Cake Balls

I love to cook. I love getting compliments on my cooking, until this week. The 5th grade at my school sponsors several bake sales each year to raise money for the 5th grade trip. Being a supportive faculty member, I always donate baked goods. Recently, I read a post by Elyse about her experience making 'cake balls' and decided I would give them a try. Within a few minutes of the bake sale beginning, teachers began dropping by my room to compliment me on the treats I had made. Some even insisted that I had not made them. All asked for the recipe. On day two of the sale, I took another batch. Teachers actually began arguing over who would get to buy them. Erin had done such a wonderful job of decorating them that one Jewish teacher insisted on buying all the balls that were decorated for Chanukah. Although I was glad that everyone appreciated what I had made, I have to admit that their compliments bordered on the annoying. I eventually gave out the recipe to all who asked and decided that in the future, I would stick to simple cupcakes. If you're interesed, you can find the recipe on Elyse's blog. There is a link on my profile page.
