I love to bake almost everything and then eat it. My favorites to eat are cranberry pecan oatmeal cookies and lemon bars. Yummy. Ooooh! And I just tried adding fresh blueberries to the lemon bars. Wowzers!
I love making shortcakes, any type...strawberry, blackberry, etc. And eating, if it's a baked good I'm pretty sure I'll eat it, I love bread pudding though.
My favorite baked good to make is a really complex and flavorful layer cake. I like the challenge and the beauty of the result.

wow.. that apron is great! I just made a few aprons, but can never find "food material"...
anyway - I love to bake (& decorate!) cakes... I also love to eat cake, but most sweets will do the trick, especially brownies!
My favorite dessert to make (right now) would have to be pavlova. It's such a great dessert for so little effort, even if it's a lot of time.
My favorite dessert to eat is probably whatever I'm in the mood for. Cheesecake, ice cream, creme brulee, cobblers...so many desserts, so little time!
I LOVE baking cakes/cupcakes. My favorite baked good to eat is always changing. Right now it's blondies made with dried cherries and walnuts. YUM!
My favorite dessert to make is pie! Something about getting my hands in there and forming together a home-made crust is really therapeutic!
But my hands-down favorite dessert to EAT is cupcakes! They're like muffins that are going to prom- just a little bit sweeter and more dressed up. Cupcakes make any occasion seem like more fun!
I love to make cupcakes, something about small mini cakes is so fun and rewarding to me! But I just love to eat cookies (especially chocolate chip!)
What is your favorite baked good or dessert to make? Cupcakes all the way. There are so many wonderful variations!
What is your favorite baked good or dessert to eat? Also, Cupcakes. :D
I think my favorite thing to bake is a good batch of snickerdoodles!
My favorite baked good to eat would have to be these sugar cookies my mom makes at Christmas and frosts with a simple confectioner's sugar and water recipe. They just melt in your mouth!
My favorite dessert to make is the one my family loves most: A Chocolate Trifle!
brownies, chocolate pudding, whipped cream and heath bar! YUM!
I like to bake cupcakes and I like to eat cupcakes! But I bake chocolate a lot because that's what my friends and family like, but I usually prefer vanilla!
Sues
Favorite thing to make--cookies, specifically choc chip cookies, favorite thing to eat--cookies, specifically choc chip cookies! ;) I'm also loving trying all kinds of concoctions with my new ice cream makers!
I love making layer cakes with elaborate frosting, but am more of a deep, rich chocolate dessert and mousse girl. Stix225@aol.com
My favorite treat to eat: Homemade "Heath" bars. I create a simple crust from gingersnaps, add toffee, chopped pecans, and drizzle chocolate over the top, then stick it in the freezer. My favorite treat to bake: Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. There is something so wonderful about that rich red color next to snow-white frosting- it appeals to my inner artist.
I love baking crowd pleasers: brownies, cookies, big gooey cakes. While I like those well enough, sometimes they can be too sweet for me. I'm half Asian and grew up eating Asian desserts which tend to be a lot less sweet than American desserts. But I'm equal opportunity because all desserts are yummy! :)
