Have you tried baking some cupcakes or cookies?

I love baking, or rather, I love the finished product! So right now I often tend to lean towards Betty Crocker as my guide, rather than recipes... I think the trick to choc-chip cookies is to leave the dough in the fridge for an hour, I hardly ever do this because I just can't wiat to eat them, but it makes them really light and fluffy. If your cookies tend to be dry, add like half a bottle of golden syrup. This is especcially nice in plain oatmeal cookies. It makes them REALLY chewy and yummy!!!

I bake all the time, just the other day for Valentines Day, I baked my husband's favorite strawberry cake, there's still some in the fridge..lol. I like baking cookies, usually for Christmas I'll bake batches of cookies for friends and family and give them out on Christmas Day. I like baking bread, casseroles you name it. Its not hard, cupcakes are fairly easy, and fast to bake. On the recipes you have to make sure you measure everything correctly, and do exactly as it says, if you don't, it usually won't turn out right, I've done that too...haha.

I'd like to bake but i don't know how.. that's why i have this thought of enrolling myself to a culinary school/baking school and learn the techniques.. hope time and budget permits me to do so.. =)

Lol, that's funny, that's just not really "in" today is it? I don't mind baking, and I guess I'm not too bad at it, but It's certainly not my favorite thing to do. I prefer other hobbies! Like crochet and jewelry making. Oh, I still bake sometimes, but it's usually because the family's gotta eat lol! Now my sister, that's a different story! She has even been taking cake decorating classes! Yummmmmm.

My friends and i always bake! One of my favorite things to do with my friend Becky and make huge ornate cakes. When she was still in high school her father left for one weekend and instead of "partying" or anything like that we just made a three tiered chocolate cake covered in blue and orange marble fondant with chocolate piping. I also really enjoy making banana bread with my boyfriend.

I like bake but I very lazy..

I bake all the time, specially when its cold outside. Right now its winter, perfect baking weather, its nice to have the oven on and the house smelling good. My grandson is a cookie monster so I try to keep him supplied with fresh cookies. I recently made some homemade coffee cake muffins and regular coffee cake. I think baking is easy, but then I have had lots of practice.

I started baking when I was three. I love to bake but since it's just me I don't do as much as I used to. Start with something simple, like a brownie mix that has all the ingredients. Then progress to boxed cake mixes. When your really comfortable, find some recipe books that are aimed for kids (they have the really easy recipes.) Soon, after tackling the easy stuff you'll find yourself baking up a storm. I remember when I was 12 I decided to bake yeast bread. Mom didn't want to discourage me, but as she later said yeast bread was very difficult and her first loaves went out into some pot holes in their dirt road on the farm. She was really shook when my first two loaves turned out perfectly! Some people were never meant to be bakers. You may have talents in areas that people who bake can't do. The best thing to do is start out simple and work your way up.

I haven't took time out to really bake lately. When I did I could do some awesome peanut butter cookies. They would melt in your mouth. I always had trouble with chocolate chips cookies. Either I would put to much of this or not enough that in them. It was a mess. Why the kids are out for spring break I might try chocolate chips again.

I took a summer cooking camp for one week once a few years back and did actually learn how to bake cookies and cupcakes and simple stuff like that. I'm not sure if I can actually make them anymore, due to lack of practice, but I think it's nice to know how to make those things. It comes in handy if you ever need to whip up something quick for a party or something. And it's pretty funny how baking could actually be considered an "in" thing to know, I never really thought about it that way.

I love to bake cookies,I make peanut butter cookies and sometimes oatmeal cookies. I love to bake in the winter months.

wellbaking is not only a hobby for me it also help me to earn money during my college days. i bake cookies, brownies macaroons and cakes. especially christmas. it help me a lot to cover some of my expenses. but after college i haven't bake anymore bec of customer propect wc i dont have anymore. how i wish i could do that again especially now that im working abroad i want to have a sideline where i can earn extra income to help my family. lastly it's nice to feel that you're doing something where ur good at and earning at the same time.

i love bakeing tho am not with out my mistakes, but you just have to keep trying if you love it, it can a joy to all the family and your self. i would try diffrent recipes to see what you like an try diffrent ways of cooking.

I bake on ocasion, I prefer cooking because it is not an exact science like baking is. my favorite is a peanutbutter cookie that mom taught us to make when we were very young. I do try to always make my husband his favorite cake for his birthday, and for Thanksgiving and Christmas I bake pies and cookies. It is not something I have ever really thought about, I just do it to give the women in my family a break (they have kids and I don't)The only tip I have is to try cookies and keep an eye on them. better cookie dough then burnt.

I love to bake, especially in cold weather. My son has been after me to bake some cookies, I told him I would not be baking anything for awhile, his dad and I are eating healthy and I can't have baked goods laying around lol. I told him I would buy him some. I never went to college, that is a nice hobby to have in order to be with the in crowd. When you tried this baking, are you sure you used the right flour? The reason I ask is because when I first married I couldn't even boil water without scorching it much less know that there were different kinds of flours like all purpose and self-rising and what their actual purpose was.

After more than 30 years of cooking I've done a TON of baking. I usually bake once a week or so. Last week I did a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and a loaf of banana bread. Its about time to make some more banana bread.

Hi, bubblyapple. I have baked some cookies, cupcakes and cakes. There was even a time when I did not have a job and I made a business out of my baking. I gained some fans because of that LOL! and I am often asked if I still bake. I do not anymore, because it is a lot of hard work. I am pretty selfish of my recipes so I work alone, with no one helping me in the kitchen. Serves me right, huh? Have a nice day!

even me before, they say i was wasting money but thank God now i don't waste, but a source of income. of course there are still times when i fail but i recycle it immediately ha ha ha

just keep doing it! there's nothing to lose but don't burn it so you can still eat what you cook/bake. i do bake

Yes, I've baked cakes, cookies, brownies, muffins, and bread. Baking for me tends to be iffy because you can't just have, say, flour to taste. It has to be exact and I tend to be off a bit. If it's not the time, it's the ingredients(too much, too little, bla). When I am good, I am VERY GOOD, but when I'm bad, the results are hardly edible. I have better luck with just cooking.
