Baking cakes is great fun; it's the reason why so many people do it in their free time and why some even go so far as to turn their hobby into a business. Different bakers enjoy different things; some love baking new recipes, some love creating new recipes, and some don't care much about the recipe at all so long as they get to take their piping bag to it in the end.
No matter what kind of baker you are, the one thing we all want is for our creations to be enjoyed and appreciated – and not just by the tongue.
