I absolutely LOVE to bake cakeballs/cakepops. They are absolutely addicting... both to make AND eat! There are just so many possibilities, and I can't rest until I've tried them all. I blame them for the fact that I can't stick to a diet for longer than a week :)
I love to bake pies, lemon bars, and cookies of any kind. I like to eat pretty much any baked goods, but really enjoy cheesecake and chocolate cake with buttercream frosting (generally when other people make them...)!

I can't eat sugar or grains, so I have an interesting time trying to come up with alternative versions of treats to bake for myself. That being said, it's still a lot of fun to make cookies & quickbreads for family/friends/coworkers etc., even if I can't indulge in the results!
I love the eat and bake cupcakes and cookies. I don't like baking cakes as much as I like eating them though.
I absolutely love chocolate cake in all its forms. My favorite thing to bake, however, has always been chocolate-chip-and-whatever cookies. Mmm!
i like to make biscotti, and i like to eat cream puffs. thanks!
What is your favorite baked good or dessert to make? I love making cakes! I have different bundt pans that I make rich cakes in.
What is your favorite baked good or dessert to eat? I like to eat cookies. I love a good sugar cookie but I will also try anything with chocolate or nuts.

I LOVE to bake Chocolate Chip Cookies because I love to eat Chocolate Chip Cookies (or dough!)
I love to bake cheesecake, cookies, and cake.
I love to eat tiramisu and creme brule.
I love to make icebox cakes because I have no oven :p
And I love to eat chocolate chip cookies, brownies and basically anything chocolate :D

I like to eat creme brulee but it is daunting to make. I like to bake cookies.
My favorite thing to bake is cakes--so many flavors to create and combine with frosting and fillings. Then comes the smile on a person's face when she has tasted something delightful and/or surprising.
My favorite baked dessert will always be homemade apple pie, topped with freshly whipped cream.

Favorite dessert to eat: chocolate chip zucchini cake--but I don't like making it 'cause chopping up zucchini takes forever.
Favorite dessert to make: oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies.
I love to make cookies and top them with cutely deocrated buttercream frosting. What I really like to eat though is pavlova. I could eat a whole batch myself.
I love to bake cakes of all shapes and sizes. In a lot of ways, things I like to bake are the same as the things I like to eat. One exception, though, is pie. I've never quite conquered pie crust, so I rarely make pie myself. Fortunately, I have a couple of friends who are big pie-bakers, so I get to enjoy the fruits of their efforts -- lemon meringue, peach, rhubarb -- YUM.

Honestly, I will eat anything and everything baked out of the oven when it's made out of sugar, milk, and eggs. :) Viva la cupcake!
my favorite thing to make would have to be oreo truffles- just watching peoples faces as they eat them is a reward :) my favorite thing to eat would probably be cheese cake, or lemon meringue pie!
Favorite to bake: Any and all cookies because you get to eat the batter and then the cookies.
Favorite to eat: Cupcakes because I don't feel like such a gluten when I eat more then one. ;-D
I love to make sweets for my family! Usually chocolate or something with homemade buttercream. I am a bread girl. Love bread - make it and eat it. Love the apron. I work in a school and it would be a HUGE hit! Thanks.
What I like to bake and which sweets I like to eat are different. I love red velvet cake, but I never make it for myself. I prefer to go to a local boutique bakery and pick up some cupcakes. I love to bake cookies, because they are handy and quick to eat. Peanut butter, chocolate, choc. chip, snickerdoodles... you name it I make it :)
Make: chocolate chip cookies
Eat: chocolate pie
I like to bake chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes, I like to eat cupcakes. :) I don't like to eat things immediately after i bake them.
My favorite baked good is cupcakes of course! It brings back childhood memories. My first baking experience was when I was probably 5, helping mom stir the batter then adding raisins on top before it goes in the oven. It was our special raisin cupcake (probably more like a muffin) made from scratch. But my favorite dessert to eat is ice-cream sandwich (don't know how to make those).
i have been feeling very experimental lately, so my favorite to bake is whatever sounds yummy that i haven't tried before -- s'mores cupcakes, lemon curd, cake pops! on the other hand, my favorite to eat is (and will probably always be) chocolate or red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
I LOVE to bake (and decorate cakes) and while I enjoying eating them, brownies are my downfall. I will pick a moist, chewy, warm brownie hands down over any other sweet. YUM!
