Cakes

[tamborine]

Do you regularly make sponge cakes for tea?

[kvalidir]

Yes! Yes I do! Filthy great Vicky sponges ( they're not very good but getting better), my chocolate mud pies are better :) x

I regularly make cakes for other people. I have to start learning to say no.

I have to make a very creative chocolate cake for 01 December - it's a surprise birthday for a 10 year old boy. Apparently he likes Crunchies and Wispas - at least I've got time to try and come up with something befitting.

No, I am no good at sponges. Last cake I made was a lemon drizzle. This week I will be making a coconut and cherry cake.

[woofgang]

no

[mccfluff]

nope. i'll eat them though - well as long as there isn't any jam.
and they're chocolate with cream and cherries...maybe some kirsch

A past friend always had fresh home bake sponge when kids returned from school. A habit I learned from her (my vet).

I've just made some seedless raspberry jelly so think I'll make a nice fatless sponge sandwich with loads of jam and buttercream (well aunt bessies light buttercreme). I love a victoria sponge but my favourite is lemon drizzle with lemon curd in the middle. I used to bake every weekend but now there's only three of us and mostly we are avoiding cakes for health and vanity reasons :-)

Not any more, still make the odd tea bread, or bran muffin but that's about it. I have some cherries in brandy though and I sometimes do cakes with those .

[pastafreak]

I used to...but don't anymore. Nor do I eat them (well, 95% of the time). I no longer tolerate wheat...or lots of sugar...very well.

[ummmm]

Nope, I've only ever made a cheese cake.

[Mamyalynne]

Rarely bake cakes, haven't really got a sweet tooth.

[rowanwitch]

I miss baking, but no one to bake for

[Cloverjo]

No. I can put together a decent meal, but making cakes is not my thing at all.

[Georgiesmum]

Iused to but havent now for a long while. Im waiting for a new oven at the moment then I plan to start again.Ive had requests to start with bread pudding first!

[Patsy33]

I used to.make quite a few Victoria sandwich cakes, also bread pudding. I haven't made either for a long time. Plus, I'm trying to lose weight!
