Baking is the kind of hobby that most people have tried at least once. Whether they were forced to participate in a bake sale at work or at school, or just spent a Saturday afternoon with some boxed cake mix, trying to make Thomas the Tank Engine or Frozen cupcakes complete with rice paper decorations and edible ball bearings. With that said, now that The Great British Bake Off has been required viewing for a number of years, it's fair to say that the popularity of the hobby has only increased.

It seems like these days in particular, you can't check Instagram without getting updates on at least five different sourdough starters, along with seeing the culinary creations of friends you didn't even know owned a whisk. More people than ever are spending their afternoons whipping up meringues and creating towers of dainty macarons or, if they're trying to be more down to Earth about it, tirelessly slaving over the perfect seeded loaf.

Baking is a pretty harmless hobby, except for when it causes the occasional flour shortage in the supermarket or arguments over who is going to wash up the bowl of the stand mixer - but there is a dark side too. The truth is, everybody thinks they have what it takes to be an expert baker - even you!
