Many professionals do this to stop the chocolate from crystallizing. Regular baking chocolate can then be used, whether white or brown (white can be colored with professional icing coloring, such as Wilton's-NEVER use water-based food coloring! EVER!) Only heat until liquidy enough to dip, mixing the shortening into the chocolate gently. Like 10 to 20 seconds maximum. Also a few tablespoons of real rum or rum extract really brings out the flavor in the cake crumb/icing mixture for a real Christmas treat! Freeze crumb/icing mix balls overnight.You can use a melon baller or olive spoon scoop afterwards to make smaller balls. Reheat chocolate for 20 seconds and mix gently after 5 minutes each time you have rolled the balls. If red velvet sticks to your fingers while rolling keep a small pat of warm butter near you to rub your fingers on every time they get too sticky or in between balls. Just a few easy hints. <br /><br />Also you can sprinkle broken candy cane pieces on top of the wet chocolate to decorate or use silver balls (dragees) on top as an edible decoration.<br /><br />Sandra Roberts<br />Edmonton, Alberta, Canadasonos2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/12348578273302999603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36079518497544947.post-46783986144366083522012-12-21T09:07:06.466-08:002012-12-21T09:07:06.466-08:00TIP: instead of using my fingers to mix (yes it...TIP: instead of using my fingers to mix (yes it's messy!)

Sounds like you had quite a time but great that you were prepared with all the different chocolates and were able to salvage the balls and serve them in the end!!<br /><br />I have better luck with Almond Bark than I do chocolate chips. If you haven't ever used Almond Bark, here is a link so you can see what I'm talking about: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Plymouth-Pantry-Almond-Bark-Vanilla-Baking-Bar-24-oz/10313775 <br /><br />It seems to melt much smoother and to just the right consistency for dipping. Also, if the toothpick doesn't work for you, try dipping with a dipping set such as the one I linked in an earlier post. Wilton has one and it doesn't leave a hole. Other than that, it's just a matter of PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! lol. They're tricky little buggers but worth the effort once you master them because everyone will be so very appreciative!! <br /><br />If you've already dipped them, I wouldn't think freezing would be the best idea because chocolate gets chalky once it freezes. But if you haven't dipped them yet, you can keep them indefinitely in the freezer 'til you're ready to use them. Good luck!!! :-)TammyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09391366261406932242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36079518497544947.post-88300537089133281402011-09-29T11:05:57.079-07:002011-09-29T11:05:57.079-07:00Yesterday I made your delicious red velvet cake ba...Yesterday I made your delicious red velvet cake balls, along with oreo cake balls. To say they were awesome would be an understatement. More oohs and aahs from relatives that I ever received before and I love to cook. However I while everyone says how easy they are to make on your website, I had so much trouble. I made the red velvet cake mix- No problem. I bought three kinds of chocolate. Nestles Toll House semi sweet chocolate bar, Ghiardellis semi sweet chocolate bar and Nestles white chocolate chips. First I TRIED to melt the Ghiardellis and followed the instructions in the microwave at 50 percent power level for a minute and then 10 second intervals. All of a sudden there was smoke coming out of my microwave and the chocolate burnt. Okay, so I now followed other directions with the Nestles semi sweet bar and melted it at 100% power for 45 seconds and had to do it maybe once or twice more for 10 seconds. It melted okay, not quite as thin as I thought and there was my problem. I had frozen the cake balls for an hour and when I stuck a toothpick in them and dipped them in this chocolate, they just fell apart when lifting them out of the thick chocolate. WHAT A MESS!!!! So I added maybe a 1/4 of a teaspoon of oil, but when I took the balls out of the chocolate they always had the hole in them from the place where I tried to take the toothpick out. It was horrible. Yes they did harden and yes they were delicious, but they looked disgusting. So then I melted the chocolate chips, but this time I added a little more oil. NOT A GOOD THING. While it was thinner, I still had the same problem putting them in with the toothpick and when I took them out they just fell apart. They also hardened but looked horrible. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? The dipping was so hard for me.<br /><br />Also, can I freeze the ones I had left over because I made so many because of the mess I made of the dipping?<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042639722627818537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36079518497544947.post-17935983549609309452011-09-24T11:03:49.665-07:002011-09-24T11:03:49.665-07:00I am so eager to try these.

The balls do take practice and patience before you can expect to have red balls inside of white chocolate (and not PINK). lol.<br /><br />A few things you might try if the toothpick thing isn't workin' for ya. Use one of those dipping sets such as this: http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=3E3090AB-475A-BAC0-5DED68EC1A358C87&killnav=1 <br /><br />That is the Wilton brand but they have others also on Amazon or in somewhere like Michael's or Hobby Lobby. <br /><br />How to know if they're firm enough. Again, trial and error. If you dip one and have a hard time getting it out of the chocolate without it breaking, then leave it in the freezer a little longer. And be sure not to make your balls too big. They're so much harder to handle when they're bigger. Once you get the hang of it, you can adjust that to your liking but starting out, I would make them about the size of a large marble. Also, don't melt all of your white chocolate at once. That way, if your chocolate starts getting pink, you can dump that and start with some fresh. <br /><br />BAKERELLA: You are my hero!!

You can, however, freeze them before they're dipped. I usually put them on a cookie sheet and let them get partially frozen and then put them into a large ziploc or vacuum seal bag and freeze 'til needed. We recently celebrated our 30th Anniversary and I'm attaching a link to the picture of the ones we had that night. They were a HUGE hit...especially the little tuxedo ones! :-)<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150133135387932&set=a.10150133134132932.332397.784822931&type=1&theater<br /><br />If you have a problem accessing the photo, just post again and I'll email it to you directly. Also, to answer your question about keeping the white chocolate from turning pink...this just takes some practice and for me, dipping a firmly frozen ball. I did read that for some, the frozen balls cracked after dipping but I haven't had that problem. Don't make your balls too big, either. I usually make mine about the size of a walnut. They dip easier that way and may be good for you to try as a beginner. Personally, I like the ratio of cake to chocolate better when they're smaller, too. You might want to try it a couple of times before you are actually making them for your wedding to perfect your own technique and see what works best for you.
