So tired of sexism.

LOL, so Sorry! Happy belated birthday!!
These are just the tip of the iceberg, and only the ones that I had uploaded to Flickr. I'll flood you guys with more pics at a later time :)

WOW PoukieBear!!

Those cakes are gorgeous.

Now, please excuse me while I go check my blood sugar level.

Wow Poukie those baked goods look incredible! If they taste as good as they look they must be awesome!

Damn. I want me some of that. One of my Granddaughters looked to go pro as a baker for a while. decided to much competition and little reward unless you are top tier.
Find job just keep baking, grilling, and smoking. Your husband is a lucky man

I'm celebrating the BIG 5-0 next month!!.. Could you jam one of the beautiful cakes in an oversized envelope and ship it to the Mid- Atlantic??

Hey PB do you ever wander into a chocolate/pepper combination with the baking? Something like brownies or fudge.

You could challenge guys. Bake some innocent-looking cookies with some slow-to-hit pepper like habaneros or ghosts. Watch the guys take a bite and say "These aren't hot" while you silently count to 30.

I haven’t tried that yet. I’ve only tried a “hot” chocolate bar once in a fancy chocolate store. It was definitely tasty! Although it wasn’t something i considered doing myself.

I’m doing a big party in a couple of weekends, I’ll consider doing this and see how people react.

Those pictures cannot possibly be real. Nothing can look that good.

All I can say is that same thing others have already said: "Wow!!"

Those look incredible Poukie. I need try dessert one of these days. I have a bad habit of going into a major food coma inhaling the main course after it comes off the grill, or smoker!

I confess that my baking addiction was started with the gateway drug, Jiffy cornbread mix. So easy to make that it's fool proof, and fools have proven it.

Now I make savory cornbreads or even just simple pop-open biscuits, and none of my male friends do any kind of baking at all.

I don't like the term "womens' work" because it suggests that it is beneath a man's dignity to perform tasks like cooking or cleaning. The flip side of that is the origin of this thread, complaining about the assumption that it's above any woman's capability to run a smoker.

For a bit of humor, there is the saying: "Men will cook when danger is involved."
