To wonder how people eat all the cakes in these blhh

[WittiestUsernameEver]

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?

The muffins would hang around for a few days & then get ditched. 20 cookies? They'd be gone within a couple of hours.

We made banana muffins last night. Batch of 15. They was gone by 10pm. 2 kids and 2 adults eating them. Same as sprinkle cake will maybe have 15 servings. It lasts a day!
We are all healthy ish 😂 and no one's overweight so guess it's ok.
Birthday cake on the other hand could last us a few days maybe a week before binned unless it's homemade.

We'd eat 1 or 2 then get bored and forget they're in the tin until I find the mouldy remains.

I love baking but none of us like cake that much and cookies and muffins tend to be past their best quite quickly.

I'm not one for freezing and defrosting things - esp cakes!

Don’t know but I can easily eat a pack of supermarket cookies on the way home from the gym. So by that time scale I could eat 12 in about 40 minutes
Hope that helps

How long does it take you to eat a garden plant?

I think it is.
Our family, in our heads a week. In practice, their might be some left the next day...maybe.

I rarely bake these days but when i had all 6 children and Husband at home i baked 3 times a week, a sponge cake, fruit loaf or a lemon drizzle etc only lasted for one sitting, DH was a nightmare as he could eat a whole Victoria sponge in one go. Weetabix cake lasted for one breakfast, if i made pancakes for breakfast i would have to make 30.

A garden plant takes our family about two days to eat depending on its size. Marigolds are a particular favourite.

What’s blhh? In the title? I can’t figure it out

I've yet to finish my birthday cake from my 21st - I'm 35 final slice is tomorrow! 🥳

We eat them but there’s six of us and most things bake about 12

🤣🤣🤣

When we had children at home (mine, DH's, and often a guest or two) cakes and biscuits disappeared almost as soon as they came out of the oven. I don't bother baking much now because DH and I would rather treat ourselves to a cake when we go out for coffee. My adult son is a prolific baker. He lives alone, and his solution is to take his cakes and biscuits to work, to his college classes, and to his various hobby groups. Charity sales and coffee mornings also benefit. Nothing gets left to go stale or mouldy.

It is an immutable law of the universe that home baked goodies disappear at midnight - assuming that they last that long.

I'm surprised you're even asking!

If I bake anything, both DC will have a slice/piece/whatever as a snack when they get in from school, then another as pudding after dinner. Then in the next day's packed lunch. If either of them brings a friend home then they'd get a slice, too. 2-3 days here.

DC1 is a teenage boy. He'd eat a whole batch in an evening and be looking for more given the chance. The other day, he bought an extra sandwich at school because he'd had most of his packed lunch at morning break. He then polished off two bagels as an after-school "snack".

The competitive under eating on this thread is hilarious.

So relatable. My 16 year-old DS quite often has two dinners. A pizza from the freezer is an after-school snack (or a late night snack). I’m going to be so rich when he’s moved out 😂

You've got to love those posts!

There are 3 teenagers in this house. I bake cookies when they have friends round so a round (say 15 large cookie size) would rarely last till bedtime. Do I win?

Whenever I bake I usually take the majority into work for people to help themselves to. The rest get hoovered up pretty fast by my sporty housemates.

I enjoy baking (although I am not great at it). I usually make around 15 cookies a time or 20 buns.
The 4 of us eat them but I do also seem to be baking for a large part of Y10 at my sons school.

They’d be gone in a couple of days. There are four of us.

My OH can eat a whole pack of Tunnocks in 2 days. I used to be able to. I would have had a couple of the Tunnocks but clearly they are all gone.

Right?!
My kids hoover up all baked goods in 1-2 days. I have to hide them!

I usually get
Morrisons cream and jam muffins (pack of 2)
Aldi lemon curd iced buns (pack of 2)
Or custard slices
