Cake Balls

April 9, 2010 | Uncategorized

I was obsessed with cake balls last spring, and haven’t made them in quite awhile. I had to bring a treat to school for a coworkers birthday so I thought “why not?’ Yes yes I know they aren’t healty, BUT in a way they kind of are because they are small, so you can just hav one to satisfy your sweet tooth instead of a whole piece of cake! Also, they are super easy and there are so many different kinds to make!

you will need:
boxed caked mix and other ingredients needed for the mix (usually eggs and oil)
can frosting
almond bark or some other kind of melting chocolate
I like to add almond extract to mine.

-bake cake according to directions on box (I add almond extract to batter here)
-let it cool, then crumble into a bowl
-add entire jar frosting, mix until, well, mixed!
-make into little balls (I use a cookie scoop)
-put in freezer for a few hours
-melt amond bark in a bowl
-dip frozen cake balls into chocolate
-add sprinkles if desired quickly before they dry!

I have done white cake, choc. cake, red velvet cake, white almond bark, choc. bark, whipped frosting, cream cheese, and buttercream. the whipped isnt as sweet as the others.

here are the ones I just made (ignore the chocolates in the middle)

Everyone raved about them and asked me for the recipe. yummo!

Bobby and I just went on a walk. Poor sweet Bella wants to go back outside so she sat by the door and whined.

Taking today off, running tomorrow morning. Bobby is in a commercial tomorrow afternoon so I won’t see a lot of him. I will blog more about that tomorrow 🙂

Have a great Friday night all!

    Those cake balls look yummy! I might have to try that, red velvet is my favorite! I have been thinking about trying to start running. Right now I walk my two Labs about 3-4 miles every day. Any advice on how to get started with running? Thanks!

      labs love to run, I say let them (or one at a time haha) run with you!
      have you ever heard of the couch to 5k program? google it, I have several friends wo have started running that way and love it! the key is to start slow so you don’t get injured doing too much too soon. With this program you build up tme and mileage every week and then should be able to run a 5k, then just start adding miles form there if you want to go further. I also cross train at least once a week and lift weights. hope that helps. you can e mail me if you have any other specific questions!

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
