I really enjoy baking as a creative outlet because: - Projects are always short, ranging from ~30 minutes for really simple cookies to ~2 days when ingredients need to rest at an intermediate state for extended periods. - You have to work within constraints (whatever you consider delicious), but you can incorporate basically anything edible into a project, so there's a lot of room for creative expression. - Coworkers, neighbors, and casual acquaintances react really positively when you bake too much and give away the overage.
