use as well as where you can find them.

Love this book!
This "how to" cook book for manually made cake balls is perfect. I have a cake pop maker and my pops didn't come out half as nice as they did by manually making them. Can't wait to keep trying more recipes!

Stunning, delectable treats!
I just made the Key Lime Balls, the flavor is divine, delicate and at the same time intense. I also used the white cake recipe and added fresh cranberries, baked as directed and then made cranberry cake balls without any other binder, just crushing the cake and the cranberries. I covered them in red Wilton chocolate and put dried cranberries on top. They were amazing. In the future I will use her cake recipes for regular cakes, they are perfect.

Not great
The seller shipped this product in a very reasonable time, and it was just as expected. However, I am very disappointed in the quality of the recipes in the book. Just wasn't what I was looking for, but hard to tell by the description and sample pages.
