Anyways, the weekend after D's birthday we had some of his friends over for a party. He wanted a birthday cake and we were busy that weekend, and therefore planned to go with something simple. Nothing difficult, just plain white cake from a box with lemon icing and some candles.
Well, disaster struck and my cake crumbled. The problem then was to figure out...what in the world do you do with a crumbled birthday cake? Birthday cake bites! With some help from google, I invented a recipe which was a huge success. Our guests thought I had made these birthday cake bites on purpose and were begging for the recipe. All 35 bites were devoured in a matter of seconds...
Conclusion: If you ever wind up with a crumpled cake, you should make birthday cake bites. Or, maybe you should even crumple it on purpose!
Birthday Cake Bites
1 box white cake mix (or any flavor for that matter!)
approximately 1 cup flavored coffee creamer
butter
bakers chocolate
Bake your cake according to the instructions on the box. Most cake mixes will require eggs and oil. Let the cake cool after cooking and then crumple the cake in a large bowl. Mix in one cup coffee creamer (or maybe slightly more). I used vanilla but you can use whatever flavor you like. Once thoroughly mixed together, roll the mixture into small balls and put in the freezer for one hour.
Using a fondue pot, or in a small pot on the stove, melt together butter and baker's chocolate. Dip each birthday cake bite into the chocolate. Feel free to also coat in sprinkles!
After coating in chocolate and/or sprinkles, place on a baking sheet covered in wax paper and keep in the freezer until serving.
