I bake because the results are pretty

For real. Even before gastric bypass surgery, and before my serious commitment to lose weight in preparation for gastric bypass surgery (that commitment started last April, and I had surgery in November), I wasn’t too into sweets. I’d much rather pig out on mac & cheese, fried chicken, biscuits, French fries, jalapeno poppers, etc. And when I was into sweets, I’d go for things like chocolate chip cookies and Reese’s peanut butter cups. Cupcakes? Thanks, but no thanks. Maybe the random bite or small lick of icing, but that’d be about it.
So don’t be surprised that I baked a batch of cupcakes tonight — two dozen minis and one dozen regular — and didn’t eat a single one. I have no plans to eat any of them either, though the kids have already devoured three mini cupcakes each. I was more into making them look quite spiffy in time for Valentine’s Day:
I know, I know… a fat chick that isn’t into cupcakes? No way!

Hello! My name is Jenn, and I'm a 25 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a four year old daughter, and a two year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.
Wow. You have absolutely no idea how AMAZING and delicous those look. Well, you probably do, but I’ve been craving something sweet lately and there’s nothing to eat here. Send now please?!
Haha. I wish that was possible. Very cute/adorable decorations for Valentine’s Day.
I love to cook & bake – but cupcakes are not my favorite mode of sweets. I like sweets – to a point – but cupcakes? No thanks! I agree with you there! And I’m a fat chick too – so there are 2 of us.

I use to be really really into cupcakes. I’m even a former pastry chef student from a culinary school. But lately, my love for cupcakes have been fading. It’s kinda scaring me lol. But I still like to make them and make them look pretty!
Which sucks cause no one will probably eat them since my mom’s diabetic and neither my husband or my dad like sweets :(.
