Baking people have a specific kind of energy. Patient, precise, and at least a little bit in love with flour.
Measuring things properly matters to them. Dough gets to rest when it needs to. Timers get set. When something goes wrong, they figure out why rather than giving up and ordering food. And while the bread is rising or the cookies are cooling, a good pun feels like exactly the right thing to say.
This list has seventy-five of them, all baked in.

Send one while something is in the oven. It makes the waiting easier and the person on the other end will almost certainly ask what you are baking, which is usually a pretty good conversation to have.
