Other influences are iconic TV shows according to 14% of respondents, while almost one in five (16%) attribute their love of baking and cooking to a ‘needs must’ mentality.

The survey was conducted to explore the nation’s love of baking and the nostalgia associated with this. Findings revealed that many of us still retain strong childhood memories of baking – more than one in three have fond memories of licking the spoon as a child.

Among those surveyed who have children, a strong majority (59%) often take the time to bake with their kids, with a further 39% claiming that they plan to spend more time doing so. More than 70% of parents consider cooking and baking with their children as quality time together, while almost half (45%) believe it to be a life skill that should be acquired from a young age.

While more than 40% of people in Northern Ireland bake because they love to, interestingly one in three believe the true reward to be watching others enjoying their freshly baked goods.

Reflecting on her love of baking, Jenny said: “Baking has always been part of my life and I too have such fond childhood memories of watching my mother in the kitchen. I love nothing more than to spend an afternoon creating some really tasty delights but, as mirrored in the survey, for me the real satisfaction is seeing the look of delight in the eyes of friends and family as they tuck into my creations.”
