It doesn't take having a special gift or a magic touch to work wonders in the kitchen. The secret is practice, practice, practice.
Some people seem to be able to toss things together and achieve wonderful results.
This is a skill they achieved by many years of cooking and baking. Be sure you have all the ingredients called for and that you understand the recipe clearly. Baking demands accuracy and care. Unlike other kinds of cooking, such as soups or stews, you usually cannot improvise or substitute ingredients. Never carry on another activity while you are mixing a recipe.
