ASeriously, my fellow Artists. Please stop with the "Balls", as if the Art of Baking/Cooking isn't occupied with more Men than Women in the field. Cake Lollipops, Petite fours, Mini-cakes, Little guilt free bites, anything really but "Balls".
Buuuuuut that's what they are - balls. Balls and ball pops. Petite fours are not spherical. Mini cakes are also not spheres. There is nothing wrong with calling them what they are - balls. There is no negative connotation when used in context. So, I am not understanding the reason for your post. Color me confused.
You no likey cake BALLS? What wrong with cake BALLS? Okay, go to this thread and tell us how you really feel about cake BALLS.

God forbid that we have to start with political correctness in our cake decorating so as not to offend someones sensibilities.
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. So, should we start referring to base-spherical white object? Beach spherical plastic air-filled object?
Seriously?
Ha ha ha ha! I wonder why someone who is so enthusiastic about policing people's word usage has mis-spelled their own username. Unless you're really into sand and camels?
This is a troll, yes?
AI did push the term "cruffle" some time ago. It's a combination of "cake" and "truffle". Feel free to say that if you prefer. P.S. dessert has 2 s's.

Well maybe she's a diva of the desert?
Anyways, I don't think she meant is seriously. Cake testicles sounds much worse.
"Cake" balls are not cake, but crumbs of cake smooshed into a different life form. I have only made the kind with alcohol, so I call them "booze balls".
PS my local pharmacist has lately been handing out pairs of Ferrero Rocher with prescriptions of Viagra, Cialis, etc...

I love your pharmacist.
I've met some booze balls at office parties.
Let's extend this to anything with 'balls' in the name-- including sports... how about, basket-rounds...basespheres...foot-fours.
AI for one am am shocked at the suggestion that someone wouldn't want to hear it, it's always the highlight of my day when someone says [B] balls[\B]
So, do we call them Cake Holes. Like doughnut holes. Apparently they didn't want to call the little round doughnuts, balls either. Seriously, with all that's going on in the world lately, this is SOOOOOOOOOoo not a priority.
Hahaha! I have no problem with the term cake BALLS for ***ist reasons. I just think cake TRUFFLES sounds classier. All the more necessary when what you're pushing is, as BakingIrene says, smooshed up cake crumbs covered with chocolate! I also love your pharmacist's little giftie - although if I were the customer I wouldn't know whether to laugh or take offense: is the guy giving me some since I obviously don't have any?
Seriously? I got bleeped for using that little three-letter word that begins with s and ends with x in a totally non-***ual (it's okay, I bleeped myself this time, just to save you the trouble) context???
Small globular cake units?
No. I've decided I'd rather hear MOIST than globular --ick.
I have nothing to add,yet, cause I can't stop laughing- the kind with snorts lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Oh no, way! Truffles have nothing to do with cake! When someone tells me "here's a truffle" and I bite into a piece of globbed up cake that's covered with nasty candy melts and held together with icing that is more than a disappointment. Truffles should have cream, chocolate and perhaps some booze in them, but NO CAKE!!!!!
I suggest "cake descended ovaries" for a more female-centric version of cake balls. Just to clarify that there are women who bake, naturally.

I suspect it's to avoid some of the ads that search for key words. Although I shudder to think what ads will come from this thread. I think cake descended ovaries is my favourite alternative name so far, and I'll definitely be going to play basketshpere from now on.
