Pinterest Challenge- Birthday Cake Truffles

Here's my dessert plight: my family hates sweets. I know. I don't understand how I'm related to any of them. I adore desserts. The thing about this treat was that I made it for a work birthday party. And it was amazing. Everyone loved it. And just look at them. They are a thing of beauty. This is the second time I've made truffles, and there is one thing I don't understand: how on earth do the people who make these make them so perfect? Chef in Training nailed the look, and I really don't get it. If anyone has a tip to dipping truffles, let me know.
 
 

 
Ingredients:
 
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup yellow cake mix
- milk
- sprinkles
- white chocolate for dipping
 
 
1. Mix the butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, salt, and cake mix together. 
2. Add as much milk is needed to mix everything together.
3. Mix until it reaches a sticky consistency.
4. Add sprinkles into the dough and mix.
5. Scoop the dough into little balls and place into the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
6. Dip the dough into melted white chocolate an add sprinkles to the top.
 
Warning: white chocolate has a low burning rate. Melt in 30 second intervals only and stir.
 
Make sure you stick these in the freezer or fridge until you serve them. I loved these truffles. They were a great way to celebrate a birthday. I just really need to get this dipping thing down.
 
Do you have any tricks to make dipping a little easier?

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an i...

Copycat the Cool Way #2

I admit that I am a little late with this post. Things have been insane school-wise so I haven’t been keeping up to date with all my posts. Or anything for that matter. Plus, I got a new phone and I had to figure out how to get all the pictures from my old phone on to my laptop. Ugh. The following blurb is an imitation of my brain: duibqieufbijenwcijaaiojcfpo wijojndwqioNQIOENFONIONICQNINQ/ what? Descriptive right? Bear with me, I’m pre-writing a couple posts while I’m focused on blogging. I got you covered. Monday- Probably my favourite pants ever. They’re super comfy, but it can be tough to style them. I took the inspiration from a picture from a magazine (I think it might have been Glamour). It was also a spring day in Canada (did not last long), so I wanted to keep it cool temperature-wise. I have a blue cardigan that I typically wear instead of the scarf. Also, rainboots. Buy rainboots. They are the best for the icky, slushy, melty weather that is just around the corn...
