Listening to the Ray D'Arcy show this morning and they had a huge debate about whether or not those lovely things are known as:
a). Rice Krispie Buns
b). Rice Krispie Cakes.
To me they're buns....always have been, always will be. But a lot of people think they're cakes.....
What do you think??
Oh cakes for sure. For me a bun is like sponge :)
Bun.....that is what they are called so no need to complicate the situation.
Definitely cakes. Now you've made me think of them, I want one:).
Gonna add a poll to get a true reflection.
They are buns, always have been always will
You get 5 times as many results with cakes on google :pQuote:

They're served in those little bun cases/wrappers so they're buns
FACT ;)
The dictionary doesn't help, with its two definitions;
A). a solid food made by baking a mixture of flour, fat, eggs, sugar, etc.
B). a solid block of a particular substance, eg soap, chocolate, etc.
A would mean its a bun, but B would mean its a cake.
Of course the fookers at Rice Krispies only complicate matters even more....they call them 'Treats'
It's always been a "cake" for me. Bun just sounds wrong...
definately a bun!
Bun, surely. If someone offered me a Rice Krispie cake, I would expect something with at least an 8" diamater, and would be very disappointed at only getting a bun.
For me, cakes are big, buns are small (with the exception of queen cakes, and jaffa cakes).
I can honestly say that before that ad, I had never heard of a Rice Crispy Bun. The entire idea of it being anything other than a Rice Crispy Cake is simply preposterous.
adam
alway has been a bun and always will be
Always called them cakes.
Of course Kellogg’s call them Treats.
Whats a rice Krispie cake could anyone tell me. Really lads its bun and ye all know it.

Definitely a bun, it's blasphemy to insult them with the term 'cake'..
ohhhh this is a can of worms!! cake or bun could have huge ramifications right across the treat world.
Is it a fairy cake, fairy bun or a fairy cake bun???
See if they had only been around a few years the copyright would help decided..
Never heard the phrase "Rice Krispie Cake" in my life! Definitely a bun.
