cream puffs
Hollow filled pastries
Cream puffs are light pastries made from choux dough, baked until hollow and filled with whipped cream or custard.
The delicate, airy shell contrasts with the rich filling: She brought a box of cream puffs from the bakery.
Figuratively, a cream puff is someone weak or unintimidating, or something deceptively easy: The first opponent was a cream puff.
