Cake balls. hehehehe. Balls.

For my last office Christmas party, I decided to bake something heavy with the eggs (thank you ladies!).

I made a sheet cake and lemon curd from my Martha Stewart 2003 cookbook.  I wanted to do something cute and an homage to my girls.  So I decided to make cake balls (hahaha) - which apparently are a huge thing on the internets.

So after baking the cake and curd, you just tear up everything and mix it into a big homogeneous lump.  Reminds me of how my little sister used to (and still) eats cake (smushing it up into a frost cake paste that usually came out looking gray).

Then you roll the mixture into balls (ha!) and refrigerate.  Then dip them in some colored chocolate and decorate!  I have a set of food coloring and sprinkly stuff in the pantry that I bought for the last fancy cake I made.  It came in very handy to dye the dipping chocolate, and the fondant for the accessories.

The results were these little chicks.  I think they came out pretty cute.

I ran out of yellow chocolate, so I made the snowmen. 

I also thought chicks + moustaches + tophat = funny.
