I made a scratch yellow cake with scratch buttercream frosting this weekend and I think I may have really started something.  It was so good it made me wonder what it would taste like if I made a yellow with maple buttercream and a yellow with some kind of fruit buttercream, a chocolate with chocolate buttercream, you see where I'm heading with this!

If the OP is thinking of marketing her baked goods, I would love it if she went on Shark Tank and was successful!

I just couldn't understand why others were "frowning" with their thumbs down. ;-)
Probably thought I was sarcastic. Don't know, - don't care. In fact, I've never noticed

those up-down thumb things until now. Learn something new every day!

The dislikes are probably from - xx

people who do not know about the reality program called Shark Tank for aspiring entrepreneurs. It's so much easier to condemn something than to learn what it is 'cause learning what it is would take, you know, like some effort and stuff.

Sweatpants? - j/k

I can relate to the OP. Once I get going all I want to do is bake.

QVC? They have some killer-good cakes. - nm

I can't see the prices but got some good ideas for future cakes! There's one triple lemon that I can't wait to try!

The prices are with each item so I don't know why - you can't see them. sm

Glad you checked it out! If you order food and don't like it, you don't have to send it back and they give you a refund excluding shipping. Enjoy!
Sorry, I meant I can't see why the prices are so high - nm

I guess dry ice is expensive, plus everybody has to get their cut of the pie and sometimes I wonder what QVC's take is. Some prices aren't so bad when you consider the work you'd put into it making for yourself, especially if it's for one person. They're pretty sly with marketing, so you can get ripped off easily if you're not comparing prices for each of their deals.

I'm OP, kinda lost, what is shark tank and - what's the sweatpants thing?

I just like baking because my next door neighbors are a cute young couple who love to eat.

That's called "preventive baking" - wheres_my_job

When you've got people to eat up the stuff you bake, that is ideal.

This year for "holiday baking," I'm just focused on buying my wonderful ingredients (candied pineapple, pecans (who the heck can afford pecans anymore? or walnuts?) (speaking for myself), almond extract, etc...this stuff is not exactly cheap.

I even bought chocolate sprinkles for the first time in my life, at Big Lots.

So I have it in a cupboard. I love to open that cupboard and look at all my ingredients. That in and of itself is satisfying. There's a WHOLE winter to bake cookies, make a buche de noel (sp. possibly wrong), etc. What's the hurry? No hurry.

Enjoy the journey of life...and enjoy the ingredients of baking. Now I want to say something about foreplay, but I will just be an angel, and sign off for now :)

I'm a reckless baker because - sm

I recently used my aunt's recipe to make her to-die-for cheesecake. My intention was that the husband and I would have a few pieces and the rest would go to our friends. Unfortunately, we didn't plan very well because we never left the house, didn't have any guests, and ended up eating the ENTIRE thing in 3 days.

Next time, I'm going to verbally commit those excess baked goods to friends BEFORE I stick them in the oven. Otherwise, the husband and I will be Mr. and Mrs. Fattycakes.

Is that what you meant?
LOL - yes that's what I meant - wheres_my_job

Wow, three days in the house with cheesecake, aunt's special recipe.

I'm doing a cookie exchange with a coworker, so I DO get to make cookies - with pecans in them! I can also make half a batch and then freeze some. It's all good.

LOL - "Mr. and Mrs. Fattycakes." That's why I try and stuck to the cupboard thing, just opening it and seeing all my ingredients. I may actually burn 5 calories, opening and closing that cupboard! :)
I'm the opposite, if it's yummy I call them, if not... - I just eat it myself! OP - NM

Shark Tank -- a reality show where people with possible business ideas compete for funding from a panel of potential investors.

Sweatpants -- a possible solution to the problem of weight gain if you make and eat too many cakes.

Has anyone gotten one of those picture cakes made?  I am assuming you get your picture back intact, but I thought I'd ask around first.  I don't want to have a favorite picture ruined!  Thanks! ...
