When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Not if it is for certain cakes (e.g. Dundee cake), which are best several days (even weeks) after baking. Food can be "freshly made" in a factory, miles away from where it is bought.

housemade or homemade
We always used to say "homemade," whether the food was baked, cooked, etc. in someone's home or in the commercial establishment where it was sold. A distinction has emerged, however, but I don't know if it's a change over time or a regional difference, since I have moved.
In any case, "housemade" and "homemade" are both correct and both widely used for your purpose, but if you want to draw a very clear distinction, then use "housemade."
"All the pastry that you can buy in this shop is particularly tasty because it's housemade."
"Stop in for lunch and enjoy sandwiches on housemade bread, soup, sandwiches and salad. All bakery items are made on premises."
