Baking A Cake

Hey Opal, That cake sounds good! Post a picture if you can. I have been in the mood to bake lately. I baked some Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins a few days back and some biscuits (like KFC type) yesterday. Today I made a chicken pie and I have been in the mood to bake some Half and Half cookies but I don't want to bake them till I finish off my oat and raisin cookies (which are much better than I expected!) But yeah, I am in a baking mood for sure.

Yum - I can almost smell your delicious cake from here! I bought the ingredients to make a gingerbread cake last week - but I haven't got around to doing it yet because we went away for the weekend. Maybe tomorrow!

Yumm, that sounds delicious. I made an apple blackberry crisp last night. It was yummy.

Hi Opal, I am sure your cake will be delicious, we will be baking one later today, but it will be pink sponge as my son will be helping LOL (4) and will taste wonderful but won't look too godd as I let him do everything except the hot, hot, hot oven bit. He will then decorate with whatever we have avaiable and will often fill with chopped friut, his speciality bless. It is fun though. Ellie :D

I have never made a cake, however I am making a berry crumble today!

Hello Opal Your cake sounds so yummy , can I have some ? hehe hee !!I onced tried to bake my dad a cake , but it was burnt on the outside , and the inside was still too warm , and gooey . Not even my pug dog would eat it I have mastered just reg cooking , and still getting the hand of baking . This year with lots of hard work I did make my dad a chocolate chip cheesecake , and it was awesome . I should make some chocolate chip cookies today , be a nice treat for the boys when they get home

You remind me of a cake that my brother made around 8 years ago ... it was a chocolate cake and I loved that .... Have I told you that I don't know how to bake lolz ... I am serious!

LOL--I love to cook and bake but yikes...my oven stays off from around May to maybe October as it would make my apartment too gosh darn hot. Once it does get cooler though, I'm hankering to maybe bake some of my homemade breads like I used to...I really don't bake too many cakes or pies anymore as its' just me now...it was different when both my grandmother and mother were alive. The only time I do any real pastry baking is on the holidays, like my sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving and my Cranberry Walnut bread for Christmas

Not in the mood to bake because it is so hot here and the oven heats the house up so I dare not turn it on. The cake sounds good thou

I am glad to hear that it is turning out well. The last thing that I baked were meatballs. I used bake cakes frequently, but since I am on a diet it is not a wise idea as I will eat them all.

yep i found one i can respond. myself when i cooked i seldome made cakes. i loved baking peanut butter cookies and lemon chiffon pies. wish i still felt up to it.

Hi Opal26, What a good idea but unfortunatly its 11.p.m. in the evening here in the U.K and its a bit late for me to be bakeing a cake, but i wouldn't a piece when your cutting it plase he he. Tamara

baking is very rare for me, i do it sometimes not regularly bake but i use my oven for grilling purpose. i use to grill chicken make some sorts of chicken dishes which we like the most it becomes so easy if we try cooking chicken in a oven n also tasty, which also reduces using fat content n also its a good way to cook with any oil, if u r weight concious

I sure wish I can bake a cake! I am an aspiring chef and I have tried baking, but it's just not for me. I can whip up a nice pasta dish or something meaty, but I really have a hard time with baking. There are just too many darned calculations and preparations and maybe I'm just not born with the "baking gene" But anyway, I'm happy that you have succeeded with your baking thingie. Good for you!

I love to bake. I just might have to sit here and think of what I want to bake now although you have me wanting cake now....right now. I love cake.

Gosh that sounds good. I am the worst baker. I think I'm a decent cook, but I just can't bake. It's boxed mixes for me. I did make soem awesome homemde buttercream icing last week, though.

I'm planning to look up a recipe for pineapple upside down cake which I love. I've never made it though but I don't think it's too terribly hard to do. Wish me luck. [b]~~MY OWN PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF**[/b]

Hello Opal. It's so funny that I'm reading some of your older discussions and came across this one. I had been wanting to bake a white cake with fluffy white frosting lately. And I just baked it yesterday! Two of my sisters came over for Stitch 'n B-tch last night (we get together once a month to do crafts), so I decided I'd bake it for our dessert (we always have just dessert). That way, my husband and I would have the rest but we wouldn't have the whole cake just between the 2 of us. Your swirl cake sounds pretty and delicious! Hope you enjoyed it. I love to bake cakes but almost never do because of the fats and calories. Take care.

hi hun, well what your baking sure sounds yummy so we will pop in and have a piece of your one lol.. really i love to bake and i always make my hubby chocolate,cream and strawberry cake..so i will make one this weekend.. hugssssss and enjoy your cake

I feel like baking too. I want to bake a caramel cake. With dulce de leche frosting or filling. My teeth is starting to hurt just by thinking about how sweet it's going to be but sometimes it's the only way to go. Enjoy your swirl cake!
