This is a wonderful response! And it is sure to stop the asking.

I've had a problem with people asking me to bake for them--pumpkin bread, cupcakes, chocolate cake, brownies, etc. It is irritating. I do have the time, but I don't want to. They can usually do it for themselves but just say they don't "know how". Come on...KIDS... in the states learn to bake--usually they can put together easy brownies by 12...--even without a mix.
