For a family get-together, I made cake pops (using crumbs made from the leftover cupcakes from the friends' visit, cream cheese, chocolate, and crushed almonds), and an apple tart.
The cake pops were a great success! The last time I made cake truffles, I found them way too sweet, what with the cake crumbs, the frosting, and the chocolate. This time, in anticipation, I lowered the amount of sugar in the cake recipe, and using cream cheese also brought down the level of sweetness. Using toasted sliced almonds that I crushed to smaller pieces helped to even out the flavor.
