🎉 Baking Basics Final Challenge & Completion

Final Challenge Overview

You’ve worked through six modules covering ingredients, techniques, flavor, and presentation. This final challenge brings it all together. Your goal is to design and bake a multi-component creation that highlights your skills, confidence, and unique style. Think of it as your graduation bake — something that tells the story of your journey from novice to confident baker.

Challenge Steps

1. Plan Your Bake: Sketch ideas for a signature dessert or bread that combines two or more techniques you’ve mastered.
2. Prep & Balance: Plan flavors, textures, and timing for each component — the goal is harmony in every bite.
3. Bake with Confidence: Trust your instincts and adjust as you go — you know more than you think!
4. Plate & Present: Arrange with intention — color, contrast, and structure tell your story before anyone tastes it.
5. Share & Reflect: Invite friends or family to taste and offer feedback. Document your process with notes and photos to track your growth.
