wedding cake

I have been reading several blogs recently about Lent. I have decided to participate this year. During this season, I have limited myself to only two slices of cake per day. This is going to be tough, but I think I can abstain.

I completed my cake decorating class on Monday night and really enjoyed it.

Some of the benefits of taking the class include:
1. Learning different techniques to making beautiful cakes.
2. Me getting on the ball and hounding several professional cake decorators in town to let me in on their secrets of making delicious cakes.

A draw back would be:
Every Monday night, I have had a new, delicious, beautiful cake sitting on my counter calling my name!

I have been eating wedding cake for breakfast, midmorning snack, midafternoon snack, and dessert after dinner for three weeks. Thank goodness I am a nursing mother or I would be in trouble!

Yesterday, I had it for breakfast and midmorning snack and said, "That's it for the day!" I then went to a friend's birthday party at lunch where they served delicious strawberry cake. It was too good to turn down.

I tried to throw it away and Bryon insisted that I didn't. He always wants me to make desserts so he can have a little bit at night. What he doesn't understand is that they sit there in the kitchen begging to be eaten all day. So today, I will try to finish off the cake so it will not tempt me tomorrow. I do think that I have eaten so much of it that the thought of ever eating it again makes me a little sick!
