Trial & error helps you help others. If you're going after a video tutorial to teach, your results have to be consistent to the likeness of an actual Cake Ball/Truffle. Professional Baking/Cooking sites along with various Cookbooks have great instructions & results! :O) Try using less icing to get a dough-like texture making it easier to shape. Try candy melts or almond bark, which melts smoother. Then fully dip the truffles completely coat. Have fun :o)
@jaredmyman You need to calm your ass. Like calm down her recipe came out really good and if you're a man than why the hell are you searching out to make cake balls? exactly. now stfu.
You used too much frosting, it should have the consistency of playdoh, not glue. Also the shape was off, and the chocolate was either not fully melted or it had seized, which gave the chocolate its lumpy grainy look.
If you cut the cake before letting it cool you can add half a can of icing put into the cumbled cake and mix with spoon then grab the mixture roll in your hands and put it in the freezer it will save you lots of time & make the balls come out looking smoother.
@CuPcAkEaTeR123 Instead of being hateful, can you tell her how to do it right. I know it might be a stretch for you, but a little help goes a long way. I don't ever remember hearing in the video a claim to be a professional.
It just seems you're so quick to judge, but not so quick to help problem solve.
@JaredMyMan Constructive criticism (meaning so we can all learn something new) is greatly appreciated. Outright being hateful is NOT! Your manners are less than attractive and need to be refined.
definitley to much frosting if you use only about 1/2 cup to the cake it will be perfect to form into balls and you will not have to fridgerate over night and they will be easier to dip. Also melting your chocolate 30 seconds at a time and stirring between will get you what you are looking for, melt them completely. Or a tempering unit will work to get the perfect candy making chocolate. Regular chocolate chips are to thick to dip them into. I use Merkens.

great video. i had these last year at a friend's house. i have been craving them ever since. this will be my first time making them. i cannot wait to taste! thanks:)
the presentation at the end was nice but you could have made the cake balls itself a little bit more presentable. Ive made cake pops as give aways for birthdays, and baptisms... this must of been your first time making them? If it was good try... the more you make em the more they become perfect!
since you used regular white chocolate chips as opposed to candy melts or confectioners coating wouldnt you have to put them back in the freezer for the chocolate to freeze?
@lalala5251 Any kind of chocolate chip that you use has stablizers in them that help them to hold their shape... as chips. Therefore, when you use them to melt and coat other foods, they will hold their shape easily once it sets back up and dries. I've never had to put anything in the freezer to set up before.
can you skip the melon baller and just grab a bit and roll it in your hand? I've done these and froze the balls with a toothpick in the center, dipped them in the chocolate with a small amount of parafin in the chocolate so it doesn't run off so easily, hold it for a few seconds to harden somewhat , then placed them on parchment paper to completely dry, pulling the toothpick out.
@kalamazootx1 For me, the melon baller gives them all a uniform size. By using it I don't have some that are huge and some that are small.... they're all basically the same size. I've never put parafin in my chocolate before, but think I will try it next time. Thanks! :)
is this a joke??

@lalala5251 No, chocolate chips have stabilizers in them.... that helps them to hold their shape when they set up again (or reach room temperature).
