Hi, the recipes/pics  look too good to be true!
 But i plan on giving them a try. :) I do have the bakery book
But because I'm a "newbie" it seems to be a bit hard to figure
Out the carb grams per item or the entire recipe!  When ppl post
These great recipes . Even though I'm feeling craving
Free :)  I also want to enjoy my sweets. :p

Wow, glad I found this recipe! I have got to make this. Can it be frozen? If it can, I'd like to freeze portions for snacks.

I think it can frozen without the frosting. Maybe I can make cupcakes instead. Ordered the FAT TO SKINNY ZERO sweetener today, so when I get, I'll be ready.

Great! I want to freeze either slices or cupcakes when I make it, haven't decided which.

My favorite is the cupcakes.....maybe because the outside forms kind of a crust and keeps the inside a bit moist where the slices dry out a little.  Does that make any sense?
