I have to tell you guys about these creme filled bismarks sometime. I discovered a bakery that makes the absolutely best, unbelievable cream filled bismarks. I mean, I think they use like, are you listening SunshineMeg, they use cake frosting for the middle.

Oh. My. Gosh.

They are so rich, that my kids will eat one half way and then start looking like they're going to throw up. I don't care. I love them. Heck, they're probably why I gained twenty pounds in the first place.

But I'm thinking about going to that bakery...taking a picture and posting it to the sidebar of my blog so that it will be my treat for getting down to my goal weight.

Only eight more pounds to go.
