Vegan Cake Balls & Truffles

The timing was perfect when I came across this recipe for Vegan Avocado Cupcakes and Emily's mention of Birthday Cake Truffles from Momofuku. I wanted to recreate those truffles, but then saw this recipe from Bakerella and put those avocado cupcakes to use, making those into a cake ball/truffle. (In short, there were a few contributing factors in my creation of these tasty bites!)

These are perfect for those with a sweet tooth (like me). Plus, if you spread out four in a day, you really only ate the equivalent of one cupcake (and a healthy one at that)!

Adding the avocado mixture to the dry ingredients. (Note* If you want the entire cake ball to be vegan, dip them in vegan chocolate, not the kind I show here.)

I cut the cake in pieces to cool off faster.

Mix the frosting with the (cooled) crumbled cake.

Roll it into balls and refrigerate before you dip in chocolate.

I used the dunking method :)

Eat and enjoy!

Real Simple Cupcakes

Real Simple Magazine is featuring a number of delicious looking cupcakes on their website. They have some cute ideas for toppings to decorate your cupcakes with. I've been wanting to make a cotton candy cupcake, but they beat me to the punch! I also love the s'mores one. Tthe PB&J looks interesting, but I'm skeptical about the taste. Has anyone tried one? And the gummy bow Tiffany-inspired one is a good idea for an engagement party or something of the like. I've seen parties where Tiffany blue was the theme, but I don't think I've seen any cupcakes like this (a whole cake maybe, but not cupcakes).

As you can see by now, I'm slightly obsessed with cupcakes... :)
