Baking is a way for you to bake cookies for the community, or even bake cookies for yourself using the objects you can find around Pixie Hollow. To bake cookies, you simply need to visit Dulcie's Kitchen in Neverberry Thicket.
Community Baking allows you to practice your skills in baking. All materials needed to craft these items are courtesy of the baking shop, so there is no need to look for them.
Personal Baking allows you to bake cookies for yourself, which you can eat in the Wilderness to restore your Pixie Dust.
Bake Cookies
To begin baking a cookie, you need to select a recipe to use. There are 10 Recipes to unlock overall. To begin, you will only have 1 recipe, but as you complete recipes new ones will be unlocked.
Each recipe on the Recipes screen shows you the recipe number (up to 10), an image of the recipe, the name of the cookie, and a progress bar telling you how far you have progressed with this recipe. The small magnifying glass will show you more information about the recipe upon clicking it.
Aside from the information that you get from the recipe page, this will show your the ingredients you need, the amount of this cookie you have baked, your highest quality score for the recipe, your average quality score on the recipe, and the steps involved to make it. To return to the list of recipes, simply slick the "x" in top right hand corner. When you have found the cookie you like, click the Make It! button to begin baking.
Steps
There are three steps to baking, each being a small mini game that you must complete to continue. In the end, you will be scored with a quality rating judged by certain aspects of each mini-game.
Mixing
Mixing is the first step in baking. Move your mouse back and forth to mix the bowl. The faster you move your mouse the faster you mix. There will be a speed meter showing you how fast or slow to mix. The more you stay in between the lines of the meter the higher your quality score will be at the end.

You have completed this step when a message pops up saying you are done.
Pouring is the second step in baking. Using your mouse, move the measuring cups and left click to pour some batter into the cups. Try to fill the cups up to the line without going over. Filling the cups accurately and finishing with time left will give you a higher quality rating at the end.

You have completed this step when you have filled each of the cups up to the line or when you run out of time.
Spider stitching is the fourth and final step in tailoring. Help the spider stitch the pieces of material together by left clicking the screen when she is over the leaves. When the spider swings towards a leaf, a circle will appear around it. Be careful not to miss this circle, you only get once chance for each stitch! By releasing the mouse button when the spider is closer to the center to the circle, you increase your quality rating.
On 19 December 2008 this game was updated so that stitches are sewn when the mouse button is released. Prior to this date stitches were sewn when the mouse was clicked.

You have completed this step when you have finished the last stitch in the pattern.
After completing the pattern you selected, you will be shown your results for that pattern. This screen will show your quality score, which is calculated by taking your scores from each mini game and putting them into a percentage, and an updated progress bar. To see more info about your results, you can click the Details button at the bottom.
The game details page gives you more information about your overall quality score. This page shows you the quality score you received for each step in the pattern, the number of times you have created the pattern, your average quality score, and the best quality score you have had on the pattern. When you are done viewing this info, you can click "Summary" to return to the Congratulations screen or "Done" to return to the Patterns screen.
