I like baking very much. I have been doing it for a long time but unfortunately ever since I uprooted myself in this new place I have left all my utensil at my other house and can't do any baking anymore except for steam cakes which are equally good. Fruit cakes is one of my favourite cake to bake but I prefer the steam fruit cake which is more moist and delicious. Normally fruit cakes are quite lasting when you pour some liqu0r to it. Fruitcake matures with time. The longer it is kept the better it taste.

Hi Bignik, sad to hear that you never bake any fruit cake before. Sorry, l don't have any recipe book with me now, but l can give you suggestion. l ever tried online fruit cake recipe and it really nice, too. You just need to type 'fruit cake' in yahoo search, then you can choose which one you like. Hope it helps you..

I am very interested in cooking. I was used to bake cakes in the past because it was easy. Nowadays I don't bake the cakes so often since I like bake the pizza much more. I also hope to bake the bread successfully but it is very difficult. Baking the bread is a really challenge.

I had tried to bake many types of pastries. Indeed, baking cake is much easier than baking bread. I am not succeed in baking bread until now. Usually, i just bake cookies and cakes. But, i will try to learn from the expert one day, to succeed in baking the bread. It had been quite long i haven't bake any pizza. Do you have any easy to bake pizza?

Hello myfb. I don't know how to bake cakes though I have got a oven from my best friend who left it with me when she left for her own country. This friend of mine loves cooking and used to bake cakes for us friends to eat. I love and still miss those cakes with some chocolates on them. They taste so good.

Thanks for willing to dropped-by and have a taste of our fruit cake discussions here. Well, i do agreed that baking cake is not an easy task to do, if you are unable to understand its basic step. So, to be able to bake a tasty cake, you will need time and knowledge, so try your best when you have the time, as i am sure you will be enjoying the baking experience of your own first cake.

Well, you're right baking fruit cake is not an easy job as compare to baking butter cake. Anyway, after a few times of trials and tests, i am able to make a nice to eat fruit cake, which can also make a person drunk, if they consume too much of it.

I love baking cakes. Apple cinnamon cake is one of my favorite. I haver never tried fruit cakes. I know that for good fruit cakes, the fruit must be soaked in brandy for about 1 month. You can do that during the holoday season of Christmas. YOU CAN TRY OUT THE SIMPLE RECIPE AT: http://www.joyofbaking.com/FruitCake.html

I have always loved baking my own cakes. Somehow I ended up being the family's baker lol. I made my daughters wedding cakes, and those of my friends children. Tonight I made 2 cakes for my grandson's birthday party. The request was for one chocolate, and one vanilla one for the family with chocolate allergies. What fun! It's in the shape of a locomotive, with 2 coal cars. Unless it's a pineapple upside down cake, I pretty much prefer plain flavored cakes too.

I would love to learn how to bake cakes but we don't have an oven at home. I can only make pancakes and fridge cakes because these doesn't require an oven and these cakes are much easier to make.

My number one favorite cake is Pineapple Upside Down cake. then a cherry chocolate cake I make then carrot cake and german chocolate. Those seem to be my family's favorite cakes. I have to watch what I cook now though since hubbys diabetes is on a roller coaster. He does not have enough will power to eat only his right portion. I recently took cookies in to my doctors office because I could not eat 4 dozen cookies. Naturally they were thrilled.
