Cake Ball Day

Here is more Teacher Appreciation stuff for ya'. I bought a bunch (40) of these little boxes from Hobby Lobby during the after-Christmas sales. They didn't look Christmasy at all to me and I knew I could use them for something. We made 4 different varieties of Cake Balls (strawberry, lemon, chocolate and birthday cake) and put one of each in the boxes. We also made a sign that said, "You make it a piece of cake for our kids to have a ball at McGaughey! Enjoy a Cake Ball!" Cheesy? Of course! That's what makes it so much fun!
I should have mentioned the recipe for cake balls. Just bake any flavor of cake and let it cool. After it cools, put it into a bowl and crumble it as finely as you can get it. Add a tub of frosting in a complimentary flavor (strawberry cake/strawberry frosting; lemon cake/lemon frosting; yellow cake/vanilla icing and so on and so on) Mix it up well. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about an hour. Form into approx. 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Place in the freezer for at least a half hour. Melt some almond bark or chocolate and dip the balls into the coating. Set them back on the wax paper. Voila...you have the most delicious treat! There are probably a million variations of cake balls. Don't forget to try Oreo or Nutter Butters but instead of frosting, you use cream cheese!
