Okay, so I've been wasting time over the past few days reading back through the archives of Cakespy. But, can you blame me? I've been wanting to bake something for the longest time and I can't do that here. So I light my frosted brownie candle (poor thing has barely 2cm of actual wax left) and read recipes/reviews/look at pictures while eating a store-bought sugar cookie. (Yeah, you thought I was kidding about wanting to bake, didn't ya, mama?) Anyway, I just found a post from last year with a list of sweets everyone should try at least once in their life. And I decided to follow the directions. You should do the same.
(Note: I'm bolding my answers and leaving the original links becuase they offer important definitions and such. Also, anything denoted by * is something I added on to the end of the line and is not actually a part of the survey)
1) Copy this list into your site, including the instructions!
2)
Bold all of the sweets you've eaten--or make them a different
type color.
3)
Cross out any of them that you'd never ever eat.
4) Consider anything that is not bold or crossed out your "To Do" List.

By The Way: I've also been really in a writing mood. And this time I'm going to compile a bunch of future posts to just be released once a day. That way, if I get too distracted with final projects or drooling over recipes, you won't know! Ha! Peace Out!!!
