Addicted to buttercream! Help!!!!

[isleangel]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find themselves standing in the kitchen eating leftover buttercream, after making treats for DS1 and 2? I am a size 8, but at this rate I won't be for much longer! Do I have an addiction?

Snap out of it IMMEDIATELY. Put down the spoon, bowl in the sink and fill it with hot water
Repeat after me: "Cakes and biscuits are for CHILDREN....Buttercream is Baaaaaaaaaaad...."

That idea never crossed my mind - I hate seeing anything go to waste . I tell myself not to make anything with buttercream in it anymore, but its becoming more frequent and I can't help myself - Arrrgh. Might try your shocking suggestion next time - thanks (although I don't know if I could go as far as not eating cakes and biscuits - what else would i eat?)

Freeze any good quantity immediately and then fill bowl with hot soapy water.

Butter + sugar = thighs.

Oh it does actually sound scary, when you put it like that! Maybe I should rethink - wonder would that work with all biscuits - or maybe I should give up baking altogether (all I need to look at is the mess in the kitchen for that!)
