cake balls

For the second Saturday in a row,
I embraced Chicago and it's dining and shopping opportunities.
Here is a brief recap of
Lisa, Lynn, and Laurie and our day in Schaumberg:

Cheesecake Factory for lunch:

• BBQ chicken pizza. Yay.
• No cheesecake. Boo.
• Opportunity for a Re-do? Yeah.

Woodfield Mall shopping:

• Lush (I'm in love)
• H & M (bargains)
• McD's (beverage pick-me-up)

IKEA!!

• search for curtain material: fail
• search for treats for the fam: success
• ginger snap cookies in cappucino flav: consumed on the way home

Conversation:

• every monumental life happening in the last 3 months
• crafty projects cuz we're so crafty
• all the good deals at H &M
• a recipe for Cake Balls (well.....that's what I've been calling them)

um, Lynn.....is this what they're supposed to look like?! Well--minus the popsicle sticks you told me you put in (because I didn't have any)
Oh, and I added sprinkles.
I haven't officially tried one myself because in the process of making them I ate about an eighth of a cake's worth of batter (I think).....but the fam has given them rave reviews.

Cake Balls: 

make a cake

crumble it up in large bowl

mix with a can of frosting

roll into balls

freeze

dip in melted chocolate

sprinkle them up

{oh my}
