We made cake balls last fall when I was on vacation with friends. It's very easy, and fun for about five minutes. Then you realize it's like playing with mud, and your hands are coated with cake/frosting goo, and ugh. We had a six year old with us, and even she went from "Fun!' to "Gross!" pretty quickly.

They are tasty, though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Won't anyone think of all the poor nutered cakes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

(Dim) ...I didn't know cake had balls...

Trudy beat me to it, actually. The above is my standard response to offers of rum balls, bourbon balls, etc. Warning: does not work for meatballs.

As someone who used to eat canned frosting with a spoon, I'm surprised to say cake balls don't sound all that appealing. I'm sort of aghast at myself.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I want a cake ball! TJs has these weird pancake balls that claim to be Swedish. They are kinda tasty, light and lemony. But I have no idea how you'd make them in a pan.

That was a staple in my house growing up, except that we called them Danish pancakes. I have a pan, and a recipe, but I never use them.

In not so onerous task news, I called the Surgicenter, told the nice woman who answered what account I was calling about, she took a moment to look at it, came back and said basically, "oh yeah, that's wrong. We've been having trouble with Blue Shield. Give me a while, and I can fix it for you."
