I remember realizing this at about 20, and that if I bought my own cake ingredients I could make cake for startlingly little money. The most expensive part was probably the ready made frosting.
Anyway I started making cakes for friends and neighbours in my apartment building after work. I didn’t keep it up for very long, maybe a year, but I’m convinced my reputation is still riding high, decades later, from the goodwill I sowed during that time.
As an adult you should realize that eating a cake any time you want is unhealthy and should have the self control to delay that gratification. Sure noone can stop you, but you should have the self respect to stop yourself.
They do affect everyone the same in the sense that all people will gain weight at the same rate. But the weight distribution in the body will be different.
This is actually false again. I’ve always had a massive sweet tooth, especially for baked goods, but still stayed skinnier than my friends. Some people really can just put it away.
You know I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a whole cake, and at this point I think I would regret it before I was even half finished lol, but if you’ve got the mettle good speed to you 🙇
I had to get rid of mine to make room for the raptor enclosure. Muldoon keeps telling me I should just destroy them because they are too dangerous, but I might be able to monetize them so they must stay. Safety is his job anyways, so I don’t know why he bugs me about it.
I discovered that in my mid-20s. I enjoyed eating a whole cake all by myself whenever the hell I wanted a few times and then the consequences begin to show and that’s how we learn our lessons about things like that and then we eventually teach our kids the right way to do things and then they get bored with that and they turn around and rebel and then they learn their lessons in their 20s and the cycle continues.
You can, you absolutely can. The thing is now it’s not just that cake at the bakery counter in the grocery store. You’re going to commit to buying a 10,000 calorie pile of wonder. You need to make sure that you do a good job. You need to go find the best goddamn cake in your area. But then, that means you got to drive a little bit. And it’s going to be expensive, and you already a couple of pounds heavier than you should be because you’re out of time and dealing with the kids. Ah crap, the kids they’re going to want some cake. I have to eat this in my car. Do you think the bakery has utensils? Damn now I’m going to have to go two places. Ahh screw it maybe the next time this is posted.
Yeah it makes me want to go out and get a cake. For about 30 seconds before I think about the logistics of actually getting a cake, having to pay for it myself, then eating like 2 pieces before I start feeling sick and overloaded on sugar and just leave the rest in the fridge until it goes stale.
OMG, coffee shops exists who sell cake by the serving. Some are delicious and they will keep bringing you new slices of cake as long as you promise to pay for them until all the cake is gone. And the waiter might judge you, but she will do so silently and from afar.
Diners are also a pretty good place. The desserts are usually somewhat generic repeatable things but they are of a consistently decent quality, and as you point out sold by the slice.
It seems like every time I find a favorite place they just disappear.
We (me, wife and 3yo) were driving through a fairly urban area. There was this little sign outside this place that said vegan spiced chai cupcakes. I’m not vegan, I’m not vegetarian, but what I have found is that if a place says they’ve got vegan cupcakes or vegan cookies, somebody has been working on that taste and texture for years to get it right.
They were absolutely the best cupcakes I’ve ever had in my life. The store closed up shop after about 6 months.
