I'd Like To Learn To Bake

I love to bake and make all kind of desserts. I also love to eat them. :)My advise is that you can start with one of this cakes like Betty Crocker. You just need to add water or milk, butter and egg. Put on the oven and that's it. Then you can search more elaborated recipes. Good Luck!

I'm sorry I don't have tips because I'm just a beginner like you. What I usually do is watch videos online about making cake. I would love to learn more about baking because it is really fun and enjoying.

Hi Beingwell, long time no see you here...From my own experience, it is not hard to learn how to bake if you are really interested with it. I learn to bake from my mother. You need to find yourself a very basic baking cake recipe, which is considered as plain cake recipe. It is the easiest cake to bake for me. After a few times hands on training, i am sure you can bake very delicious cake in future, too...

Hello there! We are so the same... we are so into Baking 101 hehehe. I came across your post because i was making a research about the basics of baking. I was hoping to find tips and easy-do-it-yourself cakes that way I don't have to enroll in baking classes or culinary schools. I simply want to learn the basics so I can bake my own cake. Indeed you are right. Cooking and Baking seems a fun way to spend our leisure time plus it is also a good stress-reliever especially when you smell the aroma of the cakes and of course taste them, too. I am so glad you made this post. I will be reading the responses here and get some points, tips and websites where I can gather more information and recipes about baking. I hope you are now enjoying your "baking adventure." I am also looking forward to my own "baking journey." I hope someday I can also contribute some tips but for now I will simply learn as much as I can and for sure I am going to enjoy this newest quest of mine. Have a good day and happy mylotting! :D

Hi! How is the baking going? What have you done so far? Do you think you might take a course or two?

I love to bake cookies,cupcakes,and cakes.I suggest you get those pre-mixed cake thing and start from there.They have instructions in the back so it shouldn't be that hard.i also suggest you watch tutorials online or a baking show on tv

My only tip is until you become comfortable with baking, follow the recipe word, for word...once you get more comfortable with baking, then you can try to experiment a bit & find what works for you.

Sorry dear but baking I have not really mastered. Nevertheless at least I tried and have good success with banana cake. I think they are the easiest to bake. But I want to know more than just baking banana cake nevertheless I think I should enroll in a Baking class to be a real success. As for now I can't share any good tip to you but only a slice of cake.

You wrote this several months ago and I did not catch it. Hope you get to see my post here. My oven went out when I still had kids home. We got on the internet as the holidays were approaching and had to save for a new stove with oven. So we went online and found this recipe for cake made in a cup. My kids loved the recipe because they each got their own cup and got to decorate with frosting of their choice and decorations. it became a seasonal favorite. Thought you might like the site we used too http://www.grouprecipes.com/72684/microwave-cake-in-a-coffee-mug.html

I'd also like to learn to bake, but I found it is very difficult and complicated makes me just wanna buy ready made cake or order to bake cake, hahahaha lazy huh but I think it's only for pro in baking cake if mr it will be disaster cake that I bake!

Hi! When I started baking a couple years ago (thanks to Cake Boss), I started with some simple cakes and buttercream and 6" circular pans (three for a standard box cake mix). Most of the supplies can found at either Wal-mart or Michaels. Also, look on the internet and see what you will need to make buttercream and how long it'll take to make it. Take a look on Allrecipes.com and perhaps Facebook (Megan Roundtree who was on The Next Great Baker helped me). Some cakes will only take a few hours and some considerably longer so plan carefully. After a little experimentation (might want to give your friends and family some warning and ask for their imput), I found which flavor buttercreams went well with each cake flavor. Then my husband kindly bought me a kit that had all the tips/ accessories that a beginner would need so I was able to become a little more artistic. I also took a cake decoration class at Michaels so see if there are any cake decoration classes in your area. With each cake, I find myself getting a little better and learned what flavor and decoration went well with another. So, I would say give it some time to develop your skills and set realistic goals for yourself. Perhaps watch the cake shows on TLC, see what you are able to do, and give it a try; simple decorations. Do expect a few bombs as your skills develop and have good back-up plans in place. Hope I didn't ramble too much for you and was able to be of help. I love baking and trying something different with each one. Happily the supplies don't cost an awful lot and you can get going for about $100 (kit, sugar, eggs, etc). Have fun! Sarah
