re: Help required (please don’t laugh)…

Thank you for all your comments. The look I was after are like these cakes (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cake+balls&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=675&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=X8gaVZauLoOY7ga994HIDg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=bauble+cakes&spell=1&imgdii=_&imgrc=BfqEBbCTEV8hMM%253A%3ByTlZKK21xMj4bM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fideas.stitchcraftcreate.co.uk%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F10%252FBauble-Beauties-778×1024.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fideas.stitchcraftcreate.co.uk%252Fchristmas-bauble-cakes-recipe-bauble-beauties%252F%3B778%3B1024) not my cakes at all – but was hoping to get away with using left over cake to make something different.
My cakes were approximately 7cm in diameter, not cake pops. I did come across a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip0wRFTX8kw) which made these using the cake pop method, but they did use chocolate cake so maybe that was the secret to their success.
Maybe I will give it another go with chocolate next time and if that fails will have to invest in a ball cake tin.
Thank you again for all your comments you guys are fabulous. xx
