I Decided To Bake At The Strange Time Of 8.30PM. Do You Ever Do This?

The funny thing is that I never got the urge to bake anything. Especially at 8:30 at night. I have had the urge to eat something baked at night. LOL. After I eat dinner, I can never think about food. For some reason the thought of it makes me feel queasy. My girl friend on the other hand has no problem baking something small like muffins at 9 or 10 at night.

I once baked at 03:30AM , there wasn't any specific reason for that its because I don't sleep during the night I mean I usually am sleeping in the presence of daylight so I have don a lot of cooking and baking after midnight and before day light appears but I do wake up during the day on Sundays so its not like I missing out Vitamin D or anything like that. I am actually not much of a cook but you see I'm the only one awake when I am so I have to do that myself. I usually make chocolate cup cakes but I live in India so there are not a lot of traditional recipes that require a lot of baking my ancestors preferred tandoors its not anything like baking but it heats evenly and more importantly gives a nice crisp to whatever you might be cooking and if anything is cooked in a tandoor then its called tandoori for instance tandoori kebab or tandoori roti/bread/naan ..you might've heard of it

Janey, have you ever heard of cornmeal pancakes? They are really good with syrup and butter! Not too many people have ever eaten any, but my grandparents used to make them quite often!

I used to do that when I was young. My husband was away from home at least once a week and I stayed up listening to music, reading or making cakes and other stuff that I ate in quantities and I did not gain an ounce.

It still fine to bake at that time. I used to bake a chocolate cake at night but there were few times when I still awake and baked after 12 at night. When my mom asked why, I just said that that time everyone is sleep so no one will disturb me or get in or out of the kitchen. The kitchen is small so it will be a problem for me to do it and having a few people there at the same time...(^^)

I guess You did it whether having a sudden impulse or relieving a dull evening -John went out playing snooker,or being watching a online cooking show about oat biscuits.8.30pm,I am usually getting on the internet.

Baking at 8:30pm isn't strange...Bread Bakers are up in what I'd consider the middle of the night to have fresh breads ready for morning..There's a Chocolate Mug cake recipe online that you can mix up and bake in a microwave in about 10 minutes ..So,that's chocolate cake available ANYTIME you want it

At 8.30pm I'm normally still cooking, or have just finished cooking, and the last thing I feel like doing is MORE cooking! Saying that, what's wrong with cooking in the middle of the night if you fancy it? there's not a set time for doing the things you fancy, and a nice oat biscuit to head off to bed with later sounds divine. Mmmmmmm .....

The only time I’ve baked at an unusual hour has been when I forgot to provide cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday and had to madly rush around the kitchen attempting to put something edible together for the children! I am not great in the kitchen and, because any type of cooking is not my forte` I only bake when I need to or during the school holidays as a fun activity with my daughter (fun for her not so much for me, lol!) Good on you for doing what you fancy and making delicious oat biscuits! I believe that you should follow your instincts and do what you love to do whenever you can so I’m with you, who cares what time it is as long as you enjoy what you are doing. I can almost smell those biscuits all the way from here! Yum…

ohhhh can i sleep there? i do this too sometimes, there was a time we made spaghetti around 11 in the eve!

Yeah I have baked at late hours. I did this last night. Last night I didn't get to the store until around 5:30-6:00 pm to get the items for supper. Then when I got home around seven I started making dinner. I had to make chicken,salad and baked a pudding cake. All that took about two hours. So we had a late dinner and supper. The reason for that it because we recently started having quality time together on monday evenings after my daughter lays down for bed. It was all very good and tasty.

I haven't baked anything yet in my life but in the future I would love to be able to know how to bake. I remember when one night I decided to make myself a cup of coffee. My mom was really weirded out at me. I was just really craving for coffee that night.

Every once in a while, it'll be about 2 am and I'll really want some cookies. I make cookies all the time late at night and sometimes even crepes. This is normal.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with baking at 8:30 at night, I've baked brownies at 1:00AM! A craving is a craving, and there is nothing wrong with wanting biscuits at 8:30!

A friend was staying with me. She could not sleep. She was baking at 3am.

8:30's nothing LOL I been baking at 2am in the morning quite a number of times! Bread! Cookies! Pies! Cakes! Yummy. For the longest time I was nocturnal. Sleeping in the daytime and baking in the nighttime. Thankfully I stopped that and forced myself to go to bed at 10pm so I can wake up btwn 7 and 8 in the morning. It was draining me. I don't want to get back to that routine again.

Hi, Janey, you did a good job! I bet that your husband was delighted. As I'm concerned, I live with my daughter, I work a lot and I don't spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Your story seems so yummy that I suddenly had a desire to bake something. I have no problems to do it in the evening, 8.30pm is a good time. But to bake at 8.30am? Never! Good night!

There has been a few times in my life when I will get up and bake in the middle of the night when I am unable to sleep. It's something I enjoy doing and can do easily. Usually when the mood strikes in the middle of the night, I bake whatever looks good, but also whatever is readily available.
