From whipping up midweek batches of cakes and biscuits to making our own pizza on Friday nights, Aussies are more than happy to get creative in the kitchen. SWEET TREATS: Lisa Grech-Staehr from Sweet Disposition Cakes at her Keswick home. Figures from News Life Media reveal more than half - 55 per cent - of Australians bake at least once or more a fortnight, with Sunday as the most popular day to bake at home, more than likely scones, cakes and banana bread. Baker and wedding cake designer Lisa Grech-Staehr from Sweet Disposition Cakes has noticed amateur bakers taking both a nostalgic and daring approach to baking at home. "People are definitely moving away from packet-made cakes," she says. You see more people trying old-fashioned methods with classic ingredients, or having a go at really tricky recipes inspired by celebrity chefs. Baking is a year-round obsession, too, and at this time of year we turn to making edible Christmas gifts - also a great way to keep the kids entertained during school holidays. Baking can be a really fun activity for kids, especially when it comes to the decorating part. I know that's what my kids love most," Lisa says. Australia Day is also a sweet baking holiday where we bake the classics - lamingtons, pavlovas, slices and scones - while we love making our own hot cross buns at Easter.
