The art of baking is a fundamental skill.
I bake cakes when I am sad or stressed out. The most common baked item is bread. Do you bake other things besides cakes? I like to bake cupcakes sometimes. So, historically women would bake in the home, but men would bake in bakeries and restaurants. Have you ever baked outside the home? Im not that good but I do try to do the fancy cakes you see on Pinterest.
The art of baking remains a fundamental skill and is important for nutrition, as baked goods, especially breads, are a common and important food, both from an economic and cultural point of view.
