I was excited to try this recipe, but ultimately failed. I was frustrated with the process of coating the balls with "candy melts". The Wilton product I used did not flow thinly enough to smoothly coat the cake balls. I was afraid to overheat the product. If anyone has any suggestions for an alternate product or technique, please let me know. The concept of the cake ball ornaments is just too good not to be able to recreate successfully.
