Gingerbread Cake Bites

Cake bites are the best. I love how they can make a dessert table look ten times better just because they are so cute. I was at my sister in law’s baby shower the other day and there was this beautiful display of cake bites and I was dying. Too bad they take a little bit of time to make, or else I’d be making them all the time.

I decided to try making a Christmas themed cake bite, so I tried these gingerbread cake balls. They we’re so yummy. My whole family was dying at how tasty they tasted, and of course I was dying at how adorable they looked. I’d definitely bring these truffle bites to a Christmas party, not only because they’re tasty, but because I know they’d make the dessert table look that much better.

If you haven’t made cake balls before, make sure you have time and a little bit of patience. Especially if you want them to turn out looking absolutely perfect.
