Straberries Heart Shape Bites For The Love Ones

Cake Bites are all the rage these days. A moist decadent mouthful of joy, these bite size treats are an excellent way to get creative with cake. At least to me it is. Easy, small and elegant.

It’s simple really. Just bake a cake, let it cool, then mix in your frosting of choice. Roll the cake/ frosting mix in to balls, then coat in melted chocolate to give them a nice candy coated shell.

In the spirit of Valentines day, I decided to make a special Strawberry, Heath candy, Chocolate coated, heart shaped cake ball to share with my family. I got the idea to make them into cake-pops from lollipops.



1 Box Strawberry Cake (Bake as directed)

1 16oz. can Butter Cream Frosting

1 1/2 cups crumbled up Heath Bar

1 package white chocolate bark (or chocolate)

After your cake is cooked, and cooled completely, crumble it up into a large bowl and mix in your frosting. You could do this by hand, but it was just as easy (and less messy) mixing it with my Kitchen Aid mixer. Once the frosting is well mixed, add the Heath bits to combine evenly.

Use your hands to roll the cake mixture in to small balls, place on a cookie sheet. With clean hands pat the round balls down into a heart shape (it helps if you dampen your fingers a bit) Chill for several hours, or just pop in the freezer to speed t up.



Once the cake hearts are chilled, dip them in your melted chocolate of choice and place on wax paper to set.

If you’d like to try making your cake balls in to lollipop cakes, you’ll want to make your balls a little smaller (otherwise they’ll be to heavy to set on the stick). Then before you chill the balls, insert the lollipop stick so the cake holds the stick.


Simple isn't it? I know I brought smile to someone today with this. I just wish you can taste this right now~
