Any flavor of cake will work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Frosting:<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> You can use store-bought frosting. I prefer homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/the-easiest-swiss-meringue-buttercream\/\">Easiest Swiss Meringue<\/a>, just for the flavor, but this recipe calls for such a small amount of frosting, it&rsquo;s not worth it to make a whole batch if you know you won&rsquo;t use it for anything else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>White candy coating:<\/strong><\/span>  I like Mercken&rsquo;s brand candy coating because it is more fluid when melted, but Wilton is also good.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Royal icing weapons<\/strong>:<\/span> Mine are <a href=\"https:\/\/wilton.com\/assorted-knife-and-cleaver-royal-icing-decorations-12-count\/191009928\/\">Wilton brand<\/a>, purchased at craft stores like Michael&rsquo;s or online on Amazon.

Make the cake balls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li>Crumble a baked and cooled cake into a large bowl. Work the cake between your fingers (or use a spoon) until it&rsquo;s in small crumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the frosting: start with a small amount of frosting and stir it into the cake crumbs. You want the cake mixture to hold together when you press it into a ball, so if it seems very crumbly after stirring in the frosting, add more a bit at a time until you get a texture you like. Avoid adding so much that the cake mixture gets very soft or greasy. The exact amount you&rsquo;ll need depends on the cake and frosting you&rsquo;re using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now you have some choices! You can roll them into plain balls&ndash;just use a candy scoop or spoon to get a ball of cake truffle mixture, and roll it gently between your palms until it&rsquo;s round. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Add a cherry inside (optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li>If you want to add a bit more flavor, add a red cherry center! Drain a jar of cherries&nbsp;(I love using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/491rvRm\">Amarena cherries<\/a>) and pat them dry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flatten out a ball of cake truffle mixture, and press it into a thin disc. &nbsp;Place a cherry in the center of the cake mixture, then press the cake up and around the cherry, rolling it between&nbsp; your palms until it&rsquo;s completely covered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Our Halloween cake ball truffles are so good, it&rsquo;s scary!

Chill the cake balls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li>As you roll the truffles, place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or waxed paper. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once they&rsquo;re all shaped, refrigerate the tray until the truffles are very firm, for at least an hour. (Longer is fine too&ndash;I usually chill mine overnight.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Dip them<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li>Using dipping tools or a fork, submerge a cake ball in melted candy coating. Remove it from the coating let the excess drip back into the bowl. Replace the dipped truffle on the baking sheet. While the coating is still wet, firmly press a royal icing knife or axe into the truffle. Repeat until all of the truffles are dipped and decorated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refrigerate the candies to set the coating completely, about 20 minutes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Decorate your bloody cake truffles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li>Add a bit of blood around the weapon. You can use those gel decorating tubes found in the grocery store, but I usually just use a bit of gel food coloring, applied with a small paint brush. Let it dry, and your terrifying treats are ready to enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Our Halloween cake ball truffles are so good, it&rsquo;s scary!

Start with a small amount of frosting and add more if you need it. Too much frosting makes the cake balls greasy and harder to dip. Because different cake mixes have different amounts of fat\/moisture, the frosting amount is always just a starting suggestion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cake balls should be cold but not frozen when dipping them. If they are frozen, the candy coating will crack as the cake defrosts. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amarena cherries are my favorite to use. (I find them at Trader Joe&rsquo;s). They have a great depth of flavor and complexity, and aren&rsquo;t cloyingly sweet. You can also use other jarred cherries, like Morello or even maraschino, but they are much sweeter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Try using other colors of candy coating (think bright green, orange, or purple) and decorate the tops with spooky Halloween sprinkles, candy eyeballs, or gummy fangs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make cake pops: Insert a lollipop stick before chilling for cake pops. Hold them by the stick to dip them in coating. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-tip is-style-sprinkles has-background has-quaternary-background-color\"><div class=\"cwp-inner\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading block-tip__title\" id=\"candy-coating-tips\">Candy Coating Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you&rsquo;re new to working with candy coating, or haven&rsquo;t used it for dipping truffles before, there are a few things to know to make sure your candy turns out well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The most important part of  dipping candy is the <strong>texture<\/strong> of your melted chocolate or candy coating! Too thin, and it will run off of the candies and pool at the bottom. Too thick, and it will be difficult to work with and make lumpy, bumpy truffles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ykqDHU\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mercken&rsquo;s brand<\/a> is my preferred candy coating. It&rsquo;s thinner when melted and provides a nice smooth coating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">When <strong>melting the coating<\/strong>, always melt it in short intervals (like 30 seconds), stirring frequently, to prevent overheating. Overheated coating will always be clumpy! I suggest using 50% power on your microwave, if you have that function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The other thing to watch out for is <strong>old product<\/strong>. Older candy coating will invariably be thicker when melted. So if you try to use an old dusty bag of coating you found in the back of the pantry (or if you unknowingly purchase an old batch), don&rsquo;t be surprised if you have trouble with it.&nbsp;You can always try adding a bit of vegetable oil, coconut oil, or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2pU75We\" rel=\"nofollow\">paramount crystals<\/a> to your coating to thin it out. But be warned that if it&rsquo;s really old, or overheated, all the oil in the world won&rsquo;t make it workable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">For the best dipping, you&rsquo;ll want your coating warm and fluid, but not hot, and your truffles cold and firm, but not frozen. Use a fork or dipping tools to dunk a truffle in the melted coating, then let the excess drip back into the bowl.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Our Halloween cake ball truffles are so good, it&rsquo;s scary!
