Today is my blogging anniversary! I can not believe it’s been a year already. I hope to keep you all around for the next year. I have a ton of recipe ideas in store and hopefully a bunch of great reviews and giveaways. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday!

I just wanted to leave you with my first recipe ever posted on Frosted Fingers:

Taste-Test Tuesday “Cake Bites”

I got this week’s recipe from DVO.com. I’m in the middle of making holiday cookies for at least 16 families. I love to bake and make cakes so I figured I’d give these a try.

Tasty Cake Bites

Makes 40-50 Cake Bites (I must have made some small balls, because I came up with a LOT more than that!)

Recipe by Kathy Oaks

1 devil’s food cake mix
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup butter
6 ounces cream cheese
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Milk, enough to make a good frosting
Dipping chocolate

Directions:

Make cake according to directions on box and bake as directed. While baking mix together butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make a frosting. When cake is done dump immediately into a large bowl with the cream cheese frosting (or store bought frosting) and mix it all together while still hot (it will be a little mushy). Refrigerate overnight. Roll into balls and dip in melted dipping chocolate. If balls are sticky I put them in freezer bags and flash freeze them until I’m ready to dip. They will freeze beautifully for months before they are dipped, just let them thaw for about 5 minutes before dipping to prevent cracking. Once cake bites are dipped do not refrigerate or freeze, just eat them!

*You can also use cream cheese frosting that you buy at the store.

**German chocolate cake mix mixed with german chocolate frosting and dipped in milk chocolate is also very tasty.
