Cake Balls

கேக் பால்ஸ் – Cake Balls

Cake balls is an easy and no cook recipe. These balls are small spheres of reconstituted cake crumbs, coated with chocolate or frosting. They are made by blending cake crumbs with icing, shaping them to form a ball and then dipping them in a coating, such as melted chocolate. Cake balls were originally created from the crumbs of leftover. This recipe is one of my family’s all time favourite. Also this is one of the best gift option for kids and friends.
