I'm a shiba who likes cooking and baking. Also I work at my parents' bakery. That's pretty much it! 🎂
Feel free to ask questions and I'll get to them as soon as I can!

How ferociously do mortals compete over their favorite activities? What I mean to say is it would seem Breel Milton puts as much, if not more, work into baking as you do. Do you feel threatened by him for this?
I wouldn't say threatened. I'm glad someone else is showing an interest in baking! Heck, I'd actually be pretty excited to meet him and share some recipes and tricks I've learned. The way I see it, cooking and baking are inherently collaborative. One is a form of art that you can not only feed other people, but takes pictures of and share around. There's a million and one food blogs about healthy and/or artistic looking dishes! Baking is much of the same. Sweet desserts or delicious pastries to give away to friends.
So no, I wouldn't say he threatens me in any way. I work hard to perfect my craft, and I'm not perfect. Maybe he's better. But I prefer to see that as a healthy challenge to meet his skill level, or an opportunity to learn from him.
Either way, booyah! ^^

Do you not fear me? Forgive my bluntness, but I could not help being curious. Every mortal with which I have ever conversed has displayed signs of adversity towards either me or my brothers. You offer to teach me in one of your arts. You are aware of what I am, are you not?
Well, it seems that you're some sort of immortal being, based on the fact that you're talking about mortals in a way that, well... signifies you aren't one. Regardless, you haven't really done anything to me, and you seem like you mean no harm, so no, I don't fear you! Who knows? Maybe in teaching you how to bake, we'll both gain a friend. And friends are good! Even potential ones.
I'm not afraid of you... but I mean, if you want me to be, then I can. :)

Among mortal pastimes, how difficult do you consider baking? I confess that it seems to be one of the more precise arts undertaken by you beings. Almost to the point I admire it.
Well, firstly, I'm honored by your almost-admiration!!
And second, to answer your question- it depends. If I'm baking a simple snack like a tray of cookies, it's just a matter of gauging times and ingredient ratios. If it's something a bit more complex, like (for me specifically) a souffle, then it takes a bit more attention. Everything has to be on point, or it won't rise correctly (or not at all!)
I'd be happy to teach you some recipes sometime! 😄
