Baking

[Night Fury]

Recently I've had a bit of a sad because I realised I haven't baked in absolutely bloody ages! Goddamn life for getting in my way! I need to remedy this soon - so I may have a bit of a baking blitz next week!

Does anyone else on here enjoy baking? I love it, as my Mum, her Mum and her Mum were all cooks at local bakeries at one point in their lives, and also worked the school kitchens before they got all... trout (back when school dinners were made properly and not cooked from frozen! ) I kind of consider myself a bit of a fourth generation baker ^.^

I used to take my Gran to this class down at her Church hall called "Bread and Shred" in which (I trout you not) they'd bake cakes, bread and scones, and then shred any documents they had . What can I say, the little old ladies of the village would take up any excuse to get together. I think really it was just the baking class but they wanted it to have an angle or something, and at that time fraud from post theft was kind of a big thing. I digress....

My favourite things to bake are cupcakes for sure! I make really, really great cupcakes! I think my favourite are Lemon and Poppyseed because they're so light and airy and yet so yummy! And I love that speckled look inside of them.

I make a delightful carrot cake, and my Gran recently introduced me to Courgette and Walnut cake which is actually smurfing gorgeous!

I love baking! Who else bakes? What are your favourite things to bake?

I do! I love baking! Had I not went back to university I would have applied for pastry school~

Cake. I love cake. I make a mean Spiced Pumpkin and Maple Cream Cheese Frosting with Roasted Pecans cake.

Once I made Pink Peppercorn Pavlovas with Basil Syrup and Strawberries. WAS smurfING DELICIOUS with the whipped cream and strawberry coulis as well.

I love Apple Crisp as well.

I'd love to bake more, but, as has been tread before in a previous food thread, I'm woefully under equipped. I don't even have measuring cups It's a wonder I can bake my delicious oreo brownies.

I love baking and I have been doing it since I was 5ish~ .

It also seems to run in my family as every woman in my family except my aunt and including myself has won competitions with our baking.

I love love love baking. Cookies, cupcakes, cakes and brownies are the things I've made most often, but I need to get a little more creative and venture outside the box more with pastries and other sweets.

I enjoy baking, yes. I baked a cat litter cake this one time.

Wat.

Baking is so much fun. The best part is secretly eating the way dough or batter in the bowl that's left over after putting the cake/cookies/brownies in the oven.

Oh, man, I love bacon.

[Aulayna]

I rarely bake.

I keep buying supplies but then never actually getting around to the baking. >_>

I do make a nice banana and pecan loaf though.

The litter crust is crumbled cookies, and the poop is melted tootsie rolls.
