Little Devil Balls

First post!  It has to be GRAND!  I was going to make a cake for a new friend.  She brought us some cake from Safeway (a chain grocery store out here) I thanked her for the cake and later promised her a homemade one in return that tastes even better!

Oh I shouldn't have boasted....

The cake I promised was a Red Velvet.  I got even more excited as I remembered I had a recipe from Mrs. Graham!  I quickly looked for it, omitted her icing for my own, and got to baking!

It was a disaster as things started coming together.

I somehow purchased salted butter for my icing, and I realize as I'm adding my last bit of sugar.  Then guests starting arriving and I forgot to get those beautiful looking cakes out of the pan.

What do I get for boasting? A salty icing-stuck-in-the-pan cake.  Ha.

She will just have to try the Red Velvet cake some other time.  This time she will just have to try Chocolate Covered Red Velvet Cake Balls!

It worked out better this way.  With all the cake balls I made a treat for a friend and had some for a guest's birthday.  We still have a ton of cake left too!  Did I mention this the best Red Velvet Cake recipe I've had?  Yum!
