As I sit here eating the last 5 thin mint cookies left in my house, I sadly count down to the end of Fat Tuesday. sniff, sniff. I've decided to give up desserts for Lent.
At first I was really sad about the idea, then I realized that I don't have to give up cake decorating! In fact, I'll use the next 40 days to focus on my decorating skills instead of my recipe testing and baking skills.
So tomorrow I plan to place a big order for cake dummies. And I'm heading to the library to get as many cake decorating books as I can. Who knows, I may even lose a few pounds before all is said and done!
Well, the thin mints are officially gone. Guess Lent is beginning a bit early for me!
Just remember not to lick your fingers when you make the icing(maybe make it cheap and bad tasting? 
).
I'm with you. I'm giving up sweets also. I figure it's the least I could do, since he gave us our life. But it's only 4 days until Sun. So I'll make it no problem.
Good luck! I'll pray for all of us "TESTERS" that our icing and cakes will be fine without us taste testing
