For the past two weeks, we’ve been grazing on holiday baked goods scattered around the office – from super rich brownies to elegant petifores. I received a lovely gift box filled with cake balls from Patty Cakes, a local company that sells its goodies at neighborhood shops, Drip Coffee and Holy Ravioli on Lovers just east of the Tollway.

You can find cake balls just about anywhere in Dallas these days, but Patty Cakes has been popping them out since 2008. They come in holiday flavors which include red velvet, peppermint, vanilla, fudge cake and rum. The cake is moist with a hard frosted shell.

You can get them in cute packaging, and for $24 a dozen, they make a great last-minute gift if you find yourself in a bind.
