yeah I agree, I don't bake but know lots of people, even people who live alone, who are baking loads atm for want of something else to do!If it's a hobby, it's a hobby. But this was a "baking day".
My housemates at uni used to joke they'd know when I had a deadline/my period because the house would be full of different cakes. I'd make like four or five things and we'd end up having to distribute them to all the neighbours on the street and take them to lectures to get rid of them. Baking makes you feel in control of something, like you're doing something AND you get something tasty and comforting to eat at the end.
