Dessert Baking blogs = fatty fat blogs

First, I would like to point my finger at cup-cake, cake-decorating, any sort of mommy-is-constantly-baking-unhealthy-crap blogs.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? You are basically signing yourself up to gaining 20 lbs because you are cooking up amazing desserts! And making enough for at least a crowd of 12 people!

Am I the only one that looks at these blogs of people baking and frosting things on facebook and wondering why someone feels inclined to bake batches and batches of cupcakes 3 times a week for the sake of their BLOG? Sure, baking them for special occasions or for crowds makes sense, but for the heck of it, constantly? Yes, they are cute, but are they worth being glorified so much? Last time I checked, a cupcake never gave me insane amounts of pleasure. Only a sick feeling that came about 5 minutes after eating it because of their intense sugary-ness.

Maybe they simply adore having one bite of their creations. I, for one, have NO sense of self-control when it comes to sweets, so I have to be entirely removed from the temptation or else I will eat the entire batch of cookies I bake.

When I lived in the nursing home, I loved the desserts and had one every night. What happened? I gained 15-20lbs that I have been trying to lose for the past year and a half.

So that is my warning. It's like saying to the world "Hey!! Look at me! I stay at home with kids all day and I REALLY want to get fat! See pictures of me eating crap with my husband, are you SOO jealous??" Actually, no, not at all. You are making yourself look like a fool.

Then again, they may have great self-control and don't have issues over-eating with sweets. It still won't end very well. Someone is gonna want to eat those delicious treats. And clean off all of those dishes...washing dishes isn't fun!

Ironically, writing this makes me want a cupcake.
