i love... cake balls!

there have been quite a few food trends over the years (specifically in the dessert category)...
first it was the ice cream-mixing-on-a-slab concept -- which has since been replaced with fro yo (remember my fro yo debate last summer?).
then it was the cupcake boutiques -- and i still can't understand how a store could survive on cupcake sales alone... but it happens. and cupcakes were everywhere - receptions, birthdays, you name it.

well, the newest sweetie (see what i did there?) to hit the scene is CAKE BALLS. and let me tell you... i. am. a. fan. favorites include a red velvet and the oh-so-popular oreo cake ball.
and now they've even added a stick and call them cake POPS! (as seen at starbucks - one of the new "starbucks petites") my fav = birthday cake pop... YUM!
and check out baking blog bakerella for some unique ideas - and a whole book devoted entirely to cake pops!
do you have a favorite cake ball and/or cake pop?
