My husband and grandfather bake, mostly bread, but my grandfather's cookies are legendary at his church.

That lemon cake sounds good, I love lemon stuff. My grandma had a great lemon bar recipe.

My spouse grills a mean steak and barbecues chicken. He does cook, in 20+ years I have never seen him bake. He does keep the local bakeries in business though

My new years resolution is to bake more cookies and freeze them for the kids lunches. The store bought cookies are getting too expensive and the packages are getting less and less in them!

I think the prepare it quick thing is definitely a factor. I think professional bakers in commercial bakeries are men because the job requires heavy lifting, etc. I used to work in a bakery. I don't know if I could lift some of those trays and all that dough.

I bake, and have for many years, just a bit ago I made some brownies from scratch, (Scratched myself when opening the box of mix)
Seriously, I do a lot of baking of cookies, brownies, cakes, whoopie pie, and I'm trying to figure out how to make some good Cream Horns here pretty soon.
On top of the sweets, I like baking many other things.

I want to try and make bread this winter, esp. on those dreary day's when it's nice to have the oven going.
Today I am making sugar cookies, not from scratch, but slice and bake.

I do make choc. chip from scratch..

My big thing that takes 2 day's is making Tamales which I am starting today also.

I'll bake all the stuff on that platter. I'm just not the type to artfully arrange them. Into a tin they get dumped.

I just made brownies the other night. They were over cooked and stuck to the pan. You needed a chisel to pry them loose!

Never again!
