I Don't Like Cake
I've felt this way for some time, but I've finally decided to admit it. I showed signs of cake-hate at an early age. I would ask my mom to make me banana bread or a chocolate chip cookie cake for my childhood birthday parties. I don't remember a single birthday where I requested traditional cake.
I realized today that my dislike of cake has probably spared me a significant number of office calories. After all, we celebrate most things around here — birthdays, anniversaries, going-aways — with cake. Usually the standard kind — chocolate or white with lots of fluffy frosting. Ew. Not tempting.
Now a good chocolate chip cookie or a brownie — THAT is a temptation. Fortunately, American offices are obsessed with cake. And not to brag, but I'm not too keen on ice cream either. Don't worry. Christmas cookies are around the corner, and I'm sure their presence will push me to the brink. In the meantime, I can have my cake and (not) eat it, too.

This is why we're friends. :) I don't like cake either, and never have. I didn't really grow up with bday cakes (well substituted with Brasilian desserts or cheesecake!) either, so kudos to your non-cake eating lifestyle!

i'm a pie girl, myself...
btw, loved your post on the P&P article.

Matt doesn't like cake either. I wonder if Sarah and Bekah do.
I don't! That's why mom and I invtented the Hadley Ice Cream Cake! Everyone got those things for years! Although... I think you may have been at school suzanne.
Oh and I remember the chocolate chip cookie cakes! They never turned out right. =)
I also, am not a fan of the cake. I much prefer pie. :)
I love cake. the whole time I read your post, all i could think about was how good that cake in the picture looks.
I am right there with you. My mom always got an ice cream cake for me or cheese cake....oh and a brunette; It would look good but don't go to dark. Like a nice, rich, golden brown. Katie will steer you well :) but yeah, it would be a nice change for you.
Stef! Too funny. :)
