Truffle Cake

I am not a good cake froster. That is why I am a fan of cupcakes. But when I do make cakes I like to try to find ways to hide the frosting job!

And I think this does the trick:


This cake by Fritz Knipschildt is covered in truffles. Of course, he is considered one of the top chocolatiers in the world...so I won't be trying this any time soon. But I am thinking it would be fun to do a single layer birthday cake covered in giant gumballs. Or powdered donuts. Oreo Truffles.

    You're lucky I have ice cream in the fridge, or I might have you kill you for posting this!

    Just wanted to let you know, I made the "out-of-this-world" cupcakes with the black sugar and white stars that you posted about a couple of weeks ago for my little one's birthday this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!

    OOOOHHHH! I just love truffles...I'm not a very good froster either...I remember being in culinary school and the chef would always yell at me and say:"Stephenie, you're always rushing, Icing a cake is a work of art!" I did get a little bit better..

    Wouldn't that be a cute golf-themed cake?

    I think you could make a 8 inch round stacked cake and then cover it with cake balls. Think of that yummy deliciousness.

    Beautiful, but I think your powdered doughnut idea would be even cuter!!!
