Ladies who make balls! Come here!
Does anyone make a certain flavor? I plan to attempt them this year. I have AATB's step by step instructions. Now I just need to know flavors.
Any suggestions?
Re: Ladies who make balls! Come here!
Depends. Are you going to decorate them or just dip them? Do you want them to be Christmassy?

I've never made them, but I think chocolate/chocolate would be good. Or chocolate/cream cheese.
My neighbor made yellow/chocolate, and the color looked funny to me, but they probably tasted awesome.

Christmassy!
Use my above idea, but wrap the cake around a maraschino cherry too. Then after coating, sprinkle with sanding sugar in holiday colours.

I'm not an expert yet!

I like to use liquor or jam instead of icing in mine. Just use enough to moisten the cake. Flavors from the past:
Devils food cake/ kahlua/ choc coating with caramel drizzle
Lemon cake/ raspberry jam/ white coating/ lemon drizzle (lemon juice and powdered sugar)
White cake/ Malibu rum/ choc coating/ toasted coconut sprinkles
Choc cake/ peppermint schnapps/ choc coating / green drizzle (peppermint extract and powdered sugar)
White cake/ white icing with crushed peppermints or peppermint extract/ white coating and more crushed peppermint
My co-worker did a devils food cake/chocolate icing combo and they were amazing!
This thread has made me decide that I am going to make balls (teehee) to bring to my parent's for Christmas.
I think I want to do something dipped in white chocolate so I can add pretty red and green sprinkles.
I'd like to make these for Christmas

This is my favorite - red velvet w/ cream cheese frosting, dipped in white chocolate. I also like yellow cake w/ chocolate frosting, dipped in milk chocolate.
I hate to say it but I did this, a few years ago. They were disgusting. Some people liked them, but they were just way way too sweet.
I used a box cake mix through, so maybe you could (and probably should!) control the sugar content if you don't use a box.
