EZ - Stop reading the newspaper.

That is disgusting. I've always hated frosting and I'd scrape it off cake.

Yuck...I always scrape off most of the frosting off of cake and etc.. since I only need very little to satisfy me since often times it's so sweet or it's cheap frosting that's just disgusting. I cannot imagine the calories in those.

I have to admit, while I've never done an actual frosting shot, I have eaten frosting straight out of the tub with a spoon.

Would you put.down.that.paper!

Well, I'm only admiting this because you don't really have a clue who I am and will probably never meet me IRL, but old habit me would have gone for that BIG TIME. Probably would've done so many *shots* my driving would have been impared. Any time there was cake, I always held out for a piece with a big flower or something (as long as it was buttercreme or cream cheese. That whipped cream stuff was just a cheap imitation as far as I was concerned - I wanted the highest fat content I could possibly get ) and (TMI warning - pretty disgusting) when helping clean up, I would arrange to be alone in the kitchen so I could snatch bites of the frosting other people left on their plates Sooooo happy I'm over that!!!

Um, so, donut shops and bakeries are going to pick up the slack and take over for the fast food places that won't be allowed to open under the new moratorium?

I have to admit, that I would do a frosting shot. It looks delicious. Thank goodness there are no bakeries within 3 hours of here that would consider doing such things. Maybe one day, after goal, I'll go to the big city and have one...off to daydream now...

Yeah I'd definitely go for the real butter and buttercream frosting. Or even better, cream cheese frosting!

Ahem, I mean, uh, I've never eaten straight frosting. Nope. Despicable.

My frosting days are mostly behind me. But I had plenty of "enabler" friends in college who I know still eat straight frosting, because last month when we went to help a friend get ready for her wedding they asked me if they could "help" frost the cupcakes for the reception, took spoonfuls of frosting, and walked away. Thank goodness I had someone else who was really helping me! BTW they are size 0's and eat 100% junk food, all the time. They were blessed with better metabolisms than I. I emailed them the article, lol.

I think it depends...cheap frosting from a $2 can, or a grocery store bakery-NO way, but from a high end place like Babycakes, where she uses the best, fresh ingredients...I'd have to say that I'd try one.
