everyone usually enjoys the cake balls i make, so i decided to make those with a twist. pumpkin cake balls! i made mine with regular chocolate (because i prefer it over white), but it would be REALLY cute to get some orange baking candies or white chocolate and dye it orange to make an actual orange pumpkin! but, for my recipe, here's what you need:
1 white cake mix
3 eggs,
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cup water
1 tub cream cheese frosting
red food coloring
yellow food coloring
24 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
green baking decors
orange frosting (not the gel type)
prepare the cake mix as directed, but then add in 50 drops of yellow food coloring, and 8 of red, to make an "orange sunset" color. bake the cake as directed.
meanwhile, put the frosting into a bowl which you will later add the cake to. when the cake is still hot from out of the oven, put it in the bowl, and mix it together with the cream cheese.
let the mixture cool in the refrigerator for a bit. after it is cooled, roll the mixture into balls. put these back in the refrigerator for a few more minutes to harden. i took this time to separate my green decors from the other colors, because my store didn't carry only green ones.
also while waiting, melt the chocolate in a double-broiler.
after it is melted, take out the cake balls. dip them in chocolate, covering all sides, and set each one on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.
after they are covered, while the chocolate is still soft, stick a green decor at the top of each ball (like the pumpkin stem!).
put these in the freezer to harden. once the chocolate is fully hardened, take them out. my store didn't have small tubed frosting, so i had to make a makeshift frosting bag with a smaller hole to be able to draw faces.
draw whatever types of faces you'd like on your cake balls, and you've got yourself a tasty halloween pumpkin!
röyksopp- what else is there *karin (fever ray/the knife) sings the vocals on this one. really great and such cool lyrics
steve aoki- when did your heart go missing *a really awesome remix of rooney's song. steve aoki does great remixes all around.
burial- archangel *super trippy, like the usual burial stuff, but i really like the pitch shifting on this, especially with the r&b type vocals
honey is cool- under water *more rock (but soft). good lyrics, and obviously good vocals because it is karin's older band.
peter bjorn & john- lay it down (golden filter remix) *love this remix of lay it down, especially with female vocals. i think it's more fitting for the lyrics.
cut copy- saturdays *love this music. elctro-pop/punk. great band.
the faint- posed to death (calculators remix) *this is one of the best remixes i have ever heard, ever. takes a lot of the beats to make a really awesome song. posed to death in its original version is a great song, but this remix is amazing. the album that it is off of, "danse macabre remixes," is such an amazing album full of great remixes of faint songs.
single frame- i'll lose your balance *rock, plus a little bit electronic. good range of beats and guitar riffs.
