Dear Davina:  Thank you for starting this thread.   I do quite a bit of baking of not only cakes and cookies but also I bake various pastries as well.
I was not quite sure where to post this but after looking around I decided that your thread is the correct place.
       
This week I baked some Cream Puffs and once they cooled down after taking them from the oven, I filled them with Pastry Cream.    I will be bringing them to my Book Club meeting.... there are only about 6 to 9 attendees that will be there on any given meeting, so I have plenty extras to share with all of my friends and suitors.... and also for my clients that come to my office (I consider it to be Client Relations)....   

Again Davina, thank you for starting this thread.... I love to see what others bake....   
Hugs,
Danielle

Those look great Danielle, I'm sure they'll go down well at book club. [emoji39]

Dear Megan:   The Bookclub meeting is tonight but I brought some extras with me to my office today and I have had a steady stream of friends from the next door coffee shop coming in to sample them....  even the owner of the coffee shop and my barista suitor #5 came to get their share and to let me know that they liked them...

...I guess that the Cream Puffs are a hit.   
Anyway who doesn't like cream puffs???

Hugs,
Danielle

Made a date and walnut cake , no pic just imagine a brown oblong !!!! mixture looked a bit wet to me compared to previous mixes but its the best one so far.

I like carrot cake and many cakes served at weddings!

I have had a long time fondness of well made and COLD eclairs too.

I just moved house, and thought that it'd be really nice to have a fresh-baked cake ready to thanks my helpers (OK, they did all the heavy lifting!) and make the house smell nice.
Unsurprisingly, this was over-optimistic and I was carting stuff around until the moment they arrived. Still, I made a double chocolate loaf that evening, and have been working my way through it by myself for the last two days! Moving's tough, I deserve it, right?
They know nothing of this, and have requested a baked cheesecake in recompense for the help, which will be gladly provided. I keep getting compliments on it, which is nice, but all I do is follow a recipe, which I don't hide:

Cannot recommend that recipe highly enough.

I have yet to bake a cake. I'm so worried about my diet. I've had a can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in my freezer for over a month. I think I better bake them today, if they're still good?

Check the date on the package.  If after opening you find the dough to be dark or smelling bad, do not use it.  Otherwise, bake and do not forget the yummy icing!

The can said best by April 2018. I guess I had them in the freezer a little longer than I thought. I keep my freezer pretty cold. They looked and smelled fine and they came out great. I already had one and I'm not feeling funny yet .



I found a few recipes online for the super sticky gooey Cinnabons. I'm sure everyone has had one of those big handfuls of pure delight? I think I'll try my luck.

Tonight's dessert is ready!

SUPER STICKY

The key is in the taste but your cinnamon buns look good.  I am on a low carb diet so I have not enjoyed treats like this, or even any breads or pizzas for awhile.

It is amazing how long many foods often taste good and are safe to eat past the date on the product.  The dates can differ though, such as a BUY by this date, an eat or freeze by this date, an expiration date, a Best by this date, etc.

Freezing can extend the useful life of foods.

Eggs, properly refrigerated, seem to keep much longer than the date on the carton.

I wish I was knowing to cook and not to eat bad foods 

coffee walnut

Just created this for the birthday of a friends daughter. White chocolate was the only specification.

Looks great (if slightly phallic!!!)

Wow, I thought I had a dirty mind, but I'd not even thought of it like that,  lol.

cake I made for Abby last week when she left work, choc chip coated in choc with choc chip decoration. guitar and play list made today for Andy that does open mic as its his birthday today

I had a truly rotten cold for a couple of weeks, so decided I deserved cake.
First week, date and banana bread, mostly based on this.
Second week, spiced pumpkin loaf, largely based on this.
As they were made only for me, they were not made to look impressive*, so no pictures, but I felt some nice recipes deserved sharing!

Also, I felt it worth notifying everyone that if a cake is made in a loaf tin, it is totally fine to eat all by yourself** and not feel bad about it. That's just a rule***.


* I have no skill at decorating even when I do try. I envy the ability demonstrated in this thread!

** I mean, I took several days.

*** Not a roulade.
