I got up this morning at 8 am with a mad craving to bake blueberry muffins.
It's not even the thought of eating warm blueberry muffins fresh from the oven that inspired me but the actual act of baking. It's a great release.

I haven't baked in years though (maybe two) and now I remember why! I've just been a total sow and eaten two muffins. They're fucking gorgeous though. I'll have to freeze the rest to stop me from eating them.

Any other bakers on here? What's your favourite thing to bake?

Yeah my nan taught me how to bake, in an effort to find me a husband. Lots of trad Irish stuff, soda bread etc. Im pretty good at it. I dont find it a release in any way, its a pain. Baking is not my thing, i much prefer cooking dinner.

Yeah I prefer baking to cooking. I get more enjoyment out of sweet things than real food so that's prob why. I've developed a reputation at work for being the one who bakes cakes... even if someone else brings brought them in

I normally bake a plain sponge cake with cream and strawberries, or sometimes plain buns with some icing or cream, or Banoffi Pie. I'll try any recipie once.

I do much cooking never baked but threatened so much and so many times to do it.

I like to bake, but prefer to cook. I'm much better at cooking.

have not baked in years.used to make cookies,caramel squares.used to love making fairy cakes and then ice them or put jam and coconut on the top.nothing like the smell of something baking in the oven,yum.

Haven't done any baking in ages but I used to bake bread, scones and tea bread. I was quite good! Well, nobody died anyway.

Like some people on here, I haven't baked in ages, but still occasionally cook.

I do it, but I cannot stick to the recipe: an old trick from my childhood to ensure no one else will want me to share with them.

I was a greedy child.

I love baking cheesecakes....proper new york cheesecakes that bake for two hours with proper cream cheese in them.

I have to bake a birthday cake at the end of the month for a one year old. I'm a bit nervous about that because I'm going to have to make it into a teddy bear or some other horrible shape.

In canada you can buy shaped cake tins (i.e. cars, teddy bears etc). Can you here?

I think you can, yes. I've seen them around.

my sister has bought a few in the local kitchen supplies shop - i'm guessing there must be loads of similar shops in dublin

I'm a master baker

That you know of

Sounds like Ichigo is gagging for some of my special, home made cookies...

You mean these ones?
