I did make my strawberry tart yesterday. And cinnamon roll for breakfast at our friends. Calories be damned, obviously. Sorry, the tart picture won't upload for some unknown reason.

They look sensational!

I'd have a hard time with that. I am notorious for licking batter bowls, tasting my creations, etc. I find that I have to chew a piece of gum whenever I'm in the kitchen so I'm not constantly sticking food in my mouth.

Chewing a piece of gum is definitely helping me even when I'm meal prepping. It's a great hack!

I try to bake for events only. That way I don't have any leftovers to eat. If I have to experiment, I send it to my husband's job or give it to the tech guys at my job. They really appreciate it, even when I am not pleased with the final product.

I can bake bread, cookies and layer cakes fairly well -- what eludes me is making a smooth pound cake(my favorite kind -- I hate frosting!) with no fat streaks, so I experimented a week ago . Big mistake. The first practice cake -- a key lime cake that still had the streak, but tasted perfectly delicious otherwise -- I almost ate single-handedly. That's when I learned to pass it on rather than let it pass my lips.
