Title: Do you prefer homemade or store bought dessert
Post by: ladycasshmere on July 31, 2015, 10:50:52 am
I like to bake my own cookies sometimes. I have always purchased store bought cake because I didn't know how to make it from scratch. I finally trier and it was great. It was better than the boxed kind.

Homemade of course. You can control the ingredients that go into what you make as opposed to store-bought which has ingredients that I can't pronounce. There's just something about homemade that tastes better. I grew up with it, so that's what I'm used to.

If it's grocery store dessert I prefer homemade. But sometimes bakeries can walk circles around something I'd make at home.

I like to bake at times but sometimes feel like it ay to complicated or too much time.  Rather store bought

Overall, I would say I prefer homemade, because you can make so many variations of cookies, cakes, pies, etc.  They are also much healthier for you, and  you can change the recipe around to suit the tastes of others, such as my vegan daughters, or experiment with whole wheat flour instead of white flour.

depending on the dessert.
it can be very time consuming on the desserts, but if you wanna make them your own way, then homemade is absolutely awesome!!

I can't cook homemade goods unless I look up recipes. Store bought goodies are sometimes good depending on the item.

I do prefer homemade versus store bought desserts, but I don't have the time to be shopping and baking like I used to, so I have to buy goodies at the store. Sometimes I will go to a bake sale and buy sweets that were made from scratch instead of store bought. Maybe in the near future I can get back to doing this.

I like both.  Homemade goodies are always good and usually the very best!  You can't beat recipes handed down by experienced bakers.  But sometimes something goes wrong and it turns out hard or dry.  That's where store bought deserts come in handy.  You can always count on them to be good!!

Definitely home made!  Store bought is well, store bought - you don't know what ingredients went into the cookie/cake/cupcake/pie or whatever; at least when you make it yourself from scratch you know what you're getting.

Oh I prefer homemade but eat store bought stuff unless my sons make something because of my medical situation.  Sometimes I help by sitting at the table and they bring me the ingredients but I can't stand at the counter that long or walk back and forth to the table.  So I just do the best I can and make do.  Homemade is definitely for the most part more delicious.

I like both, I am not a baker but enjoy others homemade desserts, but I have found some equally good in the bakery section of certain stores. I am not a big dessert eater, but when I get the taste for something I can usually find it in a supermarket
like Wegman's bakery which is delicious!

I love to make desserts on my own. There's no better feeling of accomplishment.

Home made gets top billing for me.  There is something so good about baking from scratch and using your own ingredients.  You also know how fresh your home made dessert.

I prefer homemade but I usually get store bought out of convenience.

Homemade if possible (though not made by me lol)

I like to make desserts myself. The only problem is that I live alone so I don't bake very often because I don't need to eat a lot of sweets.  If it is here, I will eat it.

I like both depends on what it is. Some of the pies they make are tasty.

Store bought... Making it the dessert would be better, but too much work for it

it doesn't matter what it is anything homemade always seems to taste better. i alsolike the fact that someone also took the time to make something from scratch . I love to bake it's fun and most of the time healthier then the store bought verison peronally I think that it is the love thhat someone puts into something that makes it better!

I prefer homemade dessert over store bought dessert any day, but sometimes time and energy (or lack thereof) win out and store bought is the only way to get a dessert.

Homemade is usually better, but I mostly don't have the inclination to do it myself anymore.  I know some people who love to bake when they have time, and when they do...yum, yum, yum! However, in some of the stores around me, not bad.

I prefer homemade. I find that cakes from a mix have a metallic aftertaste to them. I love to bake my own chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies because they are so much better than store-bought ones. And of course, nothing beats a fresh apple pie straight from the oven with ice cream on top.

Home made is always better because you know what is going into preparing a dessert.

Homemade of course is the best way to go for anything.  But I don't always have time so I've learned to like store bought.
