Red Velvet Cake Stars

Lately, I've been obsessed with Bakerella and her amazing skills. I wanted to try the Red Velvet Cake Balls because they seemed pretty simple. I had to make treats in the shape of stars so I thought I would make an attempt for Red Velvet Cake Stars. They are much more time consuming than making the balls but I was pleased with how they turned out. I made about half a batch of stars and the rest were the usual balls.


A few tips for trying the stars:

• If you use white chocolate, be prepared to have the white chocolate mix with the red velvet cake. I could only use about half of the almond bark before it got too crumby and turned pink. The stars seem to be especially fragile because of the points.
  
• Use a small cookie cutter. It needs to be small to keep the shape. Also, the cake mixture will stick to the cookie cutter. I used a bamboo kabob stick and gently pushed the star out in the corners.
  
• Don't be fooled, the best way to dip these is a spoon. It seems strange because of the shape but I tried using a fork thinking that it would help keep the shape but the spoon worked much better.
