Post by: melissajh44 on February 12, 2016, 02:35:18 pm: I usually buy desserts, I don't have much time to make them. I love to bake things from scratch though (when I do have time).

Post by: vickysue on February 12, 2016, 02:50:52 pm: Most of the time I make mine from scratch. But once in a while I will buy a small cheesecake or a cream pie that I don't make. It is called being lazy. Or maybe I just want something with out having to make it. I don't have a spring form pan any more to make a cheese cake. When we were getting ready to move several years ago I had all of my specialty pans packed in a box and when hubby was loading some boxes to be donated he loaded up my box and it was all donated. I did not catch it until we bought a house and I was unpacking. Oh well I hope some one else is enjoying them.

They are so cheap at costco/sam's club & tasty too.

Groupon has been having some great deals on pastry/cakes from "fancy" cake shops around my area for the past year. Buying the ingredients & spending all that time making it, is no longer cost or time effective.

Post by: linderlizzie on February 13, 2016, 08:01:16 am: I try not to do dessert at all. Sugar is a real health wrecker. Gotta go easy with it.

I do share a decadent chocolate dessert :star: with a friend from time to time, but that's about it.

I believe I really do like savory more than sweet. Nobody else out there like that? ;)

:fish:

Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: LenoraMinogue on February 13, 2016, 01:33:48 pm: It really depends on the mood I'm in and how much time I have. I tend to often just buy desserts if it's just for me. But I enjoy creating them for other people so I can get the oooh and awww factor in between bites.
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: snuggleycutejc on February 13, 2016, 01:58:35 pm: I prefer to buy them. The power and the ingredients are expensive, and the bakeries recipes are actually starting to understand what healthy is and they are changing.
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: patriciaeclevenger on February 15, 2016, 06:04:17 am: I enjoy baking so I typically make my own desserts. I also like using healthier ingredients so baking at home is a good way to know what's in the dessert but sometimes if it's a special occasion and we're out to eat I'll try a new dessert at a restaurant.
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: yikes77 on February 15, 2016, 06:14:24 am: I normally buy desserts though if I have a lot of fruit that is overripe I make a simple crisp with them.
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: Forp on February 15, 2016, 12:10:24 pm: Buy the reduced stuff at the big box stores or bake a one bowl batch of something or other whenever the mood strikes. Always have room for dessert
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: yaayme on February 15, 2016, 12:13:50 pm: most of the time I buy them. I'm not that good of a baker. :(
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: ancmetro on February 15, 2016, 12:40:42 pm: The only desert I make at home is "Flan", which is a French custard. The rest I buy them at the local bakery in major grocery stores. Because bakers really know all the expert techniques for certain sweets.

Post by: vg7405 on February 16, 2016, 01:28:53 am: I am not that good of a cook, so I unfortunately resort to purchasing deserts...although, there have been some occasions where I have tried homemade deserts, such as cheesecake. Yum!

Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: gaylasue on February 17, 2016, 08:21:45 am: I generally make my desserts. Occasionally I'll buy a pre-made one especially if it is a last minute thing or if I see something that really catches my eye and/or sweet tooth!

Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: SherylsShado on February 25, 2016, 09:48:07 am: Depends on the occasion and my energy level.... Typically dessert is a healthy one that includes the use of fruit and not much sugar. (I'm not very gifted in the kitchen, so when something fancy calls...I buy.)

Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: makeblessed on March 03, 2016, 12:10:14 pm: I buy them, I am not a good baker at all. If I have a receipe, I may give it a try but that rarely happens since we are not big deserts eaters in our house I just buy when we have a taste for.
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them

Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: braggin on March 09, 2016, 04:22:33 am: I used to make dessert a lot but now we usually buy them at Costco because they are so good and reasonably priced there. We are especially fond of their pumpkin pies and their big oatmeal cookies.
Title: Re: do you buy deserts or make them
Post by: bremer51 on March 09, 2016, 09:10:00 am: I don't eat a lot of desserts, but when I do they are usually home made. This weekend I'm making an Oreo cheesecake for a family dinner. I'm pretty sure you can gain five pounds just by looking at a cheesecake.
