[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baking is a science. Very different from cooking. Hardest part in baking is following the recipe. Folks want to throw in adjustments and haven’t mastered the recipe first.[/quote] I used to work with a woman who loved to bake but always "tweaked" her recipes. Her tweaks always involved additives, usually alcohol but also often fruit or extracts. She clearly did not understand that when you add that kind of thing, you have to make adjustments to other ingredients because they will make the dough too soft otherwise with all the extra moisture. She also just added a crap ton of alcohol to things so that's all you'd taste and it's too much. People raved about her baked goods but I truly think they were just drunk. I was politely complimentary but rarely ever finished more than half of anything she brought in.[/quote]
