Slow cooker or double boiler (optional)
Chopped or crushed dehydrated fruits, herbs, edible flowers, and/or coconut
Paper candy cups
Decorative box(es)
Instructions
Cut the cake into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Spread them on a dehydrator tray and dehydrate at 125°F (52°C) for 6 hours, until crunchy.
Put the cookie sheet in the freezer.
Melt the chocolate in a small slow cooker on LOW, in the microwave, or in the top of double boiler set over simmering water (be sure not to let any water or steam get into the melting chocolate or it will seize or clump up).
Using a skewer, dip each cake cube in the melted chocolate and place on the chilled cookie sheet. While the chocolate is still tacky, decorate them with your dehydrated items and/or sprinkles. Once the chocolate has completely hardened, place each cube in a paper candy liner and then into a decorative candy box. Stored in a cool, dry place, they will keep for up to 2 months.
