So I love to watch baking videos and whatnot. They're always making like 2 dozen massive muffins or 20 cookies or whatever.

When do these all get eaten?? Am I missing something? If I make 12 muffins, we (family of 3) will take maybe a week to eat them, maybe more. They often get frozen and used up eventually. But I always get the impression that we're "slow".

How long would 12 cookies, the size you might get in bakery supermarket last your family?

Is this a weird stealth brag?

It would probably take us (family of 5, but thinking back to when we were 3) about 2-3 days to eat 12 muffins.

20 cookies - again a couple of days.

We wouldn't need to freeze them. We would probably have a couple each (maybe 3?) on the day they were made and then whoever wanted some would have 1-2 more over the next day or two.

I have no idea what a "massive" muffin is though

Is this like the mumsnet chicken where we all brag how long it takes us to eat cookies?

i bake on a regulare basis, cake and buns mainly... just for family to take to work, school etc.

i never eat any because im not a great fan of sponge cake 😂

If I made a batch of muffins I'd have eaten them all by the end of the day because I'm disgustingly greedy. I'm going to the garden centre today to buy plants and I'm going to buy one small slice of cake there. I probably won't eat anything like that again for months.

Nb i do also make smaller things rather than huge sizes. I'll make a 1lb loaf, and cookies half the size of supermarket ones.

We are a family of four and would each have one every day so 3 days. DH on occasion might polish off 2 in a day if he's been running.

But then also, we often have friends or family popping in and i would offer that sort of thing to a visitor so actually they will often disappear faster!

I never bake or buy cakes, I'd love to do both those things but I'd be massive if I did.
I treat myself to other things instead, ones that are not fattening like garden plants.
