Baking is extremely scientific, but you don't have to be a scientist to do it. Food science is a field of study you could pursue or take classes in, and you could check with your local community college to see if they offer cooking or baking courses. Listen to a lot of baking tutorials and recipes on youtube, you can learn a lot of great tips that way. I found a handful of videos about "blind bakers" that bake for a living, and a ton of videos about "blind baking" because that's what it's called when you pre-bake a pastry crust.


I also agree that practice is a really good idea. Making boxed cake, cookie, or muffin mixes is a great start, and can help you get the hang of using your oven if you're not used to it. Otherwise I recommend finding simple recipes to practice with. Look for beginner recipes for cakes, cookies, biscuits, or cinnamon rolls. If you want to use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients with, there are talking scales that will read the weight to you.

I would check hadley.edu, they have videos and monthly meetings on zoom about cooking.

Are there baking versions of meal kits to get you started and practiced with skill building

Do some sort of course, I guess. I make cakes and stuff. It's totally possible. Maybe find someone who would take you on as an apprentice?
