Step 5 - Evenly divide the mixture into 40 small balls. Our cake balls weighed about 19 grams (0.67 ounces) each, which is about one heaped teaspoon.

Reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring the chocolate with a metal spoon until the chocolate has melted. Turn off the heat.

When melting the chocolate in a double boiler, avoid getting water or steam into the bowl because the chocolate will seize (go thick and lumpy), making it unusable.

Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe jug or bowl, heat on high in short 20-30 seconds burst, stirring the chocolate with a metal spoon between each burst until melted.

Melting chocolate in the microwave oven happens quickly. So be careful not to overheat it because you can easily overcook the chocolate and ruin it.

Truffles made with condensed milkinstead of canned caramel sauce can be a little softer because sweetened condensed milk is a little thinner than the canned caramel sauce. If you find that this is the case, thicken the mixture by mixing in a little more cake crumbs.

Coating not sticking- this can happen if the outside of the cake ball has become dry, this can occur on a warm day, especially if you have rolled them all out at once.

I love birthdays so much. Always have! I just truly think life gets better each and every year I age. I love looking back and reflecting on how much I have grown and how much my life ebbs and flows in a year to become something I feel grateful for every day! Do you like birthdays? I know they are tough for a lot of people, so I feel fortunate to have such a positive outlook and feelings about birthdays. Otherwise it can be kinda stressful!!

Today I am sharing a recipe that works off of Tuesday’s post. On Tuesday (Greg’s birthday) I shared the cake I made for him! I made a layer cake out of a sheet pan by baking the cake on one pan and then cutting smaller circles out of it. That meant I had lots of cake left over! So what to so with leftover birthday cake?

I didn’t come up with these myself. They are actually similar to cake pops, but I like these better. I got the idea months ago when I was watching the episode of The Chef Show and the owner of Milk Bar was on it! Milk Bar is a bakery that does insane menu items, and their most popular thing is cake truffles that they make with their leftover cake scraps! It’s genius and they sell thousands of them per week.

With cake pops, typically the cake is crumbled and then bound together with frosting. This makes me extremely rich and sweet, which is partly why I am not a huge fan. However, these are crumbled cake bound together into a paste consistency with a vanilla milk (oat milk plus vanilla extract). Then, I dipped them in a simple glaze and then rolled them in my famous Liv B chocolate chip cookies that I blitzed in my food processor until finely crumbled. I added some sprinkles I had on hand (that were super old actually, I don’t even remember buying them haha) to make them more festive. I also rolled a few in cocoa powder for the visual aspect of these photos. But you know what? The cocoa coated ones ended up being my favourite because they were initially bitter and then immediately turn sweet as you chew into the cake. So cool!

These truffles – I just used leftovers, I don’t have exact measurements for this. But I promise you really can go by feel. If you’re mixing the cake and milk together, you want it to be like a thick, not too wet paste consistency. You want it to be easy to roll into balls without sticking to your hands. I made about 1/2 cup of the vanilla milk and used 

This is such a fun recipe I know you will love it! Its a great way to use up cake scraps if you make a sheet cake, and to get your hands messy and have some fun in the kitchen.
