Cake Bites, Nirvana's Bliss

Cake Bites, sinfully delicious; each bite is like an orgasmic explosion of flavor in your mouth!





CAKE  BITES

Feeling creative? Try making your own flavors of Cake Bites! These little bonbon-like treats are extremely simple to make. First decide what flavor of cake to bake, next decide what type of cake frosting goes well with your cake, and last, choose a candy coating that compliments your sweet little treats!!


Ingredients:
  • 1 box Cake Mix, plus ingredients required to bake the cake
  • 1 can Cake Frosting
  • Dipping Chocolate, Almond Bark or Flavored Candy Wafers
  • Flavored Candy Oils (to flavor Vanilla Candy Wafers), Optional
  • Decorator sprinkles



Directions:


1.  Prepare cake according to directions on box.
2.  When done, pull cake out of oven and cool completely.
3.  In a large bowl, crumble cake and mix in the can of cake frosting.
4.  With a melon baller, scoop the cake mixture and place on a cookie sheet, close enough to where they are   almost touching, to get as many bites on a single sheet.
 
5.  Place cookie sheet in freezer. Freeze for at least 1-hour (can be frozen for 24-hours).
 
6.  Melt your dipping chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave at P-50 for 1 – 2 minutes, stopping the microwave every 30 seconds to stir until completely melted.
 
7.  Dip the frozen Cake Bites in the melted chocolate, spooning chocolate over to completely cover bites.
8.  With a fork, scoop out the Cake Bite, tap off excess chocolate and place on a sheet of wax paper to dry. 
9.  While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with decorator sprinkles of your choice; or, with a different color candy wafer, swizzle the tops of each Cake Bite for a dramatic effect.
 
10.  Return to freezer until ready to serve.
