[...] I have a sweet tooth. I’ve given up trying to deny it. I like dessert. Dark chocolate is, indeed, better than much of the sex I’ve had. The French have every right to their perceived snobbery when one considers their pastry offerings. So, it is to be expected that I pause at the sight of sugary delights and I feel compelled to try any new confection about which I hear. Particularly if I am not required to make it myself. [...]

Kat: Yummy’s Vanilla Rolled Sprinkle cupcake looks exactly the way I imagined mine would look. Alas, it was not to be. But mine did taste better!

Calimama: That sounds totally delicious. You have a very lucky family. I would do the same thing, except god knows how pancakes would turn out if I tried to make them!

I'm exhausted and I needed a good laugh. Thank you. You did give me an idea though. I sometimes make pancakes and freeze the extras for toasting another day. What if I just added some of the frosting hiding in the back of my fridge for a home-made toaster pop-up? Hmmm, think I'll have to make pancakes tomorrow so I can try it! calimama@compactbydesign’s last blog post..grow right

That has to be the funniest thing I've seen or heard in a long time. Flattened cupcakes...crazy. Then again, I just now, finished a cupcake from Yummy. My friend is a bit addicted to cupcakes and made me take her there while they were still open. Mind you, she still had one from Crumbs sitting at home while she purchased two more. Me, I think I need to just walk away from all things cupcakes. Kat’s last blog post..You’ll Think of Me

LiLu: Oh god, I’d be a puddled mess on the kitchen floor with that kind of pressure. Thank goodness my grandmothers’ names were Sarah and Rosemary. I haven’t disappointed Sara Lee yet.

This rang especially true for me, as my grandmother's name is actually Betty and she was a Home Ec teacher for 50 years. Try living up to that... LiLu’s last blog post..Sometimes Love is Spine-y.

Liebchen: You are absolutely correct. In fact, I think they were better because there was no guilt associated with destroying their beauty.

JP: You are on. I’ve always wanted to know where the keys fit in. Do they have to be house keys?

Nat: Um, yes, that is exactly what I did. If I had tried to create a leaf-shaped cookie, I’m afraid it might have morphed into a leaf blower-shaped cracker. Welcome to Pleasure Notes and my mad skillz. I promise to reveal ever more remarkable talents.
