Oh cake, how I love thee.

I've always been a lover of the sweeter things in life, specifically cake.
I'm not a baker ... or a cook, Stephen is the cook in our home.
My mother tells me at a young age she tried to teach me to cook and I told her I would pay someone to do it, and I do pay for it ... in sexual favors.

So, back to cake.
There are two pretty awesome cake places around here that I would frequent daily if I didn't have to deal with the battle of the bulge on my body and my wallet.


Let's start with Nothing Bundt Cakes.
This is by far my favourite.
They have a variety of sizes for your consumption or occasion (the will even decorate your cake with a plastic flower).
The bundtini, is a little cupcake sized bundt cake, the bundlet is a single serving of deliciousness, then they have the 8" and 10" cakes.
My favourite size is the bundlet and my favourite flavour is the white chocolate raspberry and the cream cheese frosting is the business!
If you sign up online, at random times in the year you can get a free bundlet, and you can receive updates on their tantalizing flavour of the month.
Mmmmh, my mouth is watering just thinking about the cream cheesy goodness.



My next favourite cake place to visit is The Sweet Tooth Fairy, or The Tooth Fairy as Mana likes to call it.
LOVE the cupcakes from this place, though you have to eat them that day, otherwise they get hard and crusty.

The frosting is buttery goodness, and the aroma when you walk in?
Vanilla Buttery goodness .... foodgasm.
There sugar cookies are ok, but I buy them so I can eat the frosting without wasting cake.
The Mr. prefers their cake bites over cupcakes, as do my children, but not me, I'm all about the funfetti cupcakes.
They have some pretty sweet flavours of the month, with one of the best being a smore's cupcake.

Man, I could talk about cake all day, infact, I dream about cake sometimes and will often begin a conversation with "Speaking of cake", whether you were or not.

So, if you want to bribe me, cake is the way!

Gobble Bubble


Ah Thanksgiving.
A day off work, a day with family and friends, and a repast to consume (unnecessary) copious amounts of food.

Round One.
Salad, or salads as it were yesterday.
Round Two.
Turkey and cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, roast sweet potatoes with brown sugar caramelized on top, stuffing, green bean casserole, gravy, cauliflower and cheese.
Round Three
(same as round two)
Round Four
Pie.
Pumpkin pie, apple pie, banoffee.

So good and yet so bad!

I often wonder why we (I) insist on eating more than is necessary.  
At a certain point, your body no longer enjoys what you are eating and starts to repel what you are doing .Your waist line starts running away from you thus expanding. 
At least, that’s what happens to me. 
Sometimes I think I can feel my skin tightening.
My clothes begin to anger and I believe they tighten in an effort to try to constrain me from the harm I am inflicting on myself, as if to say “No, stop it, we can’t take it.”


Even the clothes on the picture of myself I doodled today, look menacing “Why can’t you fit me? You did when you put me on this morning. Three hours later, and we need to be replaced?”

Oh willpower, why do you abandon me when I need you so?
That fluffy, delicious cream all whipped and poised, enticing me, calling me “put me on your pie, you know you won’t be satisfied without my creamy peaks atop that sweet layer of pumpkin”. Naughty, naughty pie.

And that is why I am sick today.

Chubb-a-lubb


This is my fatty boom sticks measure. On days when I feel like a lard, I'm going to feel watermelon-ey. On days I feel skinny, I'll be a banana, pure genius!
