Make these fun little treats for parties or to give as edible gifts. This recipe makes up to 40 truffles from just one 20 cm round sponge layer, so we recommend freezing half the cake and icing separately. To do this, wrap tightly or store in an airtight container, then freeze for up to one month. Once made, the truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for one week.
