I love to bake cookies, brownies, and just about anything I haven't made before. I'll eat what I bake, but I'll also eat anything new that I haven't tried before...and then go find a recipie and try to make it myself!
I love to eat cupcakes!
As for baking it's usually something that's simple since I having been baking for long. So like sugar cookies, easy key lime pie, and chocolate cupcakes made with devil's food mix and pumpkin puree.
I'd make more cupcakes, but the frosting part is tricky and comes out running. Oh well, never hurts to keep trying and eating the mistakes^_~
My favorite baked good to make is CAKES..and pies too. And my favorite to eat..I'm diabetic but I love to taste test the cakes. So Cakes has it all for me.
Love your site by the way...I've added you on my link list.
I simply love making cakes and cupcakes, especially with ice-cream and crushed oreos! And I love them! Baked goods are definitely heaven on earth for me!

I bake cupcakes every chance I get. My husband loves them, but I love, love, love brownies. They are my weakness
I Love to eat cupcakes! But, I Love to make tarts, lemon especially bc that is my son's favorite!
I love to bake! I love to see people smile when they eat my treats. Mostly I bake cookies. I love to eat cookies too. Recently due to some health issues of my 5yr old I've started the adventure of gluten free baking. It's fun to learn and experiment with flours I would never have considered using before. I've had great success with banana bread and vanilla cake. Baker for life!
I actually don't eat a lot of baked goods...but I LOVE to bake. I love putting something raw and liquidy in the oven and 30 mins. later, something delicious and solid comes out. I love decorating the cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc. I like pretty things so being able to make the baked good pretty is something I love doing. When I bake, I always give those things away... I hardly ever keep some for myself--Maybe just a taste test!
I love chocolate flourless cake.
I like to bake and eat most things equally. Sometimes I ate what I am baking while I am baking it! I don't like white flour that much, but that's about it. Probably my favorite thing to bake is pretty cupcakes and my favorite thing to eat is brownies with lots of stuff in them.
My favorite things to eat are the things I'm motivated to make - for sure! True of cooking and baking! I love cookies and cakes with buttermilk and chocolate. Ymmmy!
My favorite baked goods to make are cupcakes and sugar cookies because I can make them look pretty/cute and they're pre-portioned for easy giving-away.
My favorite baked good to eat would probably be Chinese sweet rolls - the ones stuffed with custard or coconut cream or red bean past. I especially like glutinous rice balls.
I love making cookie dough ... I mean cookies the most. I like eating cheesecake but don't like baking them...
I love to make cookies, but I love to eat cake.
What I love to MAKE is something new every time. I don't get excited making the same cookies or cake as before. I always want to do something different, even if it doesn't always turn out well. What I love to EAT are white chocolate chip/Crasin cookies (my take on a Paula Deen recipe) The good news is I'm allergic to cranberries, so it really helps me limit myself, hehe.
My favourite thing to bake are cupcakes because you can individualize them to the eaters and it makes it so personal and says you care. I also like to eat cupcakes best-you can only eat one at a time so you never feel piggy and you get the best proportion of cake to icing with that size.
I like to bake bunt cakes and my favorite would be carrot cake with a good cream cheese frosting. The cake needs to be served at room temp. not cold. However, my daughter is the baker in the family. She is always trying new recipes and we are her tasters. I would love to win this apron for her. Her nickname (in the family) is Kakes (pronounced Cakes). Thanks for a chance to win.
I have such a huge chocoholic addiction. I enjoy baking with chocolate and eating chocolate cake, so my choice is.....Drum Roll Please..... The cake I adore is one of Nigella Lawson’s chocolate fudge cake - you know the one that serves 10 or 1 with a broken heart or like me, can't leave it alone *giggle*
Now you know my sins :0)
I do generally eat what I bake unless it's cherry or gooseberry pie for the family which I don't care for.
My favorite thing to eat is Candy Bar Pie. My now new favorite thing to make is Kolaches.
My birthday is July 6, so please pick me! I wear an apron when in the kitches.
I've also been looking all over for cupcake fabric. Any chance you know the company of this fabric?
My favorite baked good to bake is basically anything someone else really loves. For example, my father likes carrot cake. For his birthday I baked a carrot cake and he absolutely loved it. Knowing that I baked something he loved, made my day. My favorite baked good to eat is red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Yummy! I enjoy baking this one as well, but I love eating it more! Plus, I like to add some summer fruit, like strawberries, raspberries or peaches, on the side to create an incredible summer indulgence.
hmm, lately i love baking and eating brownie bites. but there are several things that I make but don't really like a lot of, like non-chocolate cakes. if it's chocolate, i'll prob eat it! :)
What is your favorite baked good or dessert to make?
I love to make scones, because I mix them with my fingers - the cold butter, the feeling just as they come together - awesome, the moment of creation. :)
What is your favorite baked good or dessert to eat?
A gooey chocolate chip cookie.
I like to make cream puffs...so easy and impressive.
I like to eat lemon merangue pie for it's cool textures, color and snappy taste
I'm not a huge sweets fan but I love to bake sweets. Go figure. I think I like the reaction I get from others when I give them sweet things.
