I baked and rolled up 2 batches of cake balls today for my grandparents' 50th anniversary party next weekend. I'm making 25 centerpieces with them. I bought clay flower pots and dowel rods with bases, and round styrofoam balls. I'm going to make cakeball topiaries! From what I measured, I'll need 400 cakeballs for all 25 centerpieces. I'm just going to make as many as I can, and make do. I can't promise 400. I made rainbow sprinkle and butter pecan today. I still have to bake and roll chocolate, lemon, carrot, and red velvet. That will get me almost half of what I need, and I'll see which ones I like best for the rest.
I am keeping them in the freezer until I'm ready to dip them in chocolate, but I don't want to dip them too early or they'll go bad. You can't refrigerate them once you've dipped them. We're leaving for San Antonio next Friday, so I have to have them all done by the end of the night Thursday night. I'm hoping I can get them all dipped and decorated Wed and Thurs. It is going to be a LOT of work for just 2 nights.
Matt has his Fantasy Football draft today/tonight. I think he's spending the night there, so that means I get to watch some chick flicks tonight and catch up on my reading.
