/ck/ - Food & Cooking

You do know how many cooks and chefs, even in the pastry field, are male right?

I'm a male baker, though I don't do desserts.

A friend of mine once told me that baking was actually the "manliest" form of cooking, since it's so easy to fuck something up and you have to be confident in your recipes, as random changes and substitutions can ruin everything.

I think masculinity paradigms are fucking dumb, but it was a neat little though.

>even in the pastry field
Gay ones, yes.

only if you fuck other dudes at any point before, after, and during the baking of said cakes. Or unironically have a t-shirt that says "I like to bake cakes and give head"

Op here, I know yeah, there are a lot of male chefs (and with that arguably comes baking), but what if I take it up as a hobby or something. Not just in general, but as a hobby. Does that make me less masculine??

>>5166482
Since when is feeding yourself masculine? I've gotta find that quote from Churchill berating troops for considering sewing, cooking, and cleaning women's work; but not being able to figure it out themselves.

>>5166492
You mean since when is feeding your self feminine?

>>5166482
>Does that make me less masculine??

Who gives a shit? If this is a legitimate problem for you then you have issues that stretch far beyond baking.

Yep. Baking cakes has been scientifically proven to increase estrogen levels

Also, wanna see it when it's done? I will deliver.

>2014
>giving a shit

No, but seriously, baking doesn't make you "unmanly." Bitches love that shit.

No, only sandwiches are a food item that must always be prepared by a female, at least in the US.

I made that bitch a cake. Bitches love cake.

They really do.

doesn't that make you french

This. Not only that but repeated exposure to the baking process (you know that nice fresh bread smell) reduces a chemical that tells your body to make more testosterone.

You're a faggot if you don't like eating fresh cake unless if you're OP.

Chicks dig cakes. Seriously, make some fancy looking cake and you'll be drowning in pussy.

Now if you were making cupcakes, that's kind of prissy. I'd say don't do that. When it comes to cakes bigger is better, stick with the full size.

>>5166593
no you want something in between cup cake and full sized cake size. this way your cake gets used up faster thus letting you bake more often for the ladies

>>5166443
Do you suck dicks?

>>5166593
Grills love my vegan cupcakes. When I make this one, I put chocolate leaves on top. There's three more layers beneath the frosting.

>>5166443
>>5166531
Sheet cake is the worst cake.

Your cake looks pretty mediocre.
Needs more decor and tiers.

Would not suck your dick for that.

When I was 13, I would come home, bake a 9 inch cake, eat the whole thing, and sleep for 12 hours.

>>5166443
At least you're not baking pies like an old granny.

>>5166443
you're gay if you like penis

>>5166807
...that's incredibly depressing

using off the shelf frosting makes you gay and also a shithead

>>5166807

Yeah..."cake"...right.

>>5166836
It was after playing starcraft all night and being too lazy to pack a lunch. I still sleep 12 hours sometimes, but without the whole cake.

>>5166822
What about futa

>>5166443
Do you wear a frilly apron and sing in a high voice while you do it?

Do you cry when your cake turns out wrong?

Do you spend a lot of time discussing what kind of flowers you're going to make out of icing?

Do you bake cakes, at least in part, to get pussy?


>>5166461

>I think masculinity paradigms are fucking dumb

what a fag

I'm getting better that was my second cake.

>>5166997

Remember the butter is not supposed to be too soft, like about 65 degrees. Worth knowing this. It's no fun having a cake fail and not understanding what you did wrong.

>>5166899
Gayer than traps, less gay than homosex.

>>5166443
You're gay if you haven't baked a souffle
>yfw bitches be all over your dick when you pull dat souffle outta da oven

No. Self-sufficiency is the most masculine thing possible. Being able to make food for yourself is part of self-sufficiency.

>>5167277
Real Men spend at least an hour's pay on something they could make in 20 minutes :^)

>>5167277
Real shit, I agree 100%!

I'm better at baking than cooking.
Chicks love desserts.

>>5167799

that's-a nice-a tiramisu

>>5167799
is that sponge fingers in cream

>>5167799
That isn't baking tho

>>5167829
That one isn't, but it can be. I make my vegan ladyfingers from scratch.

>>5167829
Yeah, what the other guy said. Not that one but I do bake.

>>5167819
Ye

>>5167864
i also bake, just prep'ed some pretzel dough
they should come out alright using this great dough recipy i found, it just needed some ajustments to fit what i needed ( man does it use a shit load of fat though)

>>5166461
>A friend of mine once told me that baking was actually the "manliest" form of cooking, since it's so easy to fuck something up and you have to be confident in your recipes, as random changes and substitutions can ruin everything.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of baking because of this, it's way too autismal and doesn't leave room for spontaneous experimentation. Only thing I'll bake usually is cookies and sweetbreads.

