As a figure competitor, I am strictly limited to sugar intake during competition season...meaning, I don't get to eat any of my favorite sweets for months at a time. I recently competed in what I will call my final show - until I am at the age I will compete in the masters division. Typically, the day before a competition, you are allowed something really dense and sweet (carbing up), my trainer prefers cheesecake. Well, obviously being a baker, I had a ton of left over truffles from a large order I just fulfilled and took them with me to my competition. These leftovers included Strawberry, Cream Cheese Brownie, Carrot Cake, Peanut Butter & Chocolate and Red Velvet. Yes - I took 12 of those delicious treats with me on a 2 day trip - with the intention of sharing, of course!! Ya right!
The morning of my show, I ate 3 cake balls. Throughout the day, I probably consumed 3 more and 1 more before hitting the stage. The next day - yep - I ate 2-3 more! Holy moly - Sugar overload...as much as I love these things, I just don't think I can eat another one for at least another week. *wink*
For those curious people out there - I did end up winning my class and got 2nd in overall!! Guess all those cakeballs were well deserved!!
