PART 1: BECOMMING A MASTER BAKER

This goal of this is to help get from Level 1 [newbie baker] to 
Master Baker with minimal expense. If I recommend that you not make a 
paticular dish, it is mostly just something you should do while you 
are learning the trade. I recommend starting baking at around 
experience Level 1.


Dish 1: Edible Goo
Most other FAQs may tell you to put anywhere between 5 and 20 points, 
in a skill to start out...
If you're lucky, there will be both Giant Rats and Fire Beetles in you 
newbie area. If this is the case, I'd put only 1 skill point into 
baking, and make Edible Goo until it is trivial. Edible Goo is the 
only dish that you don't have to spend money on, so you can save those 
valuable skill points for more important things. Edible Goo will get 
your skill up to the mid 20s.
You should also save all Snake Eggs and Bat Wings that you get.

Dish 2: Clump of Dough
Once Edible Goo becomes trivial, Clump of Dough becomes trivial. Since 
Snake Eggs are really hard to come by and Clump of Dough is very 
important to becoming a master baker, I do not recommended making 
Clump of Dough until after it is trivial, so that you don't waste 
ingredients. Put all Clumps of Dough that you make into the bank and 
save them.

Dish 3: Steaks & Crunchies
Once Edible Goo becomes trivial, I'd move on to steaks and crunchies. 
To minimize expense, I'd recommended making either Bear Steaks or Lion 
Steaks. If you can't kill bears or lions yet, stick to making any of 
the Crunchies [Batwing, Bixie, or Candied Spider.] Don't make Wolf 
Steaks [unless you are making them for an event.] I'd also skip the 
Beer Braised stuff, since the alcohol is just an added expense. 
Regular steaks should get you skill to somewhere around 50.

Dish 4: Other Races
If you have a decent supply of Dark Elf Meat, Dwarf Meat, Halfling 
Meat, High Elf Meat, or Wood Elf Meat, you can use the dishes based 
off these races to get your skill up some more. I'd avoid the Gnome 
Kabobs, since the skewers are just an added expense. This will get 
your skill up to around 60.

Dish 5: Fish Fillets
If you have not done any fishing before, now is a good time to start. 
Fill up a backpack full of Jugs of Sauces, buy a Fishing Pole, some 
bate, and go fishing. If this is too slow and you don't mind the 
extra expense, just buy this fish and sit around making Fish 
Fillets. This will get your skill you to the mid 80s.

Dish 6: Fish Rolls
In East Commons, buy a bunch of Bat Wings [or buy stacks of the off of 
the newbies] and do some more fishing, to make Fish Rolls. An 
alternative, is to make Cookies, but unless there's an important 
event where you need cookies, I'd stick to the Fish Rolls. This should 
get up to to Master Baker.

Now that you're a Master Baker, it's time to pull out all those Clumps 
of Dough you've been saving and start baking the more complicated 
dishes.

PART 4: OTHER TRADE SKILLS & Baking

BLACKSMITHING
Blacksmithing can be used to create most of the tools that a baker 
will need. Although, it is perhaps one of the most expensive skills to 
learn, it does have a decent profit potential [which nicely 
complements the low profit potential of baking.]

BREWING
If you're in a guild with people who have a high alcohol tollerance, 
they'd probably enjoy the Beer Braised steaks that you can serve. 
Also, a lot of receipies are best served with some time of alcohol. If 
you tend to the baking for guild events, spirits can complement the 
dishes that you serve.

FISHING
Fishing is used to catch fish. It's a useful secondary trade skill 
among bakers, especially if you have a spit. You can stand around 
fishing and if you catch something toss it in the spit and cook some 
fish steaks.

POTTERY
A few recipies can only be made with the help of pottery. Pickled 
Froglock and Pickled Gator both require a jar, which must be made by 
a potter. [Jars become trivial somewhere around skill level 40.]
Dwarf Chops, Fish Head Soup, Rabit Stew, and Vegetable Soup all 
require a Pot. Rabit Stew and Vegetable Soup can only be made if you 
have the forage skill or are being supplied with the ingredients. The 
Mixing Bowl, which is is the most important potter-created item, can 
be bought from merchants [at least that's how I got mine.] Cookie 
cutters, tins, cake rounds, smokers and skewers can also be made by 
smiths.

TAILORING
It doesn't directly complement baking, but if you're hunting animals 
for their meat - tailoring will give you something to do with all 
those otherwise useless animal skins.
