What is your favourite and least favourite thing about baking?

My favorite thing is the process and how everything comes together. My least favorite thing is distractions. I love to have the whole kitchen to myself and not have anyone snooping around.

Oh gosh, I HATE the clean-up. It stresses me out so badly that I usually avoid baking, and just buy bakes goods

I love the process of measuring and mixing ingredients but cleaning up afterwards is definitely a chore. Especially anything butter covered.

I thoroughly enjoy searching for new recipes for cakes or cookies or pies, but I intensely dislike being disappointed that the reality of the baked item did not live up to the expectation I had. This happens all too often.

I like the homemade taste of baking and knowing what’s in what I’m making. And my least favorite thing is definitely the cleanup. I think it’s the worst.

My favorite thing is that it is soothing and relaxing to go through the process of making a new food. My least favorite part is how time consuming it can be.

I love baking because it feels relaxing. I think my favorite thing about it is the joy from other people when there is something delicious that is around to snack on, or the way the kitchen gets cozy with the smell of fresh bread or cookies or whatever I'm baking that day. I think my least favorite thing is that it gets eaten so quickly lol. I kind of wish there was a way that it could all last longer without having to double the recipe. While I realize this is unreasonable, it's still how I feel.

Like I don't want people to have to eat less, I want them to be able to have however much they would still want. But I would love if it could be around to snack on for another little bit.

I didn't even think about that! This would 100% be my least favorite thing as well. I find it pretty upsetting when whatever I've baked doesn't turn out for whatever reason.
