[quote=Anonymous]There are a ton of bad bakers, most of whom don't know they're bad bakers. The problem is that people mix chocolate, fat, and sugar together, notice that it tastes good, and think they're a genius. Mediocre baking is incredibly easy, which lures you in, but good baking is pretty hard. IMO, the most common mistakes people who think they're brilliant bakers but aren't make are: - Over mixing delicate batter - Making cloying desserts (too much sugar relative to other balancing flavors) - Drying out the baked good - Thinking the way to solve dried out baked goods is to serve undercooked batter - Adding in too many ingredients when they're modifying their own recipes. (If you're thinking of making chocolate maple walnut butterscotch mint bars, remove two or three of those things) - Not preheating the oven correctly / Opening the oven door too often/for too long to check on your food - Too much frosting/toppings - Not using a scale [/quote]
