Happy Monday - that just might be an oxymoron.

Picture of Sydney, as promised.

We just realized that we have 6 blueberry trees in the backyard! I am so excited. We also have some raspberry bushes too. They are super tart though. Hopefully the blueberries will ripen to perfection. The proof:

I have seen a lot of these "cake balls" around the internet. One of my favorite baking sites, Bakerella, makes these cupcake shaped cake balls that are just too cute. My sister-in-law, Karen, sent me this article from the Dallas Morning News too. So I was ready to make some of my own. They are pretty easy to make and are really tasty. I just made a cake, crumbled it up and mixed it with frosting. I made the balls and stuck them in the freezer for a little while. After they are cold, I dip them in melted chocolate and add the sprinkles. I place them back in the freezer for just a minute and then they all done.

I love the round sprinkles. They add the perfect crunch.

Here's the inside - so you get the idea. Yummy!

Those cake balls look yummy. I might even have to give them a try.

The kids love the cake balls! I didn't have chocolate to dip them in, so in my mind they were "low cal" hee hee. Yours look very delicious.
