Birthday Cake Truffles
I recently made way too many cupcakes for a party. I knew having a dozen frosted cupcakes in my home was dangerous so I decided to do something creative with them; I'm a big fan of "repurposing" leftover desserts. I made these fun cake truffles out of the cupcakes and brought them to work. Delicious!
I actually used my Vanilla Cupcakes with Fluffy Vanilla Frosting but you can use any cake and frosting you'd like.

Instructions
- Place cupcakes & frosting in food processor, pulse until mixture is smooth.
- Scoop out mixture and roll into balls (about 1 tbsp) each. Place on wax paper lined baking sheet. Keep cake balls in fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Divide white chocolate chips in two microwaveable bowls with 1/4 tsp of coconut oil each. Melt mixtures in microwave for 20 second intervals until chips are melted (an0out 60 seconds). Mix until smooth.
- Squeeze 2-3 drops of food coloring in one bowl and mix until color is evenly distributed.
- Take cake balls out of fridge. Take one and cover in melted white chocolate. This can be messy but I use Wilton Candy Dipping Tool Set which makes it MUCH easier. You can find them at http://www.wilton.com/wilton-candy-melts-dipping-tools-1904-1017/1904-1017.html
- Place coated cake ball back on wax paper. Drizzle melted pink chocolate on cake ball. You can be creative with colors. Place coated cake balls back in the fridge for 1 hour or until the chocolate is hardened.
