B’day truffles from All About Cake (page 161) by Christina Tosi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Time consuming but incredible

    First – these were delicious and a huge hit. I’m not a novice baker. I am, however, a novice baking by weight and was grateful for the dual guidance of measuring cups and spoons. Which brings me to the first of my problems. This recipe includes the recipe for birthday crumbs, to make “birthday sand”. My copy of the book (a library borrow) calls for 21 g sugar, or, in cups and measures 1 cup + 1 T. Obviously 21 g is not 1 cup + 1 T. After some research and Googling I landed on 210 g – clearly an editing error. It makes me wonder if the Piglet reviewer may have had a similar issue with the frosting recipe she reviewed. My second issue is with the inclusion of a full recipe of the crumbs. I have over half of the resulting “sand” left now. I certainly could have made errors in coating the balls but still---. Perhaps my library copy was a first run and further editing has corrected any other errors but I think I will wait awhile to buy a copy. I will try more recipes though.
