I'm starting a wilton class on sunday and decided to the bake cookies we need to take to the first class today. They needed to be flat. I tried a new recipe and the cookies came out lumpy/bumpy so I don't think they'll work too well. I'm going to make sugar cookies now... jeez.

    mmmmm cookies.

    I started baking over the summer and I definitely put on a pound or two-- especially since Greg doesn't eat sweets! I started sending them into work with him-- could you do the same?

    Or, just eat them all yourself without shame! I think either is a fine choice!

    haha i love baking but I never do because I know I'll gain a ton of weight from eating what I bake! Brandon is good and won't eat very much of it, but if I take it to work I just eat a TON cuz he's not there to tell me to slow my roll haha. He saves my waistline.

    Thanks Pamila! I already made a batch with a recipe off of 'all recipes'. They're pretty yummy.

    I'm checking to see if I can freeze them. Otherwise I'll send some to school with DH on Tuesday... but by then they won't be as good I bet. Maybe I'll give some to our upstairs neighbour.

    You can freeze the dough, I don't know if you can freeze after you bake though

    You can freeze after you bake... but problem solved. Half the batch got burned on the bottom... maybe because it said not to grease the pan and I was reusing the pans.

    I love to bake, but HH and I both put on weight if I do. I have come up with a solution, however. I am going to bake brownies and send them to work with him for his boys in group therapy. They loosen up and talk a lot more if he makes them coffee or something, so just imagine how chatty they will be if I send them big, gooey brownies. Smile

    You are going to be eating a lot of cake.  When I took the Wilton classes last summer we had constant cake.  And we kind of got used to always have cakes and desserts so we eat dessert every night now.  H has gained a little weight, but luckily we both workout enough that it hasn't really affected us.

    I just burnt the edges of my brownies because I was balancing the checkbook and lost track of time! :(

    Eh, they're teenage boys. They'll eat anything.
