I love baking. However, I do not have formal classes with baking. I started in 5th grade when I assisted my oldest sister in baking. In high school, I bake coconut macaroons and cupcakes to sell to my classmates. I just followed the recipes in those big and heavy recipe books. Nowadays, YouTube and Google are there for every need. I still love baking. I love baking for my family and other people. It is such a joy for me to see others eating my cupcakes or cakes. I made those cupcakes as a gift to friends for Christmas. Do you prepare special gifts for Christmas or other occasions?

They're very cute, the red velvet one gives me Christmas vibes! I attended baking classes but I'm not into baking, what a strange world. Passion is what makes the difference, and you got plenty.

@somewitch yes, that's true. A professional baker would probably laugh at me

@rakski Is it? I wouldn't have guessed, you did a great job. I can barely hold a piping bag.

Sometimes I do. Those cupcakes look yummy. I have been watching the Food Network. They have their Halloween Baking Championship on, and some of the creations they come up with are really amazing.

Those cupcakes look very nice. I don't make cupcakes as gifts but it's a lovely idea.

I love baking too but those are ready made baking... I just add some eggs and put it in the oven, that kind of baking, lol! I also learn baking in school. Did you bake those cupcakes? That's so nice I bet that's yummy too. I like cupcakes when its moist and have a not too sweet icing.

Yes, I bake them. I rarely use ready-made stuff. I only buy that for brownies since I want brownies to be fudgy and moist and when I bake them it always turn dry

I don't bake as often as I used to but I do still make different kinds of cookies for Christmas. Coconut macaroons are one of my favorites. Those cupcakes look delicious
