Cake Bites: step-by-step

Step 1: We decided to do a vanilla cake and so we followed the directions on the back and the stuck the cake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Step 2: After the cake was done, we took it out of the oven, and then placed it into the fridge to cool while we were making the frosting.

Step 3: The recipe calls for pre-made frosting (the kind that you get in a can from the store). We didn't have any so we used a recipe out of the book for vanilla frosting. It turned out just at good with the home made frosting as it would have with the pre-made frosting that you buy from the store.

Step 3 continued: haha we also didn't have much vanilla extract which the recipe calls for. So as a substitute for the remaining vanilla needed we used coconut extract. It tasted so good. We are actually going to experiment in a little bit with a pina colada cupcake using this frosting we kind of invented.

Step 4: we mixed the frosting and then we placed a damp cloth over it to keep it from going hard and staying moist while we did step 5.

Step 5: (No picture sorry) Take you cooled cake out of the fridge and break the cake into very SMALL crumbs into a bowl. Then take your frosting and mix together, there should be no clumps of frosting, it should be pretty evenly distributed. It should also be pretty sticky for it to stick together for step 6.

Step 6: Take the "mixture" and roll it into 1 1/2" balls and place on a pan with wax paper on it. When all of your "mixture" has been rolled into balls and placed on the pan. Put into the freezer for 15 minutes or until firm. You don't want them to be frozen but firm.
