    Chocolate chip cookies, because that’s what my partner really loves:

    They love the cookies soft and chewy, so I bake them a little less and let them sit for a few minutes on the hot pan so they are the perfect texture and temperature.

    Pink cupcakes with green frosting. The color scheme began when we made strawberry cupcakes and our toddler asked to make the frosting green “like a leaf” so the whole cupcake looked like a strawberry. Now regardless of the flavors, he always wants those colors. I think it’s great 🤣

    Generally speaking in our house my husband does the baking and I do more of the fancy cooking. It makes sense as he’s an analyst and I’m a lot more free form haha. That being said, since we got a bread machine I’ve been making bread more, it’s just too easy and comes out so good.

    If I had to bake something right now though, I’d make a rhubarb crisp. Especially as that’s literally something I’m doing today since we have so much rhubarb! Hmm, maybe rhubarb and blueberry…

      I’ve toyed with a bread machine but I think I can’t be trusted, I’ll just end up eating bread all day. Home baked bread is just too good!

        That’s how we feel about those countertop deep fryers/air fryers. No good can come of that. As for the bread machine, we just make regular sandwich bread mostly. And the best part of it is that it’s a really nice (expensive!) Japanese one, and I got it at the thrift store for 8 bucks!

    My top three faves are sourdough bread, layer cake, and macarons. Depends on how much time I have and who I’m trying to impress. I’ve finally gotten decent at bread. I can make a cake that tastes great but can’t decorate better than a 6 year old. I’m surprisingly good at making macarons.

    Banana bread if I have ripe bananas! It is easy, delicious, and makes the house smell wonderful.

    Does pizza count? I’m going to start a new batch of dough today for dinner tomorrow.

    Apple pie! My favourite recipe uses lard, of all things. Really delicious and it works as long as there are no vegetarians. ☺️

    Chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies. People love them. They look cool because they’re a crinkle cookie. They’re ready. They have a fun story about how I fond the recipe. Perfect cookie to give to people. If they don’t get eaten in a day, they stay soft for at least two days instead of hard rocks like a lot of cookies.

    I tend to avoid baking and im being quite hard on myself in regards to a diet atm so not really keen on eating carbs and sugar…

    When I do bake its normally a victoria sponge, i’ve made a few and not messed them up too badly so far.
