Baking is a juggling act. This means organising everything from your ingredients to forward-thinking your way through the stages of the recipe.
2)Attention to detail
Accuracy is important when it comes to baking. It is a precise science and the wrong sort of raising agent or incorrect oven temperature can create problems.
3)Co-ordination
If hand-eye coordination doesn’t come naturally to you, you can learn with practice.
4)Patience
Many of us are guilty of wanting to skip to the next step when undertaking the more tedious elements of a baking recipe. It takes patience to ensure that things are done to a high standard in baking, the most common examples being whisking, creaming and mixing.
5)Creativity
All dessert recipes that we know and love have been invented by cooks and bakers looking to bring something new to the table. Having a flair for baking means knowing what flavours work well and being able to experiment successfully using your technical know-how.
