how often do you bake?

Zenya

like sweet stuff, not practical stuff like bread.

 

My mom wasn't a baker so I grew up with her baking maybe 2-3x year.  Lately I have been baking a TON.. but I don't know what's typical?

2-3x/year is considered NOT a baker?!  Ohshit.  What do you consider someone who doesn't bake at all?  LOL
I don't bake.

Joe has made brownies with the kids a couple of times.  Other than that, they will have to add "no baking with parents" to the list of things to discuss in therapy!

I would say that on average, I bake weekly.  I always volunteer to bake for school things, ballet bake sales, etc.  And if I don't bake something, then I will make homemade ice cream or pudding, etc. for home.  My mom has always been/still is a big baker too.  She definitely bakes weekly.

Not often. If I bake cookies and breads and stuff I just eat it. I have no control, so it's easier just not to bake much at all.

I made a bunch of zucchini bread and muffins over the summer when I was overloaded with zucchini from the garden. I haven't baked since then. I've been trying to get motivated to bake cookies with the kids this week but I really just don't feel like bothering.

Probably 2-4 times a month.

I'm not a baker, I like to and am better at cooking than baking.  So, I really only bake for holidays and then only if I can't convince someone to do it for me.  I cannot have that stuff in the house either.  But, if I was a good wife I would make some ruggelach for my DH for his bday today.  Maybe this weekend.

I would like to bake weekly if I had someone other than us to eat what I make.  And if I had more time.  I'll usually make a special dessert for Sunday supper and I like to keep homemade cookie dough in the freezer to bake a few cookies for the kids throughout the week, but there are weeks where I don't bake anything.

I would say less often than a few times a month but more than a few times a year.  During the holidays, starting with Halloween, the kids and I bake a lot.  Not so much during the summer, when it's too hot to run the stove, but I will bake a chocolate pie every once in a while, and for most birthdays.  Last spring, I was really into cake pops.  So, maybe more often than 1-2x a month, but sort of clustered in the last 3 months of the year.

Usually once a week or so.

But after the orgy of baking for the kids' birthdays and my Christmas party and the cinnamon rolls that DH wants for Christmas, I may never bake again. I am tired.

I will bake something every couple of weeks or so. Today is baking day with my mom and sister. We have made 45 assorted dozen cookies.

I don't necessarily bake with my kids!  I prefer to do it when Sara is stuck in front of a movie during K's nap when C is at school.

More than a few times a year but less than a few times a month...probably about once a month, I would say.

Never.  I would love to but we are kind of health freaks which in some ways makes me sad.  I love baking and I love to eat the results!
