i'm going to call it "frosting haters of america".
there are plenty of other people who seem like they would be interested in joining, but i don't know any of them like i know you. i'll waive the club dues for the first year... how about it? come on...
this time of year is very difficult for a frosting-hater. not only are there just way too many frostings to avoid (the company kitchen is constantly overrun with holiday cakes, cookies and sweets of every variety), but there are also just too damn many people around... and they are all eager to irritate you. "what?!? you don't like frosting?!? why don't you try the frosting on this triple chocolate rum-filled berry encrusted holiday cake i just baked??!? i know you'll just looove this frosting! it has 8 pounds of butter and a 14 whole canes of sugar!!"
no, dammit! stop it! give me the cake. the cake i'll eat. but please don't be offended when i leave a pile of frosting on my plate. it's not you. it's me.
it's all just too damn sweet. especially that horrid crystalline sugar frosting that you find on wedding cakes. ugh. i get the shivers just thinking about the granules crunching between my teeth. gads. who thought up that crap? and frosting-flowers? you can have 'em. bleah.
the only frosting i ever liked was an inoffensive cream-cheese frosting that had pineapple floating in it. it was almost unrecognizably frosting.
