FabSwingers.com forum: My dilemma

By (user no longer on site) OP

I like baking; I find it therapeutic.

I'm running out of people to bake for as my family are getting bored with cakes and cheesecakes.

If I don't give them away I'll eat them all myself, and I'm fat enough as it is.

I'm thinking of asking the local care home if they would accept a couple of cakes now and then, but I'm worried I might make them ill (if they are allowed to accept home baked food).

Might take up pottery.

Would any schools accept them for bake sales? My kids school sells cakes and buns on a Friday afternoon to raise funds.

Im the same, love baking but not a big cake eater, neither are kids or hubby. Love when people ask me to make cake for them. Great idea to ask care home or maybe ask local homeless sheltet, homeless people love treats as much as everyone else, let me know how u get on

Pretty sure they would be allowed to accept them Kaitlyn. Maybe take them into work or get family to do that

Set up one of those voluntary contribution tables in front of your home like you see in the countryside for eggs etc sometimes.

You’d be surprised how many people just throw £1 in and have a couple of cakes

My grandson's school buys in cakes from Supermarkets for their cake sales. I think it's a health and safety thing with schools.

I would have to supply plates or containers though, and I don't get enough traffic past my house to get rid of them.

Looks like I'll have to eat a whole cherry cheesecake to myself later

I'll a ring around. I don't make them constantly but when I'm in a baking mood I make too many to get rid of.

Would a fresh cheesecake survive the journey?

I have the ingredients for a fruitcake in my larder (my favourite).

I made one last week as a request from my granddaughter and she said it wasn't sweet enough. The recipe doesn't add much sugar and they are used to the frozen ones. Half of it was left in the fridge 2 days later so I had to eat some, as I hate wasting food.

If your next baking frenzy and my next trip to London coincide, I'll take either a lemon drizzle of a lemon cheesecake off your hands. Will trade for tea.

Check with their policy about home baked goods first. I know there are guidelines in place for homes, church groups, public clubs on this issue.

But good idea. There may be a resident you know who would like some if the home has a general policy.

Coffee mornings at local hospices or such like may take them.

Its one reason I stopped cooking loads of lovely puds. Its only me who wants to eat them. Miserable lot I live with, who doesn't love pudding.

I just remembered theres a centre near me like a day centre for OAPs with memory problems. I might give them a ring. I don't want to be baking on a regular basis, but I would like to be able to drop off a couple of cakes now and then when I'm in the mood.

It's a simple problem to solve, when you turn on the oven post a meet today for full on orgy,

Share the baked goods, and burn off the calories.

I used to bake when the children were children, since they left home I have not made anything except bread.

I used a Nigella Lawson no bake recipe with cherry conserve. I don't like overly sweet desserts and this one doesn't use much sugar. I can't stand shop bought cheesecakes, strangely, but I like my own.

Why would your cake make the local elderly folk ill? I'm sure they would appreciate your kindness.

Pottery sounds fun, with a Hotty stood behind you naked steadying you as you attempt to shape the clay

Shop bought cheesecakes are the devil in disguise. They look the part, but they just don't deliver.

Same situation here. I bake at least once a week (usually more) & there's only two of us. We currently have 3 different cakes, 2 types of flapjacks & some muffins in the kitchen! Luckily Mom is a cake fiend so she always takes half of everything off my hands. My sister, aunty & Bert also take any excess to share at work. It might be worth checking if there are any coffee mornings or charity bake events near you as well.

I was thinking allergies or intolerances.

Also, food poisoning

I'm a worrier like that.

I need a potters wheel, and a hot man

I've done a little research and not found much. I might do a Facebook status. I'm only looking at making a couple of cakes and a couple of cheesecakes now and then , to satisfy my baking urges.

I know someone who bakes for the elderly, she's had her kitchen certified somehow. Unfortunately you can't be too careful.
