To Bake Or Not To Bake





       In the mighty town of Stern,
       Non-cake makers, were thought of
       as lowlier than worms?

       If a pre-made cake was bought,
       Shamed were they and thought of 
       nothings and naught!

       I am no humungus fan of skullduggery.
       Nor will baking ever be my ecstasy!!

ELENA, IT WAS made for fun. But this homemade malarkey is like a religion. Nonsense. It's far cheaper! ANDb some are ghastly. Cheapo shortening used, too. Glad you liked this. Pangie xx

Hello Panagiota, Some people are bakes, some are not. So the one that are not bakers, buy cake. I have tasted some home made cakes they are very tasty. Then again so are some store bought cakes. Yes let people be free to buy. Hugs Darlene xx

Baloney, Darlene. I have had the best cakes and none were homemade. That's such a fairy tale! But many feel as you do. If you tasted some of the cakes we bought..perhaps you'd change your mind? I just can't stand the arrogance. Let people be free to buy. Or did Fauci forbid that, too. He forbids life.arg. Pangie xx

Indeed, baking is an art I am too old to master. On occasion though, such a decadent delight. Delicious entry.

Prince de Mino..,same here..we get Cales from David's in New York and never buy cheap cakes for occasions. I should tell my arrogant CAKE CREATORS if they made their own wedding cake? LOL Pangie xx

Count me in, Pangie, I do not know to bake and would rather buy a readymade one :)

Cool, very cool to know this. My daughter buys the most beautiful cakes. There is som kind of legend in my country that one you make yourself has incredible meaning...and a horrid arrogance if you choose to buy one? How judgemental are these fruit loops. None of their business! Pangie xx
