Cake Balls The newest baking trend

Cake balls?  This is a YUMMY new trend soon to hit your local upscale market.  I made these for Valentines Day and sold out almost instantly.  I called it  "Truffle on a Stick" but really, it's nothing more than cake on a stick.  I took the best chocolate cake in the Twin Cities and dumped it in a bowl.  I added my smooth as silk chocolate ganache and gourmet raspberry marmalade, mixed it all together, and rolled it into a bite size morsel.  I refrigerated it overnight to bring it to a temperature low enough to withstand dipping.   Before I dipped the bite size pieces into locally sourced, high quality gourmet milk chocolate, I added a lollipop stick.  After that, I rolled them in festive Valentine sprinkles to celebrate the holiday.  After a setting up for a few minutes, they where ready to be eaten.  This is truly a great treat for any pallate, sophisticated or simple.  Everyone had to buy them for their sweet hearts!
