Welcome back to this weeks video tutorial. This week I am sharing with you how to make these really fun chocolate balls or chocolate spheres to decorate your cakes. These are so fun and can be made to look like little balls or why not make them look like fun balloons. For this cake I wanted the balls to look like a balloon garland going across one side of the cake going from light to dark and with a mix of different shades of pink, some shimmery gold ones and of course some polka dot ones.
I was so excited to add the polka dots ones into this video as this design was so popular in the geometric heart video and the technique also works perfectly for these too.
For the chocolate balls I used bright white candy melts and coloured them with the Colour Mill oil based colours which I got from The Cake Decorating Company. You could also used pre-coloured candy melts or tempered chocolate depending on the style of cake you are looking to create. There are so many possibilities with these chocolate balls and they really do look so fun on the top of your cake.
Luxurious Vegan Chocolate Truffle Cake
For this cake I used 3 different sized silicone moulds which I purchased from Amazon. The first was a larger mould which gave a finished ball with a 7cm diameter. There was then a 3.8cm ball and a smaller 3cm ball.
To compliment these I also addedsome of the Happy Sprinkles Gold Chocolate Crunch Sprinkles in XXL and M. The Choco Crunch balls come in so many colours and sizes, and if you want to add them to your cakes Happy Sprinkles have kindly given me a 10% off discount code for me to share with you.

Homemade Chocolate Cake Balls
When creating the balls you want to make them as light as possible so there is not alot of weight being added onto the top of the cake. We also need them to be light so they can be piled ontop of each other. When adding the balls to the cake I used some of my white candy melts on the bottom, but instead of holding them in place until that chocolate had set I used a can of Spray Ice.This one I got from The Cake Decorating Companyand it worked amazingly well. It is food grade, and you just spray it on and it sets the chocolate or candy melts instantly enabling you to stack them ontop of each other and even glue them to the side of your cake. Just be careful with the gold lustre dust balls as it can take off some of the lustre dust which I had to retouch at the end.
I really hope you will find this tutorial useful and enjoy making your own chocolate balls to add onto your cakes.If you haven’t already you can subscribe to my YouTube channelfor more Free cake decorating video tutorials.

They’re balls of cake blended with frosting that have been dipped in chocolate, and you can decorate them in so many cute ways!
Deva Williamson, owner of Big Laugh Kitchen and winner of Food Network’s Candy Land, joins me to offer up instructions and tips to help you make these treats.
To get started, use your hands to mix a little bit of the frosting (about 2 tablespoons) into about two cups of cake scraps.

Knead the two together until you can’t see the frosting anymore. It should all come together into a ball that’s moist and not sticky.
Use a tablespoon-sized scoop to form the cake mixture into balls and refrigerate the balls for at least 15 minutes. If they aren’t cold, they may fall apart when you dip them in chocolate.
When they come out of the refrigerator, set a cooling rack over a cookie sheet. When you place the dipped balls on the cooling rack, the extra chocolate will drip onto the cookie sheet and you’ll be able to reuse it.
How To Make The Best Cake Balls With This Easy Recipe!
Use your finger to remove the skewer as you set the balls down on the cooling rack. When you take the skewer away, there will be a hole in the ball. Dip the same skewer back into the chocolate again and then use it to cover up the hole with fresh chocolate.
If you want to turn these into cake pops, use lollipop sticks [paid link] instead of a skewer – and leave the sticks in.
Dip each stick in the melted chocolate right before inserting it into a truffle to encourage the two to bond together as the chocolate cools and hardens.
