Red Velvet Cake...or balls

My girlfriend, Kandi, may be responsible for my recent gain of weight. I mean, she is the one who sent me off to this website. So, yep, thats it. Sorry Kandi, but its your fault....

I made this decadently, rich, beautiful Red Velvet Cake from the Pioneer Women Cookbook (you dont have that one??? Whats wrong with you?? GO.BUY.IT.NOW!!) but, I made it in those pretty tart pans from Pampered Chef, and if you plan on using those, then not only spray the heck outta them with cooking spray, but flour those bad boys too...trust me on this one!
So, as I was saying, I made this beautiful cakes for my Mom's birthday party...and dont you know I couldnt get them out of the pans?? They got caught up in a well that these pans have and got stuck. I couldnt get them out unharmed. So sad, I know. But then I remembered that Bakerella makes these cute little cake pops. Yes. Cake pops...! So, I followed the directions to make those, thinking that the birthday girl would have something in the form of cake at her party! But, as it would turn out, I forgot the chocolate to dip these baby's in, and my mom had just used her last (and only I will point out) bag of chocolate chips the night before on pumpkin bread...just my luck. So we never did have these that night, but I froze those little cake balls and made them this week. And its the best turnout from a mistake that has ever happened to me.

I highly recommend these...very rich and delightful! Yummy for dessert after a good meal with a side of coffee...
