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 over the measuring cups and left click to pour 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.
Fire Tending is the third and final step in baking. Using your mouse, click under the fire to keep the fire going. Keep the fire level in between the red and blue line. If the fire goes above the red line, your fire is too hot. If the fire goes below the blue line, your fire is too cold. The more you keep the fire level inbetween the line the higher quality rating at the end.

You have completed this step when the timer runs out.
After completing the recipe you selected, you will be shown your results for that recipe. 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 recipe, the number of times you have baked the recipe, your average quality score, and the best quality score you have had on the recipe. When you are done viewing this info, you can click "Summary" to return to the Congratulations screen or "Done" to return to the Recipes screen.
