Cake grandma- sugar OD


(LeeAnn Brooks) #1

Yes, I’m the cake grandma. I have made some really amazing creations out of sugary confections.
Tomorrow is my granddaughters 11th birthday and she wanted a unicorn cake.

This one isn’t my best work, but she’ll love it.

I don’t even want to think about the amount of sugar and refined flour in this thing.

Should this be concidered child abuse???

How fun! It’s really pretty and I’m sure your granddaughter will love it. No, it’s not child abuse - they should still be able to enjoy treats now and again, IMHO. Happy birthday to your granddaughter!

Yeah, I meant that more tongue in cheek, but I agree.

And how can a grandma tell her granddaughter no?

What I’m most proud of is I didn’t lick a single thing. Not a spoon, not a beater, not a smidge of frosting from my fingers. That was always a must during clean up before. And I won’t be having a piece tomorrow either.

LeeAnn, that’s some awesome willpower you have there, not even a lick. Wow.

I don’t make stuff with real sugar in it anymore but when I make something like whipped cream for a treat, you better bet those beaters get a good lickin’. LOL!! I’d share with my wife if she wanted but she usually doesn’t want. :slight_smile: More for me! :smiley:

The hardest part about making non-keto food for others is not tasting it! Because how do you know you’ve got the right taste? Although, it probably wouldn’t matter at this point - it wouldn’t taste good anyway. I’d made a fruit tart at the holidays and tried it. I’d followed the directions perfectly, but it was sooooo sweet and gross. Everyone loved it! I do keep a picture of it as my work computer wallpaper because it looks so pretty.

Great Work!
Fun time
Love this :heart_eyes:
Nice

Made me think

I watch all the non KETO porn shows :joy::flushed:
Cupcake Wars, cake wars, wedding cake championships, etc etc…best chef, worst chef.

I find myself always wanting to bake for others I like to as well
Im a sugar drug pusher I guess. I admit it :weary:

For all the KETO haters in my life…even when I offer or try to make their food likings , I still get kick back. Lol

“ why you making that, you will not eat it”
“ I thought you can’t eat this treat“
GEtting all angry and up tight. Haha

Nope. I can eat anything I want. I choose not to eat this dessert. I do NOT feel deprived :laughing:

Hum🤔
I guess “you just can’t have/make your cake and eat it too”
So that’s where the saying came from
Lol!!!

Wat about the frosting???


(LeeAnn Brooks) #10

Is it a stiff frosting? You have to have stuff frosting to do decorating. Otherwise things don’t stay in place.

If so, I’d love to try it.

I was thinking a cream cheese frosting might be made to work for Keto and be stiff enough.

Interesting
Whats the ingredients in the cake mix?
Nutrition label info I guess

Buttercream with powdered erythritol should work for decorations, I think it could be stiff enough.

I love this cake! I want to make something like it for my daughter’s next birthday!
