The Baking System operates similarly to Cooking, utilizing several shared stations and tools to prepare complex baked goods such as pies and cakes.

Required Equipment & Tools:

Before you begin baking, ensure you have the following stations and tools available:

  • Cutting Board: Used to chop raw ingredients into specific components (e.g., slicing apples for pie fillings).
  • Prep Board: Used to assemble ingredients by hand, such as crafting dough.
  • Rolling Pin: Used to flatten and roll out prepared dough.
  • Mixing Bowl: Used to blend liquids, batters, and fillings.
  • Baking Mold: The container used to hold pie crusts, batters, and fillings prior to baking.
  • Oven: The essential heat station used to bake prepared molds into finished cakes and pies.

Preparing a pie requires a sequential process to build both the crust and the filling:

Baking a Pie (Step-by-Step):

  1. Prepare the Dough: Use the Prep Board to craft your dough.
  2. Flatten the Dough: Use the Rolling Pin to roll and flatten the dough.
  3. Form the Crust: Place the flattened dough into your Baking Mold to create the base crust.
  4. Mix the Filling: Use the Mixing Bowl to combine your ingredients into a pie filling or pie mix.
  5. Assemble the Unbaked Pie: Transfer the filling into the Baking Mold over the prepared crust. This transforms the mold into an Unbaked Pie, which acts as the raw ingredient ready for baking.
  6. Bake in the Oven: Place the Baking Mold containing the unbaked pie inside your Oven. Click the Oven to access its menu, select the corresponding pie recipe, and begin baking.
  7. Complete the Bake: Wait for the timer to complete, after which you will receive your finished pie!

Baking a Cake:

Baking a cake follows the exact same mechanical process as baking a pie, with one key difference: cakes skip the dough and rolling steps. Simply prepare your batter in the Mixing Bowl, pour it directly into the Baking Mold, and place it into the Oven to bake.
