large mixing bowl
large metal spoon
Wax paper
Plastic wrap
Deep, microwave-safe plastic bowl

Method
In a bowl add the leftover cake, if dry add a little sugar syrup or chocolate sauce, Make 12 approximate balls, 50 gm each. Melt the chocolate on a double boiler or in a microwave oven, add the colour, mix well and keep aside. Take the cake balls and insert plastic sticks in them, and shape them like a Christmas tree.

Dip the cake tree in the chocolate, let it cool, keep pouring chocolate with spoon. Then, take a toothpick and scratch the tree a little. Before the chocolate sets decorate with the sprinkles.
