I am a cookie monster.  Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Snickerdoodles and Pfeffernusse.

I like baking but I need more practice.

I love baking, couldn't cook a sausage before I got married, then I did cookery courses, now I do all the cooking and baking, hubby eats most of and brings my cup cakes into work to share with work his colleagues, I eat very little of it myself watching my waistline.

Baking is for Sheilas, Poofters and Sissies -

LOL Kirseten!  I know right?  Many many people think it's "a gril's thing..."  But look in any pro kitchen/bakery and you'll mostly see men.  Male pro chefs far outnumber female pro chefs.  It's closer on the baking side but there are still more male pro bakers vs. female ones.  I guess it's on the domestic side where that perception persists.  Totally silly and ridiculous...and ignorant me thinks.

Very true Briana,
                             I think the domestic front is where it is at. There is something strandely satisfying and blissfully primal about cooking stuff for family and then they eat it all and enjoy it!.

I agree with this above, all of those pictures looked so yummy !!

I enjoy baking cookies and bread, but just can't eat too much of what I bake ladies...

I bought a tin full of little chocolate chip cookies to the garden club meeting.  Everyone seems to be on a diet these days so they appreciate the smaller portions. They ate them all! 

I work in an all female office, so I am expected to bring in baked treats every now and then. I love to bake, but I also love to eat, and so does my wife, so there are mixed emotions every time I fire up our oven!

Not bragging but I make the best, Chocolate Chip Cookies by adding two ingredients. Cinnamon and Pecans. 

I love to bake cookies, cakes, breads and pastries....
....yesterday I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting.   YUMMY !!!

I love to bake things for you.

I am thinking that chocolate cupcakes will help you to recover from your recent surgery more quickly.

When I saw Danielle's baking pictures, I was reminded of this cartoon from "Peanuts":

Oh, my!  I love baking!

Today for homeless families we are housing at my Unitarian Universalist church I baked up Creme Brûlée French Toast. I started by making 4 loaves of challah bread last week, then assembled everything Saturday night and baked this morning.





I even baked dinner, a sort of cornbread-topped variant of shepherds pie.

Dear Michelle:
I loved seeing the pictures of all of your baked goods that you made for your church event over the last Easter weekend.   

It has not gone unnoticed by me that you have posted other pictures of your delectable homemade treats on your personal thread and other threads as well. 

The breads and cookies that you make and the pictures that you have posted always make me hungry... 
...I particularly liked your "twisty"  breads that you made with the different fillings in your previous baking pictures. 
I think that I am gaining weight by just looking at the photos!!!

Thank you for sharing and thank you for your outreach at your church for the needy and homeless.

Hugs and hugs,
Danielle

I'm kinda regretting starting this thread...all your pictures are making me hungry, and I'm trying to stick to my diet!

I love to bake and I bake often. I make cakes, cookies, bread,etc. I enjoy it even more now that I have a good mixer. My dad was a little shocked that I spent $600.00 on a mixer but now that he's enjoying the stuff I make with it he's over the shock. Lol

Just made some biscuits (cookies) called crunchies in the old book mum gave me.

Dear Davina:

I take it that they are short bread cookies perhaps....   
... a picture and/or more description would be appreciated.

Hugs,

I wish I had more patience for baking as I adore a nice gooey chocolate chip cookie or the peanut butter cookies my mom used to make.  I used to be a chef and I sorely miss the almond amaretto cheesecake that the restaurant had.  I find that baking is more of a science while cooking is more of an art.  I am a pretty decent cook, but have yet to establish myself as a decent baker. 

all gone!!!! recipe  is 2 oz lard, 2oz margarine, 3oz sugar, 1 tsp golden syrup, 3 tsp boiling water, few drops vanilla essence , 4oz self raising flour, 2oz rolled oats. cream fats and sugar add syrup boiling water and essence. stir in flour and oats, roll into balls (28) and place on greased backing sheet, 350 F for 15-20 mins. crunchie with soft middle.

Very similar to the recipe my late mother passed on to me! Mine never last long either...
