Are you good at baking cakes?

Not particularly outstanding, functional. I can make good caramel icing from scratch.

I wouldn't say I'm "good" at baking cakes. I suppose I could throw together something really tasty but it would probably end up crooked. One cake I can manage to bake pretty well is a chocolate zucchini cake. Yum!

Yes. I have had some cheesecakes come out rubbery, but I think that was a recipe problem rather than a skill problem.

Ames, IA USA

box cakes, yes...lol. My grandma, however, is AWESOME at baking cakes!

Ashley, 20

Sometimes, although the last cake I made was baked cheesecake and it was revolting. Usually they turn out fairly well though.

It depends on what kind of cake I'm baking; but usually I am a good baker no matter what I am cooking.

Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA

Hell no.

Cristin, 25
Frisco, TX USA

Yes. I learned the craft from my Mom, who was a very fine baker.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

Fairly good. People seem to like them.

Keri-Jade, 23

Not particularly.

Felicia, 37
Lowell, MA USA

I'm the best baker around :) I make all my things by scratch and they usually turn out great.

the box kind but who can really screw one of those up? I think my mother and I made a real cake once but it turned out lop-sided. Still tasted wonderful! Oh well! We just knew what it looked like didn't matter after we put it in our mouths.

3 I like to consider myself a very good cook... however, I have never in my life tried to bake a cake. Now my curiosity is up... I've got to give it a try now.

Doug2, 30

No.

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

As long as it's from a box.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

I am very good at baking cakes.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

I'd say average.

Ryan, 29
Riedlingen GERMANY

I can make a scrum-dilly-ishous carrot cake from scratch, but that's about all. I usually use box mixes for others.

Tam

I'd definitely say I'm better at baking period. I can cook, but baking is more to my enjoyment:) Besides, who can resist cake!

Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA

My box mixes are always good. I bake a pretty good cheesecake from scratch, too.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

Yes, I am. I even made my daughter's wedding cake.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

I'm an adequate but uninspired cake baker.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

I did fine back when I was a kid. Haven't done it in 15-20 years though.

Alias Irrelevante

I've never actually tried baking a cake, but I have found out that I'm pretty good at making cookies. I suppose my baking skills make up for the lack of skills I have in the rest of the kitchen.
