Ugly Advice – Fitting into your Clothes

Make things you don’t like.   I know – it sounds counterintuitive, but hear me out.  This is a trick my mom taught me and it’s especially good if you’re making multiple desserts for a party.   For instance, I don’t really like orange in my desserts but a lot of people do.   So if that’s you – make something with orange in it.   Your guests will like it and you won’t be tempted to indulge.   Don’t worry that it won’t be good – first off, it’s ok to fail.  But more importantly, even if you make something that’s not really to your taste, you can usually tell if it’s a good quality.   And even if you can’t, if your friends are anything like mine, they will tell you.
