My sister bought me a bunch of pastries for my birthday, and just left them in my refrigerator. Like seriously a problematic amount of pastries, that I had to schedule my days around. I work from home, and after a while, I just got used to deking into the fridge for a quick pastry. It was ridiculous, but also a lot of fun.

Anyway, when those pastries finally ended, man... the jonesing I felt when I realised I couldn't just reach for a pastry all of a sudden...

Sugar baby. You developed a sugar dependency.

Note that no actual sugar is required to develop a dependency, because flour, and almost all sources of carbohydrates are effectively sources of sugar.

Once for my birthday my aunt baked me not one but two cakes! She couldn't remember if I prefer chocolate or vanilla so she just made both. That was a week of indulgence I vividly remember, and my god at the end there I was so relieved those damn cakes were eaten omg XD

Chocolate can definitely be cloying after a while, I find. But a St. Honoré... foof, it's like eating a rich, refreshing cloud. I could have kept eating it every day.
