[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for the suggestions for local charities -- I'm going to look into those and reach out to find out when/what they will take and see if I can arrange that regularly to scratch my baking itch.

I am afraid to do the teacher's lounge donations or do lots of baked goods as gifts because I have heard too many people talk about how much they hate being given these sorts of foods as a gift or having it around their workplace if they are trying to watch their intake of certain foods. I used to work in an office where my officemate would complain about this almost daily Halloween through New Years, and also anytime people brought a treat back from a vacation, because she really struggled with not indulging when it was sitting right there. So I try to be very careful to never give unsolicited baked goods. Our friends know I love to do it and will often request something when they host us and I've even had friends ask me if I would make their kid's birthday cakes if they buy the ingredients and I've done that a bunch of times. But I won't just give baked good to someone unsolicited because I worry they will either resent it or just throw them away.[/quote]

I think most teachers would be thrilled for high-quality homemade baked goods to show up in the lounge.[/quote]
I don’t know about real life, but teachers on DCUM often say they throw homemade treats away.[/quote]

Teachers get lots of home baked gifts and have the same issue you do at home.  Most end up in the teachers lounge and then tossed though the thought is appreciated.[/quote]
