What have you baked today?

Sounds like you need a tea party!Islandmaid wrote: »Had a 'doing day' today
Baked Lemon Drizzle cake, a seeded loaf, 20 buttermilk scones.
I also started 23 ltrs wine and used up some freezer burned berries and made 3 pots of jam - hence the scones
Out of interest, do you freeze your creations? Or give them away? I am known for my love of cake, but unless you have a large family or gathering to cater for, will your baking stay fresh until you are able to eat it?Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

It's a mixture of both, today's creations will be partly for us and partly for DH to 'feed' to his lads at work tomorrow.
Most cake freezes well, as long as it doesn't,t have a creamy topping.
DH and DS take a piece of cake to school/work everyday, as well as snacks, and I often give some to MIL, neighbors, friends - I am a bit of a feeder
The wine however is for personal use over the next - well, however long it lasts we both like a glass of an evening (just the one) so thought I,d give it a go. Note to self - STOP SPENDING MONEY !!

These are the 120 cupcakes I baked for my friends wedding yesterday. The flavours were all chocolate based (my friend is a true chocoholic)
- salted caramel
- cherry, with morello cherry jam in the middle topped with a chocolate dipped cherry & gold leaf
- chocolate orange with a orange jelly core
- Oreo topped with chocolate fudge
- chocolate with white chocolate chips
- a 6" chocolate fudge cake covered in a mirror glaze.

I've never been able to post pics on this forum and I tried very hard until I gave up, so no flashing from me
But my cakes are hardly lookers anyway :rotfl:, I would not win the bake-off on presentation :rotfl:First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win - Gandhi0 -

I appreciate your work from an artistic perspective, but chocolate just doesn't do it for me any more! I've made a couple of batches of HM nutty chocolate (which consists of chopping, roasting, melting and mixing) recently and given it away without even nibbling it.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

I completely understand, I'm a bit sick of chocolate now 'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good'0 -
Do you think its possible that when you have eaten X amount of chocolate over the course of a lifetime (X being in the order of tonnespurpledonkey wrote: »I completely understand, I'm a bit sick of chocolate now) a saturation point is reached? Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!
