The other day, I thought I smelled cake.  Today, it's brownies. Does this sound like there's an unlying chocolate problem?  LOL.  The cake I've smelled twice now.  What is going on?  LOL.

@qualitygal    Maybe a nearby neighbor is baking (???)

I think it means it's time to lock up the liquor!  😁  

You know, some believe that when you smell a scent out of the blue for no particular reason is because someone that has passed on is visiting you.

Wishful thinking???

Do you drink flavored coffee?

An opened bar of chocolate nearby?

A scented candle?

There is such a thing as phantosmia, phantom smells.

Those smells of brownies and cake sound delicious. We lived not too far from a Nestles plant when I was a kid. The smell grew more heavenly as we drove closer to it. Memories are attached to such smells.

This happened to me when I was pregnant!

Could it be because you had 'a bun in the oven'?

This happens to me all the time.  Somestimes it's cookies baking, chicken roasting or the scent of my deceased father's pipe tobacco.  I just enjoy the aromas and don't dwell on it.
