Baking

[LisaJ1986]

Hey all.
I've decided to do something with myself today and decided to bake. I'm really, really bad at it but gonna give it a go. Will walk upto Co-Op in a bit for ingredients.
List me some ideas of what i can do. I can do Chocolate sponge, so i'm not bothering with that as it's all i can do. I'm gonna do some chocolate chip cookies, but not i'm stuck for ideas! (I have no imagination, Lol) Wht do all you lot do?

I've started baking for my relative's birthdays and trying to bake them cakes etc that they like.

So far I've made: Apple sponge/crumble thing (sorry can't remember the name)
Coffee and Pecan cake (so easy and so yumy)
Lemon Drizzle cake (yummy)
Chocolate sponge (can't beat it!)
Apple Pie
Chocolate & Marshmallow Pie (like cheescake but with chocolate & marshmallow topped with whipped double cream).

Best advice is to buy a baking book or go to a site like http://www.Joyofbaking.com or Delia and just pick something you like the look of - or with a simple list of ingredients!

Chocolatee brownies are easy to make and yummy to eat Loads of recipes online

Flapjack also easy to make and can do variations with fruit and so on.

This thread inspired me to go and bake some brownies. They are lush. Especially as I had one warmed with some ice-cream.











Unfortunately I now have a batch of brownies that are calling my name....................

I love honey and cheese scones at the moment!! And I've been meaning to make raisin cookies and choc chip cookies just don't have the time

 

[NickyB]

Yo, how did it go?

I didn't get round to it yesterday, so I made honey cake today. It was very easy but it ain't much to look at!

Had last weeks effort still in my camera so I thought I may as well upload too!

Mmmm, they look scrummy. Well my cookies all blended into 1 big one! Lol. But my OH takes them to work and brags, so he got in trouble for not taking any in! Lol. So today i made more for him to take with him and they look loads better. And just as scrummy!
