We wouldn't eat that, but it look's delicious. It seems as if garlic was so popular a few years ago, and now it's bacon in everything!

No, thank you!

LOL! Two of my favorite things to eat.

We have a cupcake place in town that makes maple bacon cupcakes that are to die for - maple iced cupcakes with lots of bacon on top. Yum!

It should have peanut butter icing

This looks awesome!

I made Double chocolate bacon cookies during the holidays and they were a huge hit. It's a little salty with your sweet. Delish and so easy.

May have to try this if I'm going someplace with a crowd.

I don't understand the current fad of putting bacon in everything. It's known to be a very unhealthy food, and at a time we are all trying to lighten recipes, it simply makes no sense to ADD fatty, salty ingredients to perfectly good foods.

So, don't make the cake and don't eat it; no one is forcing you to, and it's not your job to tell people what they should or shouldn't eat - you're not the food police.
