Topic: Baking!

[Wrath of Zuruggu]

This is just about baking guys so if you want to talk about other food go make your own topic :[

Just because I've been inspired by Great British Bake Off...

So what's your favourite thing to bake/ the best thing you can bake? Cakes, pastries, breads, pies, etc.? I know there's a lot of us here who like to cook.

My favourite thing will always be my nana's fruit cake, full of big cherries and lots of desiccated coconut! It's quite an important one for me, too, because nana now lives with the worms and bacteria so she can't make it any more.

Bread, Cakes and Pizza Dough (well, the whole pizza, but only the dough is baking xD) are my main three, but it like baking cookies too ^^

I love doing massive 4+ Tier mocha cakes, decorated with flakes or whatever - it's really tasty 

(Also that took me embarrassingly long to work out what that last sentence meant - sorry to hear that =/)

[Superficial Mycosis]

I used to really enjoy baking cakes, coffee cakes especially, but now I can't eat them it's put something of a dampener on the whole thing and I've not made one in quite a while..
I've wanted to give apple nut bread a try for a while though so maybe I'll do that..  also gingerbread. Hmm.

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 The best thing I ever made was probably a bread and butter pudding in cooking class 


 ALLTHOUGH

 I want to make gingerbread men (or people) but mix some whiskey into them. I found the recipe somewhere and they looked really nice.

 I could make a family of little alcoholic gingerbread people

Made a top notch bread and butter pudding one time when I had to use up 20p bread from the reduced section at Tesco's. Was pretty fantastic tbh.

Love baking cupcakes and brownies, even though I'm really messy it's so much fun ^^;

Me and my Mum do cakes for family Birthdays because we can - they were delicious (but not scouts) - so I guess I will share them

This one is a white chocolate sponge - The decoration is a T because it was Tom's Birthday


This one is a caramel and chocolate sponge - the decoration is the album cover for Origin Of Symmetry, my Mum did this one for me as a surprise :-)


This one is Tom's 18th Birthday chocolate volcano. There are three types of sponge and marzipan, the outside is melted chocolate and there are orange aero balls and Cadbury's things that make up the volcanic rocks. We used sparkler candles so it looked like it was erupting and there's red and yellow icing sugar dribbling down the side like lava. This was so much fun to make (and eat)

i loveeeee baking <3
I bake every so often, usually to relieve stress or if I feel like crap lol. Nothing better than battering some biscuits to death  and then eating the end result after!

The last thing I made were these oreo cheesecake bites:

took absolute ages but they were v nice

also made this banana sponge with toffee and cream in the middle:


but yeah my favourite thing that other people make would be my mums homemade tablet or my grannys baking in general.

The last thing I made were these oreo cheesecake bites:

[The Shrub Dragon]

i love baking


although jana and i are terrible people who bake using the power of betty crocker every time we hang out


last time it was blueberry muffins w added marshmallow fluff

[SirBlaziken]

Holy crap Chloe. Those are amazing.

I like making cookies and this awesome banana bread when I have the stuff and the time to.

[That Girl in the 'Roo Suit]

My most recent baking endeavour were some gluten free double chocolate brownies <3

I also bake cookies pretty darn well. My preferred flavour is marshmallow and M&M, but double chocolate fudge always goes down nicely.

Cakes... I tend to just make whatever. My specialty is probably honey cake, although I did bake a rather nice lime cake with mango sourz buttercream icing once...

And also fresh strawberry & white chocolate blondies, because I can.

[Dragonpika]

Reading this topic makes me want to bake all the things - definitely making notes for things to try out!

I'm no great baker, what I make is normally tasty but looks a bit naff =P I make tasty mince pies though, I'm told, which is for the best since I make dozens every Christmas.. ^^;

I did produce this silly little fellow a few months ago, though, because everyone needs more cube-headed Dewgong cakes in their lives:



My housemate came home to find a scrawled sign on the fridge saying "Warning: Contains slightly deformed, very happy sea lion."

[SirBlaziken]

^That looks bloody amazing. Great job Kay!

[That Girl in the 'Roo Suit]

Kay, your cakes are amazing P: To the point where you actually taught me how to bake them! Silly goose~~~

Apple Crumble:


Cookiessss:


I'm not much of a decorator, but my food is pretty yummy =]

I'm awful at baking but anybody who wishes to donate their baked goods to me is very welcome to do so.
