What's hilarious to me: I'm a baker, but I don't cook. My kids were taught by my late husband to cook, but I really can't cook much. So I get it -- baking is totally different from cooking. And baking is competitive in a way that cooking isn't.
Also, I often had a secret ingredient, which often was booze... and whether that got into the batter or the baker (or both)... I'll never tell.
One can get creative in baking, but it requires learning the chemistry in baking. You have to know which ratios and ingredients are absolutely required and why. And especially temperature & time and how your particular oven behaves
It’s about a lot of details
The biggest problem in baking is that if you screw it up, there is no fixing the burnt batch, unlike cooking where you can throw in some sour cream and call it stroganoff
That was a literal LOL post … except the first “L” was more of a “Mmwwwahahahaha” kind of thing.

i'm a good cook! I just hate following instructions and baking is 90% following instructions.
