~~NOTOC~~
====== Baking ======

Do you know how to bake? Well you should. It's incredibly useful and easy. Not that that should really be a selling point, but unfortunately to the modern world it is. One of the great things about baking is that once you get used to ratios, you can start tweaking recipes to your own tastes. The important thing to learn is that each item (cake, biscuits, pancakes, etc) has its own key ratio of basic ingredients, and from there is infinitely modifiable. Here's a list. Generally from the easiest to the most complex.
