What is your favourite and least favourite thing about baking?

[Inge van Tonder]

Favorite thing: to see the end product and it turned out great!
Least favorite: the dishes! Always so many dishes!

I love mixing different ingredients and that smooth batter is satisfying. But honestly, I hate the temperature and time variants of the oven or microwave, slight difference it will mess the whole thing up.

My favorite part of baking is experimenting with new, difficult recipes. My least favorite part is cleaning up the mess.

My favorite thing about baking is the anticipation of how good it is going to taste.

My least favorite thing is how it actually tastes.

Home baking is awesome as decorations and tasting is a personal choice but market bake has no room for perfection.

The period where you are changing the recipe up to make it perfect up to your standards and you make a bad batch and not you have to eat it. And it doesn't taste good.

My favourite is when I bake something successfully and everybody enjoys. My worst is cleanup after the whole process.

My favorite thing is being able to share my baking with other people. I also enjoy baking with another person because it keeps you more precise when both people know the steps and when there's a lot of stirring involved you have someone to half the effort.

I don't enjoy the clean up, but especially with sticky batters. I also sometimes will spend so much time in the kitchen that for some reason once the baking is done, I don't feel like eating anymore. That usually resolves the next day though.
Also when a recipe flops it can be very disheartening, especially when you don't know what you did wrong.

My favourite part is eating the baked foods and the sweet aroma that comes out of the oven while the pastry is baking, and my least favourite thing is cleaning up

[Cheryl Erickson]

My favorite part is that first bite of whatever I have made. I also love to see other people enjoy my goodies. The worst part is hand washing all of the bowls, pots, and pans. But sometimes, my sweet husband cleans it up for me since I spent the time shopping, preparing, and baking.

[Meenahhhh]

Hmmm, I hate when you find a new recipe you're excited to try, and it turns out badly.

[Grace Mwalili]

Icing the cake is my favourite but I hate cleaning up after that

[Christabel Egbeama]

I love everything about baking except one, which is dish washing. The sticky batter on the pan... Ugh, don't get me started.

[Frank Mutuma]

Cooking is always fun, until doing the dishes. After baking the kitchen is always a mess for me

[Leasa Ana Maria]

I like the process but I hate doing dishes.