>>5168002
Isn't sweetbread usually fried?

>>5167935
here they are, they haven't proofed yet

>>5168030
this is my frist time making these thing, so im still perfecting my technique
>inb4 2 of them are monsters

>>5168010
Maybe, I'm probably using the term wrong, mainly stuff like banana, zuccini, and corn bread. I don't mind baking that sort of stuff and those are usually tolerant recipes for tweaking here and there.

>>5166443
Hey OP, I don't know about other people but I think baking is sexy as fuck for any gender.
>Using your arm muscles to knead dough
>Mixing batter with your arm power (without a stand mixer)
>Waking up to dat smell of freshly baked bread that your gf/bf just made.

Personally, a guy who bakes is a plus for me. Extra points if he's secure enough in his masculinity not to worry about whether baking is gay or not.

>>5166443
Bro I bake cakes, pies, brownies, whatever the fuck i wanna all the time. I'll stick that shit in the oven and go pump some iron while it's baking.

If you seriously feel less masculine baking a cake then you have security issues. And if anyone gives you shit about it, then don't let them eat your delicious treats. Luckily I've never had this problem; everyone loves my stuff especially my pies and I'm always sharing them.

>>5168002
You sound really gay.

>>5168119
fucking exactly, if some dude starts going" lol your a dude baking" Bake the fuck out of a brownie/cake/whatever and give them to everyone around you but him.

Bitches don't even know my secrets.
P.S. Its water

Do you have sex with men?
>if yes you're gay

Do you form romantic relationships with men?
>if yes you're gay

Cake has nothing to do with being gay.
>but if it did it would be worth it for the cake

>Is it gay if I'm a dude and bake cakes?

No, but it's gay if you bake cakes and then make threads asking if that's gay.

/thread

Nope, that'd make you a baker.

>>5166443
i dunno will baking a cake cause you to start craving cock?

Cake only has one C, and no O.

Not because of baking. No, you're gay because you're a pointless little faggot.

>is it gay if i prepare food that i need to keep living

no

>>5168039
>"Sweetbreads or ris are culinary names for the thymus or the pancreas especially of the calf and lamb. Various other glands used as food may also be called "sweetbreads", including the parotid gland, the sublingual glands, and testicles."

I believe this is what they were referring to.
The more you know, etc etc/

>>5167277
>Self-sufficiency is the most masculine thing possible

This, exactly this.
While it's also worth noting that you're a total faglord if you buy into machisimo bullshit (beards, bacon, PUA shit), pretty much any form of self-sufficiency or knowledge is gonna be a good thing. I feel like that goes for males and females alike.

Because really, who wants to date someone who can't take care of themselves and then some?

So go out and bake cakes, cook foods, learn some DIY shit. It only makes you a better person.
Just don't be cocky.

>>5166443
No, because you now have a vagina where your micropenis used to be. You're a perfectly straight woman.

>>5167864
are these cantucci? i bought them once and they are so delicious, but have like some much sugar

It's not gay only if you wrap your cake in a checkered napkin and bring it too work, then you eat it after you fell a giant oak.

Only if you suck dicks and take it in the shitter while it's baking.

>>5166443
OP is probably a troll.. But gay dude here, I don't bake or give a fuck about fashion design. Pretty much a bro, except I prefer to fuck dudes. Obviously not all gay guys are girly..

Guys op here, I kinda meant to ask something more along the eyes of "in societies eyes is it unusual to be a man and bake" I know that that wasn't at all what I said, so my bad, but yeah? I meant it more as a request for your observation, not your opinion on the observation , but again my bad I was drunk when I made the post.

>>5170495

No.

>>5166443

i'm afraid so... please report to your nearest gay enclave for some hot gay sex within 3 business days.

Anyone who has a problem with it is not worth knowing.

>>5166443
One thing has nothing to do with the other. Bake cakes and do it well! It's apprecieated, that doesn't male someone a flamboyant homo. Look at my mother, she was a professional doing that down in Miami, when white people were there.

She wasn't a homosexual.

My grandfather was a "master chef" in the army because his immigrant parents taught him how to boil water.

You caring if other people think that makes you gay makes you gay

>>5168513
Didn't know they have a different name, but yes they are biscottis
I made them thick the first time, but sliced it thin after a few times baking because I like them that way. They are addictive as hell, finishing them in one or two days.

If baking cakes is gay, then I'm a proud faggot.

>>5166807
>When I was 13, I would come home, bake a 9 inch cake, fuck the whole thing, and sleep for 12 hours.


top kek, fixed. btw. i love making cakes. i dont think men are gay who can do that. (you know how many bitches will fuck you for some cream cheese chocolate layered orange flavored cake?)
