I love baking,it is far easier than cooking if you are good at following instructions.
You can be as creative as you desire with flavours but the basics stay the same.
I don't really like cake or sweet things,I much prefer a cheeseboard. |

My cakes don't tend to last longer than a few hours, a day on the outside. It's quite puzzling. I take it out of the oven, finish with a flourish, I have a slice, the wife has a slice, even the child has a slice. Go back into the kitchen later and Poof it's gone... |

That is good you will be and yes. I will have a go at baking a cake one day too, it is fun to lick the spoon as well as you have been stirring it around  x |

I am a prolific cake maker , purely for family, friends and friends of friends. Find my loaf cakes to be the most popular closely followed by Cherry Bakewells.
New request this week is for Eccles cakes which will be a challenge, especially making the puff pastry. |

I am dire at baking. Even Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals takes me 45 minutes and do not look the same in his book  |

I only dabble occasionally. Sponge cakes are easiest, fruit cakes and pastries bit more involved. Have a go at a Victoria sponge, simple either as a full size sandwich or little fairy cakes. A common and easy embellishment is to cut a shallow cone out of the top, about 1/3 in from the edge, dollop of whipped cream in the crater, slice the cut-out portion in two, then embed halves into the cream so they stick out as wings. |

I love baking and I wish I had more time to do it.
Everyone in my family has a home made cake on their birthday and people have asked me to bake for them and usually I will make Christmas cake as gifts for people. Always goes down well

"Never tried baking a cake before because I know I can't eat it all by myself. Cookies and brownies are more my thing to bake 
I've got good at brownies too.. and blondies are a new thing to me. "
Never tried making Blondies before, will have to give that a go next |

I usually follow a Jane's patisserie recipe. |

Follow the recipe and you'll be fine
I am a good Baker, helps keep the belly flabby
I think people over mix or handle things too often WHEN COOKING (you perverts)
Although to be fair probably sexually too. |

Yes I'm pretty good at baking, make lots of normal cakes but all gluten free.
I have done decorating courses before so I'm pretty good at adding the finishing touch to them too. God I want some now  |

I am a better cook than baker but do bake a few. Usually biscuits, carrot cake, Xmas cake, fruit loaf, brownies etc. I also make a nice trifle, tiramisu, doughnuts and profiteroles. Not very good with the highly decorated cakes though as although I could possibly do it, I don't have the time and patience required for that. I also like freshly baked bread and do that quite often. |

not bad at decorating them either! I only started during lockdown and have made quite a few which have generated a lot more on order so I must be doing it right
