    Does anyone like doing cakes from scratch?

    Fruit cakes are good if done right.

    They all look yummy, especially the cherry cobbler. I occasionally make pies and cobblers but I haven't made a from scratch cake in since I discovered cake mix. I do sometimes make my own frosting.

    My MIL always ask me to make her a fruit cake. I like chocolate and hubby likes coconut cake.

    That cobbler was delicious, looking at it makes me want to do another.:)
    I use to use cake mixes for years but then after finding a couple of old recipe books, always from scratch and I think it's better for you, and at least you know what's in it.
    I like apple, peach, cherry, coconut, and pecan pies, they're all good.

    Me, too. But I think cherry and coconut are my favorite. Or maybe chocolate. :) Do you make your own pie crusts? That's one thing I never got the hang of. I buy them ready made.

    I do, did both of those on cobbler and apple pie in the pictures above. As I name my favorite I always think of another one I love.

    The same fruitcake? :) They say that is the only way to get rid of fruitcake.

    Probably true about store-bought, but the ones I make are different, taste more like a nut cuke not as sweet and rich.

    Yes. I make all my cakes from scratch, and much more.
