Am I the only one who gets cravings when lockdown begins?

We are still only a few hours into this 2nd lockdown and already I want cake!

I rarely eat cake and I certainly don't usually get cravings for it (I do get cravings for crisps and occasionally chocolate though)!

I love to bake but always give away any cakes and biscuits as it invariably goes to waste but here I am craving coffee & walnut cake, or moist ginger cake or even plain sponge cake!

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Alioop Would eating apples work? I have a load and trying to think what to do with them.

Thanks Alioop, feel a bake coming on tomorrow.
I was also going to ask the same question as Marydoll, but I do have either sort.

I always buy cooking apples when going to bake them. Where I used to live there was loads of apple trees around and neighbours left bags of them on doorstep, I think as a hint lol, and I used them. Maybe some were eating, but again not sure. Hope you like them as much as we do.x

I love to bake but as there are only us two and no visitors i dont. We would both pig out and we both need to watch our weight. Such a shame as baking is such a nice thing to do and fills the house with wonderful smells. I dont even make mince pies any more as only i eat them, the kids can take or leave them, they would rather have something savoury. So now i buy just two from the bakery shop in our town and savour every bite. One i have with cream the other i eat by it's self.

I would like to go out to a lovely, old pub which overlooks the river, for lunch.

I would like to go out for dinner to somewhere Michelin starred, with white linen napery and handsome waiters with French accents.

I would like to sit in the dining room of a nice hotel, with a view of the sea and eat a ‘hotel breakfast’.

I would like to drink champagne somewhere beautiful.

A custard tart isn’t going to be the answer for me...
