Recipe of the Month: Red Velvet Cake Balls

The Perfect Valentine's Treat!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Red Velvet cake mix and the ingredients on the box
  • 1 to 1 cups cream cheese frosting (store bought or homemade) 
  • 24 ounces white chocolate or vanilla almond bark
  • Sprinkles, chocolate, etc. for decorations


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Bake the cake according to the directions on the box. Let it cool completely. 
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add 1 cup of frosting and mix it up with a wooden spoon or electric mixer. 
  3. The mixture may seem dry at first. It will take the cake a bit of time to absorb the moisture of the frosting. It is recommended to allow it to rest for 5 minutes to see if it needs more moisture. If it does, add more frosting a spoonful at a time until the mixture is a smooth consistency. A bit stiff like cookie dough. 
  4. Once the mixture can be easily rolled into smooth balls, roll the cake balls into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 1 hour. 
  5. While the cake balls are freezing, melt the white chocolate slowly over a double boiler. Dip the cake balls in the white chocolate using a toothpick or a fork. Set the cake balls on parchment paper to harden. If you want to add sprinkles, add them right away while the chocolate is still wet.
  6. Otherwise, wait till the white chocolate hardens and drizzle a bit of melted dark chocolate over the top. They keep in the fridge for a day or two or several weeks in the freezer.

In this article, we'll explore some of the most bizarre and unusual laws from around the globe that will leave you scratching your head in disbelief. Join us as we take a journey through the weird and wonderful world of strange laws, where the line between legality and absurdity is often blurred. From the downright bizarre to the oddly specific, these legal regulations are sure to entertain and amuse as we uncover the strange and surprising laws that govern our world.  No High Heels Without a Permit (Greece) : In Greece, it's illegal to wear high heels without a permit. This law was introduced to prevent damage to historical sites and monuments, but it's still enforced today, leaving fashion-forward visitors scratching their heads. No Walking Your Pet Alligator Without a Leash (Florida, USA) : In Florida, it's against the law to walk your pet alligator without a leash. While this law might seem like common sense, it's a humorous reminder of the state's unique wildlife. No Chewing Gum (Singapore) : In Singapore, chewing gum is banned to maintain cleanliness and prevent vandalism. While exceptions are made for therapeutic gum, the sale and possession of chewing gum are heavily regulated. No Naming Your Child "Batman" (Mexico) : In Mexico, there's a law prohibiting parents from naming their children "Batman" or any other superhero-inspired name. While it might seem like a fun idea to some, the government takes naming regulations seriously. No Salmon Suspicion (UK) : In the UK, it's illegal to handle a salmon in suspicious circumstances. This obscure law dates back centuries and is still on the books, though its enforcement is rare. No Eating Fried Chicken With a Fork (Gainesville, Georgia, USA) : In Gainesville, Georgia, it's illegal to eat fried chicken with anything other than your fingers. This law is a nod to the city's proud Southern heritage and culinary traditions. No Whistling at Night (Portugal) : In Portugal, it's considered bad luck to whistle at night. This superstition has led to a law prohibiting whistling after dark, with the belief that it can attract evil spirits or bring about misfortune. No Duck Parades Without a Permit (Tennessee, USA) : In Tennessee, it's illegal to hold a duck parade without a permit. While the origins of this law are unclear, it's a humorous reminder of the state's quirky regulations. No Wearing a Suit of Armor to Parliament (UK) : In the UK, it's illegal to wear a suit of armor to Parliament. This law dates back to the 1313 Statute Forbidding Bearing of Armor, which aimed to prevent armed noblemen from intimidating lawmakers. No Selling Gum (Thailand) : In Thailand, it's illegal to sell gum due to concerns about litter and cleanliness. While chewing gum is not prohibited for personal use, the sale and distribution of gum are strictly regulated.
