This post was supposed to come right after Halloween, but life gets busy, and now we’re playing the catch up game.

I had mentioned that I made treats for my sons first class party.

The kiddos got treat bags and cupcakes, but, because I’m nice, I even made something for the parents.

TRUFFLES

I consider myself a beginning baker. I’ve made many things home made, and some things start with a store bought cake mix and is transformed into something amazing, like my truffles.

Pictured here are four types of Truffles. They started with a plain cake mix, but I add additional ingredients and the fillings are from scratch.

1. Red Velvet Fudge: Red Velvet cake, with homemade cream cheese filling mixed into the crumbled cake, along with some additional ingredients. The center is a home made milk chocolate fudge. Then its dipped into a white chocolate with a milk chocolate drizzle.
2. Orange Creme: White cake, with a homemade orange creme filling mixed into the crumbled cake, along with some additional ingredients. Then dipped into white chocolate and drizzled with an orange flavored white chocolate.
3. Milk Chocolate fudge: This is just my homemade milk chocolate fudge dipped into a milk chocolate.
4. Pumpkin Spice: White cake, with a homemade pumpkin spice and cream cheese filling, along with additional ingredients. Dipped into white chocolate. Drizzled with a white chocolate spice and sprinkled cinnamon on top.

I am happy to report that all the parents loved them. Most of them said the pumpkin was their favorite. They were very appreciative.
