My cinnamon rolls looked pretty...but were quite dry. I'm in the search for a better recipe. The good news was I actually turned flour and milk into dough..that rose and everything! (The last time I tried to make dough--years ago--I couldn't get it to rise properly...this is 1/2 the battle for good baked bread!)
And the cake balls...I was going to make another football cake for the Superbowl gathering we were attending. Unfortunately my cake decided not to cooperate and broke in half. Well, when life gives you a broken cake...make cake balls! I had never made cake balls, but they sounded easy! The actual making and forming of the balls was easy, the hard part was the coating and decorating. I couldn't get my chocolate as smooth and I would like, and I found just how difficult it is to try and pipe on melted chocolate--NOT an easy task! The final result...They tasted good...and you could mostly tell they were supposed to be footballs...but I'm going to have to do some work on these!
Alton Brown's cinnamon roll recipe is wonderful. It takes a good bit of prep time, but so very good!
