Super Bowl Tampa

(The Super Bowl XLIII was in Tampa this year. Last nights game was awesome, well played. Sadly, the Cardinals lost to the Steelers. 23-27.)

I figured I'll make some dessert bites. I'm going to try the football cake balls I saw one time on the Bakerella blog. I actually tasted my first cake ball at Ashley's house/baby shower. They were delicious and I have since stocked up my pantry on the ingredients should the opportunity presents itself. So what better time to make them!

Super Bowl Football cake bites.
(I did 2 batches for 2 different parties, but the ingredients below is only for 1 batch.)

1 Red Velvet Cake mix
1 can of cheesecake frosting
1 bag of candy mold in chocolate - (turns out I didnt have any so I settled for Hershey candy bar)
1 tube of white cake gel.

The first step is to make the cake per the mix and let it cool aside. After it is cool, crumble the cake into a big bowl and mix the cake crumble with the can of frosting (mix thoroughly with your hand or a big wooden spoon). Cover bowl and chill in refrigerator..

After the cake crumble has cooled down, take about 1 tablespoon of the mix and roll and shape into little footballs. (I made some small circle balls too). Use up all the mix.

Then dip the "football" in the melted chocolate. Let sit and harden. With the white gel, decorate the football so it looks like one. (Wow, I had a hard time describing this...oh well, hopefully the pictures will help.)

:D Enjoy! These are ultra easy, it just takes a little time, but so delish! When you bite into the football, the red velvet cake is very moist.

The only problem was that I had a hard time transporting the football without the cake gel rubbing up against everything. Next time, I'll make that extra effort to decorate it using white chocolate.
