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.
