I love baking. :} Birthday cakes! Those are favorite to bake. Decorating is the best part. They can get real expensive too. I think the most I ever spent was 300$ 5 layers of clown perfection.
Can I be honest with something? That cake did come out as perfect as I wanted it to. :( I'm making it again. Next time it will BIGGER and BETTER then before. :D I don't care how much it cost. This cake will be like Mt. Everest!
I like Also to bake, cookies, cupcakes, pies, chicken, pork, beef, fish, and potatoes. :}
Ah, you should do it. I haven't been here long but it's obvious you have a passion. If you're not interested in competition, make people enjoy your stuff.
Baking is complex sometimes. It is super frustrating when it goes wrong. >:( Like when you buy new bake-ware, the last thing I'm thinking about is the temperature reacting differently to the alloy. Then it comes out burnt at the bottom or uncooked in the middle! To top it all off I can be a perfectionist sometimes.
Blah! Honourable mention is the best I've had. Which is kind of like joint second place or something. I made a baked cheesecake and was determined to win so I took all kinds of risks and made something that had about a million different ways of going wrong.
I went for an alcoholic cheesecake with swirls of Bailey's Irish Cream and Framboise raspberry liqueur. I was going for an old-school raspberry ripple effect to kind of be jolly and I thought I'd get bonus points because of the technical difficulties of not only baking cream and alcohol but of keeping the ripple effect stable throughout the baking process.
If I made ten of them, I think nine would fail. I really thought I was going to win. But the same person wins every year. It's a bit of a stitch-up. :/
It would have been awesome if you had won first place with a confection like that. Participating in a baking competition seems like a lot of fun. I would like to try my hand at it at least once.
I love cooking and baking, but my baking capabilities are rather limited to simple cakes, but always like making them weird colours like red cake with blue icing etc

SayCheese? Is this your poll?
And bread.
Mostly Guglhupf's though...i think marble cake.
Oh, whoops, in the kitchen.
No, I do that in the kitchen to.
I also enjoy making cupcakes. I get a bunch of cake batter and go to town.
They are usually eaten by the time the next batch leaves the oven.
Are you much into the decorating?
I could of gone around doing competitions here at the college I go to but I chose not to. I was just too much of a whimp to try it out.
I'll happily sample anything of yours!
Thanks though!

If you enter again, you have my blessing. :D
But I guess it's more 50/50 between the two.
What is your favorite thing to cook then?
How about yourself?
But I guess soups and casseroles... I just create them as I go; no need for a book.
What kinds of ingredients go into your soups and casseroles?
I like making casseroles with beef the most though, like taco or whatever.
