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).

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.

I buy 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.

I usually buy desserts. It's easier and I don't have to worry about spending time in the kitchen.

I love to bake and cook, so I make most of ours.  But when short on time I do sometimes buy something.

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?  ;)

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.

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.
