Suddenly the doorbell rings and the dear relatives show up on the mat unannounced.
Or the kids rush into the house, a horde of new friends in tow, all hungry and looking for a treat.
And then there are the spontaneous moments when you think a piece of cake would be just right.
Oh yes, and who hasn't forgotten a birthday or anniversary and then has to conjure up a sweet surprise in no time?
In such moments, improvisational talent is required.
Of course you could run to the nearest bakery and raid the display, but homemade still tastes best.
And with the right recipes up your sleeve, it's not rocket science at all.
