2) Next add to the mix from above, the baked pound cake. Crumble cake over the top of the mix and then blend til thoroughly combined
3) Next add to the mix from above, 1lbs granulated sugar and mashed potatoes, and then blend til thoroughly combined---The mix will begin to setup to a very thick “scoopable” mass.
4) Chill mix for at least 2-3 hours or until very cold and somewhat solid
5) Take a small scoop measuring 1.5-2inches in diameter and begin to scoop the mix (only scoop a few at a time so they will not begin to soften to room temperature)
