i make all my pies cookies and cakes from scratch they just taste so much better to me and my family they won't eat them other wise plus it makes me feel good to do it also :wave: :star: :heart:
-
I sometimes make a pound cake or some brownies. I only do that maybe two or three times a year, then buy store made all other times.
-
Depends on how much time I have. If I have the time I prefer to bake myself but if I get a lst minute invite or decide to go to a socal at the last minute I will buy.
-
I try to bake cakes but for some reason they fall flat in the middle. My baking skills :BangHead:
-
When I was younger I would always bake around the holiday. Now a days my husband and I are always watching our weight and my son is diabetic, so I don't bake as much as I used to.
-
yes I like to bake and now the holiday are coming near I bake all my pies and cookies
my family enjoy them

i like to bake because its a lot cheaper and can bake more. but sometimes i buy if i ran out of cookies and i have a craving of something sweet.
-
i try to make most all things from scratch..unless i get caught at the last minute...
-
I like to bake too. My favorite things to make are bagels and quick breads.
-
when I have time I prefer homemade. But, if I have to work a lot during the holidays, I don't mind taking a little help from the deli or bakery! :wave:
-
I never learned to cook or bake so my cooking skills are nil. I started cooking the basics when I got married, but I can't make cookies or cakes or any baked goods. My cakes, even from a box, never came out right. However, I love to eat other people's baked goods.
-
I love to cook and bake. My desserts are always in demand for all family functions and friends gatherings, I love seeing people appreciate my efforts. :wave:
-
Bake all the way! You can't always trust the quality of store bought items.
-
If I work hard at work, I don't have time, so I buy it at the store. I buy Macaroni salad at the store.
-
I definitely prefer to bake....such a difference!
-
I like my cookies home bake because can make your house smells good.
-
Sometimes I bake, sometimes I buy. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy. Once you buy all the ingredients sometimes it's cheaper to buy something already made.
-
Sonetimes i bake
-
try to make most things at home but sometimes are busy and get store bought treats.
-
I make all my cakes and cookies from scratch, but I never got the hang of making pies.
-
After my husband passed away, in 2011, I have had to relearn cooking for just 1 person. I've wasted a lot of food that I couldn't finish and don't have freezer room for freezing leftovers. It's taken me a couple years to readjust my food habits. Now I just can't be bothered with the mess of cooking and dish washing etc, so I am really just buying what I know I can eat and don't have to cook.
-
baking is much better from scratch then store bought because it brings you a sense of pride and you can smell the freshly baked good coming out of your oven which you cant do at a store
-
I prefer to bake mine from scratch, however if it is a weeknight and we have a craving for cake I go to the box!!
-
Combination of both but usually bake since it's cheaper and it usually tastes better a majority of the time, I love making stuff like Cookies by scratch.
-
Baking from scratch is the only way to go. First of all they taste way better, secondly you know exactly what you are putting into the "cake" or "cookie" so you are eating the best without all the "preservatives, colorings and other nasty ingredients they put in "store bought" goods!!!!!!!!!
-
Storebought for the most part because although homemade is definitely the best tasting :silly: I live by myself and if I baked I would eat too much of it. Sometimes I buy a smaller item from our grocery store bakery or just suffice my sweet tooth with a candy bar.
-
I definitely do baking over store bought. And I've included items like breads as well. Although I've never been big on sweets generally, I find I stave off temptation easier by baking - as if I need a sweet, I have to first make it or find something else. Often it's find something else which tends to have less sugar in it. :)
-
It's usually store bought but I have made my own coffee cake from scratch and an apple pie from scratch and they turn out really good.
-
I cook and bake from scratch as much as possible, including bread. My favorite small appliances are my bread machine and my crockpot. ;D
-
my grandma bake a lot when I was little love her baking she bake pie cakes eveythings she did was bake whith love I miss her I whish I could be like her she was the best :heart: :heart: :heart:
-
All my cakes, pies, cookies...hmmm...neither store bought nor personally made. Those types of things aren't part of my diet in any way. For health reasons, plus I have never had a sweat tooth anyway.
-
Both... Time permitting (and if I feel like it) bake otherwise I'd buy but only from certain types of bakeries.
-
I defiantly store buy i don't have nearly enough time as i would like to have for baking hopefully time will open up for things like that.
-
My preference is to bake - blondies, brownies, apple cake, banana bread, pumpkin bread, etc
-
I enjoy baking, but sometimes the options are so cheap and I want something on demand that I still feel compelled to buy on occasion.
-
BOTH
-
If I have time to bake, I prefer homemade much more, but alas, often it is store bought.
-
Both - it depends on how much time I have and what the event is. I prefer home baked goods as well - that way I know what's been put in them. Funny story. My daughter had a girl scout cookie exchange when she was in 2nd or 3rd grade. We stopped at Jewel bought some cookies from the bakery, a holiday plate and holiday press n' seal. We made it look all pretty in the car outside right before the event started. Everyone complimented us on how delicious our cookies were. There were the same cookies other parents had provided in the same packaging from jewel layed out on the selection. We never did tell our secret.
-
I pretty much store buy everything. We don't mind, we are used to it. Once in a while when I taste something totally home made and it just melts in my mouth.....it makes me want to cook/bake. I do try once in a while. But for the most part it takes too much time and money. :-\
-
I do both, but baking is so much better,
-
I love to bake
-

I find myself baking and preparing meals more now than ever. I want to know what is in my food. So many preservatives and additives, sodium and other GM food products. Fresh is best, and organic is better. You are what you eat as they say!

I make and bake my cornbread from stratch. My husband prefers it that way. I bought some tortilla pans and used them to make star cornbread. I finally reverted back to baking in my cake pans. I plan to buy a rolling pin and cutters because I want to make some homemade cookies. My grandmother used to make old fashioned teacakes. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:
-
It depends, I usually bake but if i'm out and see something good i'll get it.
-
I pretty much bake everything. Like today i made 10doz cookies. They freeze so well and my dad can have them even though he diabetic. Because there is no sugar in them. It has honey, peanutbutter, butter and lots of unsweetened applesauce plus some dried fruit, nuts and unsweetened coconut. I make a lot so that i don't have to do it so often and always have some for him. Hubby likes them too. :silly:

I use to bake but now I buy all my baked goods :thumbsup:
-
It would depend on how tired or lazy i am at the time. I normally however like to bake.
-
:(i store buy my last 2 baking projects were a disaster maybe i try something for christmas
-
i do both depending on what it is.
if i'm too lazy to bake, i buy especially if the ingredients are hard to obtain.
something you just have to bake once in a while too!
-
I do both. Either way is fine with me. ;D
-
I store buy, cause I don't know how to bake to save my life. :sad1:
-
I PREFER to bake myself; then I actually know what is going into the food, but sometimes time just doesn't allow it!!! ::)
-
some time I make it at home other times I go to the store.I like home made best.
-
I do both, depending on the dessert, occasion and time frame. I also tend to be sick a lot, so if that is the case, I just buy store items.
-
My Girlfriend likes to make her pies and stuff from scratch. I don' really participate in that part I just eat what she makes, and its really good.
-
I DO A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH bake and store buy, but if it is a holiday or a birthday then I will always find the time to bake something
-
Store buy an I don't think mines come out right so I just buy from the store
