Four Letter Words

C-A-K-E    B-A-L-L    These are now my new swear words.  Our future daughter-in-law served us cake balls for dessert the last time we were at her house.  Absolutely delicious!  They sounded so easy to make.  Case and I decided that we would make cake balls, too.  Well, we are on day 3 of the process with a few more days ahead.  Three ingredients - only three: cake, icing, chocolate.  What could go wrong?  I guess nothing has really gone wrong.  It is just so labor intensive!

Day 1:  Bake cake.  Let cool.
Day 2:  Crumble the cake so there are no lumps - just crumbs.  It takes forever!  Add 3/4 of a can of ready made frosting to crumbles.  Mix until a paste like consistency.  Refrigerate.
Day 3:  Use a melon baller plus your hands to scoop paste and roll into a ball.  It takes forever!  Put on wax paper and refrigerate.  We finished that after supper today.
I can't even imagine how wild Day 4 is going to be.
Day 4:  Melt chocolate.  Dip and coat balls.  Put on other wax paper to harden.  I can just see the mess.  I can just feel the heartache if the balls fall apart while dipping. 

We have gone this far.  We must continue.  These better be the best #&*# cake balls ever!
