Memories! What was the first thing you baked from scratch?

wow you are really making me trot down memory lane here... i don't think i can remember exactly what was my first baking experience. it must have been something together with my parents in our old home when we still had an oven. i remember my dad had a great kenwood mixer that he has since passed on to me. since now my new place has an oven. i think when i have kids i will want to make baking a regular affair. it's so nice to have kids help bake and when that becomes a part of their childhood memories. warm oven smells and family togetherness.

hehe. i still remember when i first make a cake from scratch. instead of cake it became pudding since it is my first time...

I think it would have to have been chocolate chip cookies. That is normally they first thing we all learn to make.

Cheesecake, it's really hard to make from scratch but it's extremley fun to make with friends.

My family and I bake a TON of cookies and other deserts from scratch every Christmas, and we bake other deserts for every holiday. Its the only time my whole family gets along for long periods at a time, haha. I am especially known for the mile high apple pie that I make from scratch, for most holiday dinners. ;)
