    Probably 3 times a week. I will do a big bake on a Sunday and then top up with fresh stuff through the week. Mostly biscuits and slices for lunchboxes/morning and afternoon tea etc. Sometimes I will do a cake, but it doesn't travel as well as biscuits and slices so the cake is usually just for something different and one that doesn't need icing (as the icing doesn't travel well at all) like a banana bread or date loaf. cupcakes do get a run too but biscuits are my thing - I have 86 cookie cutters ROFL. I will bake a pudding at least once a week too and there is usually enough to last the week. The big winners around here are shortbread, gingerbread, choc chip, anzacs and my chocolate fudge slice with chocolate ganache <- recipe has been posted already LOL

    I bake 2-3 times a week. Would like to bake just once, but the bigger batch I make the quicker it goes

    At least once a week if not twice, usually always for playgroup on Tuesdays. Have got some jam drops in the oven right now. DS helped me this morn so they look, hmmmm lets say, interesting LOL. I like to bake biscuits, loafs, muffins etc both for DH if he's home & DS to get more things into him like vegies & I figure better a cake made at home than one that can last 3weeks on the shelf at woolies!

    About 2-3 times a week, mostly as another activity with DD1 whilst baby is asleep and to avoid eating more processed stuff.
    We do basic stuff, choc chip/anzac biscuits, cupcakes, banana bread, gingerbread men, cookies etc. DD1 requested that we make icing yesterday which was interesting. I try and send most of it to DH's work as otherwise I eat it all .

    I am insanely jealous. I would like to bake more, but I dont have a lot of time, but I do try to get something in the oven at least once a week. Nothing better than fresh homemade baked goods. And I also do a roast of some kind every week... does that count???

    Oh - gonna start another thread asking that! Love roasts mmmmmm

    Charmalea, I was ****e too, but finally now in my 30`s and many years of trying and failing, I have started to get quite good. And the better I get the more I want to do it. DONT GIVE UP YET!
    Its learning a few basic things like not over mixing batters that help.
