Almost a cook, not yet a baker

I like baking, but I don't know enough to call myself a baker yet. I like the fact that you can follow directions, make a mess, and then eat the results. It's a pretty low stress hobby. The ingredients aren't usually expensive (except maybe nuts) so if I mess something up or it just tastes bad I can throw it away without feeling guilty. My plan is to keep track of my baking adventures and see how much I learn. I'd like to start cooking my way through a book when I have a little more time.
