I worked with two cakes all last week (making gumpaste decorations and fondant bows, in addition to the baking and frosting and decorating). I had a piece of cake Saturday at a picnic, and again today @ my daughter's birthday lunch. I had to pack up to get my supplies ready for Wilton cake decorating class tomorrow after work, and I could barely stand the smell of the frosting i was putting in tupperware bowls. I hope I can stand to smell it and use it at class tomorrow. Does anyone else ever get like this?
I understand completely. It has come to the point I can't stand the smell of butter cream either after I am done with my cakes. Depending how late, sometimes I'll leave my mixing bowls, etc. in the sink and then do the dishes in the morning. I do not do that any more, because I just do not like the smell of butter cream still lingering in the kitchen.
you are not alone. I am thankful for the times I have a couple weeks break between cakes. I get a chance to recharge and go back at it.
Believe it or not but a while back I had to make a lot of chocolate cakes and I got to the stage where I hated chocolate!! Thank goodness it wasn't permanent (only lasted a couple of days, phew!)
Oh man, that happened to me last week with a candy barrel cake. Between the cake and the icing and all that candy, ugh. And THEN when we delivered I had the cake on my lap and all I could smell was chocolate and it was actually making me feel a little queasy. 
I came home and wound up opening a can of pineapple tidbits and eating them straight from the can with a fork just to try and get the overwhelming chocolate smell out of my system.
Fortunately I was over it the next day and was mighty glad to have a little of the icing left over. 
The only time the smell of buttercream made me sick was when I added butter flavoring to it - blech
I almost threw up. The smell of buttercream with just vanilla is actually pleasant to me - reminds me of cake decorating so it makes me happy
