    Generally speaking in our house my husband does the baking and I do more of the fancy cooking. It makes sense as he’s an analyst and I’m a lot more free form haha. That being said, since we got a bread machine I’ve been making bread more, it’s just too easy and comes out so good.

    If I had to bake something right now though, I’d make a rhubarb crisp. Especially as that’s literally something I’m doing today since we have so much rhubarb! Hmm, maybe rhubarb and blueberry…

      I’ve toyed with a bread machine but I think I can’t be trusted, I’ll just end up eating bread all day. Home baked bread is just too good!

    My top three faves are sourdough bread, layer cake, and macarons. Depends on how much time I have and who I’m trying to impress. I’ve finally gotten decent at bread. I can make a cake that tastes great but can’t decorate better than a 6 year old. I’m surprisingly good at making macarons.

    Banana bread if I have ripe bananas! It is easy, delicious, and makes the house smell wonderful.

    Chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies. People love them. They look cool because they’re a crinkle cookie. They’re ready. They have a fun story about how I fond the recipe. Perfect cookie to give to people. If they don’t get eaten in a day, they stay soft for at least two days instead of hard rocks like a lot of cookies.

    Apple pie! My favourite recipe uses lard, of all things. Really delicious and it works as long as there are no vegetarians. ☺️

    I tend to avoid baking and im being quite hard on myself in regards to a diet atm so not really keen on eating carbs and sugar…

    When I do bake its normally a victoria sponge, i’ve made a few and not messed them up too badly so far.

    So… Someday i learned that you can make cookie stamps with a 3D printer very easily just from pictures and i had to promote something about electronics at work. So i made elektronic-circuit-looking cookies to luer colleagues in the lab. The were of course awesome

    One day a colleague dumped his badge into his coffee mug that was standing on the table because his badge used to be on a necklace and he was bending over to connet a monitor for presenting. Some time later i thought it would be hella funny to make him a bunch of rectangular badge-sizes cookies that looked exactly like his badge, except they said: “badge to dip into coffee” He didn’t even get the joke at first. He was just speecless i made cookies with his face. Any way, after getting the joke he showed them to everyone in the office that stepped by his desk.

    Also when organizig workshops i once made the best cherry cheesecake that i ever made and i don’t think i will ever make a better one. I often times think about it.

    At one point i decided to become a cakefluencer and documented the process of making a rainbowcake. It tasted really disgusting because of all the coloring i was using. It looked relly cool though. The colleagues at work where nice enough to say thd liked it, maybe they really did. I don’t know. (I did not become a famous cakefluencer)

    Nowadays i work for a more uptight company, so no fun cookie stuff anymore. But i will have my last day next week, so i will bring cake on friday. I will attempt to make mango cheesecake because i’ve always wanted to try that. And also some vegan cake with nuts or something.

    I will add some pictures later if i don’t forget and also english is obviously my second language.

    Either cake, or mini baguettes and bread rolls. For the mini baguettes I’ll bake like 2 of them until they’re almost too crunchy, and then eat both while they’re still piping hot! Ugh now I’m craving some so bad LMAO 😭
