"Home-made-Cake-voucher" as Christmas-Gift for my parents - a good idea? (i m a grown up person)?

Question

my parents have everything they need and i dont want to get them something uncalled-for. So i thought something to eat would be nice, because it will not be around forever & bc I like to bake...
But then i thought: it is Christmas, and everyone already has so much stuff to eat, cookies, leftovers from all the feasts etc.

SO my new idea is, to give them a voucher, so they can "order" 5-6 cakes which i will make for them during the next year.
do you think this is a good idea? they like sweet stuff a lot. But i am already 27 years old, am i too old to make such vouchers (I remember, as a child I used to give them "I-ll-clean-up-my-room-vouchers and such...)
also, how many cakes do you think i shold include in the voucher? is 6 an okay number? or does it look cheap or lazy?

Yes it is.  It doesn't matter what your age or if you're an adult or not. That is a lovely idea.

Hmmm...All that is your choice, but why would you offer something you don't like to do?  Does that make it a 'better' gift, because you don't like to bake?  Sorry if I speak out of my ___.

Why not give them a voucher for a few nice meals, catered by you?  Cakes are fine, but not having to make dinner for a few nights could be a lovely gift to receive.

If you do go with the cakes idea, I think 6 would be reasonable.

Better to have something they enjoy rather than something they need to keep around in fear of hurting your feelings.  6 cakes is more than enough, that is one every other month.
