baking for bake sales

[2big4mysize]

okay anybody who belongs to any organization or has a kid who does knows how it goes they always want cookies or desserts for bake sales so since you are low carbing do you avoid temptation totally by saying NO or do you say yes and use other methods to insure no high carb sireens calling your name during the mixing cooking bagging and delivering of them do you use?

I buy a cake or hand over $5.00. Now that my girls are older they can do the baking before I get home from work

me I cook stuff I don't like and use a dust mask to cover my mouth so I din't even taste the batter of my fingers. I just baked and burned 144 snickerdoodle cookies for the church cause I hate thiose cookies.

Since I was raised with cookies go with milk not having milk to drink in the house when cooking stuff helps me too.





and yes I made new unburned ones for th4e sale and tossed the burnt ones.

I bake for fund-raisers. I don't buy, though. It's enough to donate something, IMO.

great idea cleo

even when you bake and mix thenm they belong to the organization so you got to pay for it if you eat it?

[cleochatra]

I don't buy it. I donate it for them to sell it. If you eat it, you pay for it in more ways than one! *lol*

[2big4mysize]

no cleo the inhalation queen, what do you do to keep from eating them as you make them?

I thought you were saying you didn't buy any as you baked then was your method of not eating any as you fixed them,

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I don't have any problems with temptation, to be honest. Not trying to be cavalier here, but I'm one of those folks who can sniff something and receive the same satisfaction as having had eaten it, but without the pejorative cephalic response.

I know that doesn't work for everyone. For someone who would be tempted to eat what was made, I would donate something store-bought or fresh from the bakery, and I'd take it immediately from the store to the person selling the item.

I usually do something that isn't easy to sample. If I were to bake cookies, muffins etc. it would be too tempting. I usually do a cake or pie. You can't exactly take a piece of either without it being missed. I don't like cake batter so this works for me.

I also don't have any issues with baking, I've baked cakes, cookies pies etc w/o issue so far. Though once in a while it can be hard not to lick icing off my fingers just out of habit.

Canned icing now smells horrific to me...
