If you are good at baking...

[piscofrisco]

How do you stop yourself eating your own delicious cakes and biscuits (and/or the mixture as you go)?
I've recently decided to learn to bake-and I'm surprising myself with how good I am at it. But I've also gained about ten pounds, because I'm essentially getting high on my own supply! I've basically got no will power.
Is there such a thing as lockable cake tins?

I used to slice the cake and freeze it in portions so I didn't eat more than one at a time. Now I just have a bit and take the rest round for my grandchildren.

Have 5 children like I did, then you'll be lucky if you are left a crumb or two.

I had no idea you could freeze cake! Maybe this will help me!
And I do work in an office a few days a week, but everyone there is young and health conscious or on bloody mounjaro it seems so I take it in, then just eat it at work .

We have three teens, and two tweens. They eat maybe two thirds of whatever I've made, but the leftovers are the issue and on my two or three days wfh I'm also like the pp, just having little nibbles here and there until it's gone.

I set myself 'get good at baking' as a New Year's resolution so I'm loathe to give it up and the kids do like it (dd2 says she feels like 'an American child' when she comes home to cookies and brownies and what not-which she means as a good thing I think? ). I'm just going to need to be stricter.

That said I also have the same issue with normal food. I made a huge lasagne for last nights dinner. There is a big old square of it left. Which is shouting at me from the fridge and rather drowning out the whisper of the vegetable soup I also
Made with the Intention of health....
