To wonder how people eat all the cakes in these blhh

I hope so!

In our house, they'd be gone quickly, depending upon size. Three of us, probably two days (hoping I am not over estimating our restraint).

I have zero willpower when it comes to chocolate. I'm so happy I added it to MY food pyramid!😉😆

Some of these videos are filmed by a team and I'm guessing they would eat them. When my DC were living at home they could polish off a batch in no time, but I rarely bake now as we are quite large enough! I agree with others that you could simply make a smaller batch.

When I had 3 teens at home, we had to have RULES. Otherwise the whole lot would be eaten by the first 2 people to look in the tin.
So, basically, work out your share, 5 people 20 cupcakes, you get 4. Eat them all now or spread over the week.
so 4 of us eat them all on the first day. And dh saves his and eats them over a whole week.
Otherwise dh never got a look in!

I just made a carrot cake on Sunday, there are 3 of us at home now, and we have only eaten about 1/4 of it and I am suffering from missing my teens.

12 muffins 2 days as there's 6 of us

Cookies? they wouldn't get finished. Glazed doughnuts? 12 would be gone in two days. Family of four (husband and two massive teenage boys), I'd have one.

What is blhh?

12 cookies?

2 or 3 days. And I live alone.

2 people eat them before I’m able to have one - four or five packs of E.g. Bourbon, Custard Cream, Hobnobs, Nice and shortbread so around 60+ biscuits! Piglets!

I really think a trigger warning in the title would have been appropriate. We do not even discuss m***s in this household.

Seems reasonable!

*edited for mistake

We're a family of 5, 2 preteen girls and a toddler boy. The other day the toddler and i made 13 cookies with left over Easter chocolate. There were none left 24hours later. I suspect if allowed my girls could eat at least 6 in one sitting.

Unless kids are grossly overwight/diabetic/similar issued i wouldn't do any food "policing" and comparisons. Eat what you want when you want (obviously considering others)

If a whole batch is too much only make half.

That is me too😄

I love to bake, so I do it for events, charity stalls only.

I usually bake treats twice a week. A batch is maybe 20 biscuits and I like to make the fresh ones before the biscuit tin is empty. Two adults and occasional visitors.

I could eat 2 large cookies a day, at least. I've went through those 4 in a bag cookie's from the supermarket in a day before. And no, I'm not huge!

That would last our family of 2, 2-3 days to polish off. We have DS dropping in and DH would eat the lot immediately left to his own devices

I had my kids too long ago for them to have been MN kids, but they were definitely the plague of locusts variety and sometimes needed a bit of parental input around sharing and portion control.

I am thoroughly greedy and could easily polish off 3 big muffins or 5 large cookies in one day, then go back for the same the next day.
This is why I dont bake anymore.

One day you smug f*cker! (Jokes)

I don't bake as often as i would like... but a batch of 12 large cookies would get snaffled up before they had cooled in my house.... same with home made bread.

If this is one of those threads where you have to prove the resilience of a stone in the face of scrumptious indulgence... my little family of four would fail every time.

We have never had to freeze muffins or cakes....

I tend to bake on a Friday with DD (she's little and I work PT so we're home then). This means we have a Friday treat and then there's maybe Friday pudding for after dinner. She goes to the grandparents on a Saturday if we've no plans for a day out, and the other cousins are often there, with sometimes her aunt's and uncles too. So I send any leftovers that way, keeping a few for us.

Or if we bake earlier in the week or on Sunday, they go in lunch boxes with some extras for work friends.

That being said, if I let myself, I could easily eat the majority of a batch of fairy cakes or cookies while they were still warm and fresh. I only don't because I'd get even fatter!

I sometimes use Stork for baking as recommended by HRH 👑 Mary Berry 🍰🧁🥧.
usually half a tub for the 8 inch sandwich cake .
I put jam and sometimes illegally put cream 😉

Wow! A week to eat 12 muffins between 3 people. That’s a lot slower than us. We are 4 people but I tend to only have one or two cakes / biscuits out of a batch of 24 usually. My children and husband all do a lot of sports training and so if I made 12 large cookies, realistically they would last that day and the next and then be all gone. I don’t think we are particularly greedy either, but the kids might have one cookie each on coming in from
school, and another on the way home from training, then take one each in their lunchboxes the next day. DH and I might have one each after supper and then DH would eat two over the course of the following day, and so on.

I make cakes or biscuits a couple of times a week so some days we have fruit for pudding and others it’s homemade cake etc.

How much butter do you go through?

I love home made cake but balk at the butterfat prices.

I’d easily eat a slice of cake 🍰 each day with a cup of tea if myself or DD had been baking , husband would have some too .
We will usually make an 8” sandwich cake so that’d last 3 days maybe 🤔
I sometimes get bored of eating the same cake though , variety is nice so I don’t bake that often .

12 cookies? We're a family of 4 so probably 2 or 3 days.
