LEMON CAKE POPS

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cake according to the directions on the box, but add in the lemon zest and lemon extract as well. Bake according to the directions on the box. Let cool completely. 2. Crumble the cake into the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat for a minute to break the cake into small crumbles, then add a scoop of frosting. Mix and add more frosting if necessary until the mixture is able to be formed into balls but still a little crumbly. 3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour. 4. Before removing the balls from the refrigerator or freezer, prepare your decorations. Have the sprinkles and cake pop sticks handy. Melt the candy wafers in a double boiler or the microwave. I like to pour the melted candy wafers into a 2 cup glass measuring cup for easy dunking. 5. Take out a few cake balls at a time. Take a stick and dip it in the melted white chocolate, then stick it into one of the cake balls. Dip completely into the melted chocolate. Gently spin and tap the pop to remove excess chocolate. Add some sprinkles and poke the pop in a styrofoam block to harden. Repeat for the remaining cake pops. 6. Store the cake pops in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze for up to 6 weeks and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

• 3. using a Tablespoon form into balls and place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or waxed paper. with the handle of a wooden spoon (I use my little finger)make a small well in the middle of each ball.
• 4. fill each cake ball with a small amount of the lemon curd. (I used a small frosting press that I have.) using the reserved cake mixture that you set aside take a small piece and carefully cover each opening pressing lightly so as not to push any of the lemon curd out.
• 5. Place in refrigerator or freezer for one hour.
• 6. Remove from freezer and dip each ball into melted white bark, I use a spoon to dip then transfer the cake ball to the fork and let it drip the excess off. set each ball onto waxed or parchment paper and let sit until; the coating has set. don't worry if you see a little spot or two that you missed you can re-dip that area with the left over bark after letting them sit.
• 7. store in a airtight covered container until ready to serve. ENJOY!

LEMON CAKE BALLS

Steps:

• I used a box lemon cake mix, but you can choose homemade if you'd like. Either way, it should be the equivalent of a 9x13 baked lemon cake.
• In a large sized bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then set the bowl aside.
• Remove the cake from the pan and break it apart, crushing it until it's a fine crumble.
• Working in batches, add the powdered sugar mixture into the crumbled cake, stirring to combine as you continue adding the frosting.
• Once it is evenly mixed, use a spoon or portion scoop, to form the mixture into ball shapes, about 1 ½ to 2 inches in diameter depending on your preference. Place the balls into a separate bowl or plate until you have rolled all of the mixture.
• Cover and chill in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, or the refrigerator, for 1 hour (until cake truffles become firm).
• Once chilled, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval. Watch it closely and melt it slowly until the chocolate is smooth and totally melted.
• Place a rolled truffle on a spoon or poke it on the end of a fork and quickly dip the truffle into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped truffle onto parchment paper to allow the chocolate to dry. Note: if adding sprinkles or other toppings, be sure to add them before the chocolate has dried.
• Allow the chocolate to set and store in an airtight container.
