ummmm.... i literally just ate a bowl of cake crumbs with a spoon.

i had left over cake that was crumbled. i didn't want to save it for cake balls so i was just going to throw it out.
well, on my way to the garbage can.... the cake crumbs glistened ever so slightly in the warm light of the kitchen.... they were calling my name (i swear)

so, i grabbed a spoon and sat down to finish them off. its no wonder i am gaining weight by the minute. its the cake crumbs' fault!!!!

YUM! That would go good with the white chocolate BC I ate by the spoonful the other day!

LOL shhhh we wont tell anyone!

LOL Guess we are not the only ones

LOL that's awesome! Why waste a perfectly good treat?!?

Did you know that when the cake is broken or in crumbs, they are only HALF the calories of the original cake!?!

I guess I would have to say that you should be proud you used a spoon. SOME PEOPLE (no names) scoop them up and eat them by the fist full!!!


LOL!!!!!

So should i add the lemon curd that scraped off of the side of the empty bowl with a slide of the hooked finger. I guess that will give us a tiered cake. LOL

no worries. the other night I tried making some petit fours. Cake rose too high, icing too heavy, chocolate ganache not preferable (too heavy) for coating an already too-tall, too-soft petit-four.
They kept tipping over. One after another.

Do you know what I did???

I kept stuffing them in my mouth, real quick, to destroy the evidence! I think I ate like 7 of them!

"Did you know that when the cake is broken or in crumbs, they are only HALF the calories of the original cake!?!"


ABSOLUTLY TRUE!! The calories just fall out when the cake crumbles!

I am laughing sooo hard right now!

Ahhh yesss....leave no evidence behind...if there is no evidence they are ZERO calories because they NEVER existed in the first place!!! LOL

mthiberg - I love that theory. No evidence = no calories. If only I could convince my waistline and butt of that.

Dont feel so bad, whenever I level my cakes, guess where the tops go? my mouth 8(

My leveled cake tops go in my mouth, but first I have to smear a bit of icing on it, fold it over, and make a little cake sandwich.

Yeah, I have the same problem. I somehow always manage to eat all my scraps so I never have anthing to try making cake balls with! Guess I'll have to make a cake specifically for that purpose.

Oh girl....I am guilty also.
Confession is good for the soul.
If only it was good for the waistline.
I think I will have to be more stern with myself if I'm going to do this cake thing.
Maybe I should keep a ruler on the counter to slap my hand with!
(actually, I'd probably use it as a spoon)

Dear Ladies....you are all so wrong!!! It is written...."Broken cookies and cake crumbs have absolutely no calories!! Besides just last night I was talking to chef at our local career school and he said that a calorie was a measure of a unit of heat...unless those cake crumbs were hot, they could not have had any calories!! He said it himself, to have calories one must have heat!! Not only was our meal awesome...he had quite a sense of humor!!! ha!ha!

I make the little cake sandwiches too, from leftover frosting and the cake tops....oh dear.
I made a really good batch of chocolate buttercream once, and could not stop myself from eating it cold out of the fridge. It was like candy.

Crumbs? What crumbs?

I have left over icing in the pantry right now, sitting beside the peanut butter, I take a scoop of peanutbutter and a scoop of BC and eat it like a popcicle. Tastes just like candy

Were you window peeping at my house last night?

Okay, okay, but I have to eat the leveled cake tops to make sure the cake taste all right. I wouldn"t want to sell someone a cake that wasn' t any good. Would you? And that can of caramel that I ate last night was so I could make sure it passed the taste test also. (I had never made caramel from Eagle Brand milk!!) So I look at myself as not only the baker, the decorater, and the sales person but also as the quality control engineer.
