we began friday evening making the velvet cake. i have not been able to find a red velvet cake mix at any store so we ended up making one from scratch. i will post the recipe on the bloggermomscook blog incase anyone is interested. once the cake has been cooked and cooled, allie had the messy job of adding the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake crumbs. (i'll post the cream cheese frosting recipe on the cooking blog too). 
we decided next time it might be just as effective to use a potato masher. after we had all the batter rolled into balls, into the freezer they went for easier dipping later.
by this point, it was late and kayla had to go home so today when allie and i were ready to dip the cake balls into the chocolate we called kayla back over for the fun part of the process. 
the girls had way too much fun, they made a huge mess! we decided to do half and half with the white chocolate and i even tried my hand at drizzling - yeah, it was hard than i thought i would be. 
so they are not super gorgeous because we were kind of globby with the chocolate, but it was really fun and one batch makes a ton. we fed several teenagers hanging out at our house tonight and past out several to our wonderful neighbors. 
they felt too fancy for just a plate so i wrapped them in cello with a bow. today i went to roberts and bought some fondant because next allie and i are dying to try the cute little roses atop cupcakes! so cute!**do baking projects intimidate you?
have you ever drizzled chocolate before?
have you ever made red velvet cake?**
