Baking began as an ancient art practiced by Egyptians over 13,000 years ago using dried fruits, nuts and honey. It has evolved to become both a trade good and a means of bringing people together through gifts and acts of goodwill. Baking provides benefits such as stress relief, opportunities to share happiness with others through homemade desserts, and using one's talents to brighten someone's day with a thoughtful, personalized gift.
