Where do you get these sf cake mixes and icing? I have made my own buttercream icing using NatureSweet, but I have never seen these sf boxed types.

Somewhere inside me, there is a fat girl just dying to get back out. I mostly just try to keep her subdued with sugar free pudding, but she's not amused.

x-posted RNY forum:
I had my first cake pop the other day. It was heaven. The hour of vomiting after, was hell.
So I decided - damn it! I want cake just once in a while - and I dont want to get sick. I just want a bite - A BITE!
Thus, I spent the day today and figured out a way to make cake pops that are tasty and a mere 6-8gr sugar each!
I blogged it - so you can see the steps here:

Topic: Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Chicken (Alice Springs Chicken)
Bacon...everything can be made better with an application of bacon. Well except chocolate cake of course. Here is my version of a type of Alice Spring Chicken.

Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Chicken
1 1/2 pounds chicken strips (approx 8-3oz strips)
1 Tablespoon Ranch dressing mix
8 slices turkey bacon
7 oz cheese, sliced (I used Asiago cheese)
Line baking pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Sprinkle ranch dressing on both sides of chicken strips. Wrap bacon, spiral method, around chicken strip and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and turn temperature to broil. Top each chicken/bacon strip with approx 3/4 oz of cheese. Return to oven for 1 minute until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
