Sure, why not!
I'm not much of a baker myself but I can do it when required.
Couple of weeks ago I did some mini Skyrim sweetrolls for my sister's birthday (we also ate Dragon leg and Whiterun corn!) and we were smart enough to take pictures before they disappeared :D

First two are before the icing properly set, third is the LAST sweetroll! :shock:
They didn't turn out awesome, lol. But the sponge was light and fluffy and the icing not too sugary - and all tasted nice! My sister enjoyed them! :D

So, let's see your baking pictures too!

They look great to me, BMH! I love your image titles. I tee-heed. :D
When I was a teenager, my friend's mom made wedding cakes sometimes, and I used to help her. A few years ago, I was determined to start my own cake company, and then my first baby came along and all time and energy went out the window. I've made lots of cakes and cupcakes, but like a dummy I usually forgot to take pictures.
Here's a little argyle cake I made real quick for a family get-together. I found the pics on my cell phone, my horrible dinosaur phone. So of course the quality stinks. :D

Yay baking thread! I'll need to bake something now to take photos of... Lol, my friends will love this! Actually, my friend and I are already planning to make a giant cupcake so I shall probably subject you all to photos of that :grin:

I love the Argyle cake - so clean and simple, and cute!

Starrley - love the argyle cake, so pretty.

I make a cake every year for my kids birthday, but I almost always use one of wilton's shaped pans. Here are a few that I could find pictures of.

I think so, Brain, but can the gummi worms really live in peace with the marshmallow chicks?
I think so, Brain, but if they called them "sad meals" nobody would buy them.

My baking skills have only hovered around things that are more practical everyday foods, and less on the decorative fun things... although I may go there some day!

This one time, I baked a loaf of bread using buttermilk... It was so very tasty!

But I made up for it with this! (The crust is home made, so I count it as a baked good) It was EXTREMELY tasty!

So, in my spare time when I haven't been crafting, I've been going to baking class!! On the downside, I am very bad at taking pictures of what I've made! I'll see if I can dig up one or two. We've made some pretty awesome things in class! :)

So far, I've taken a general baking arts class, breads, pies, cakes, cookies and bars/squares. Pastries will probably be up next!
