Baking in Songs of Glimmerwick transforms simple ingredients like Flour into restorative foods that boost your mana and offer unique bonuses. While some recipes are great for turning a tidy profit, others can surprisingly drain your resources if you’re not careful with your ingredient choices.
You’ll start with basic Bread as soon as you gather Flour, but more advanced recipes require seasonal ingredients you’ll discover over time. Knowing which items to bake and sell is key to making the most of your time and Petals in the game.
How to Bake in Songs of Glimmerwick
Start by gathering Flour, making sure your Watering Can is filled with water, and find a fire to cook your dough. This is the core setup you’ll need before jumping into any baking recipes.
Step 1: Get Flour
There are two main ways to obtain Flour:
- Buy Flour from the Miller: Each bag costs 20 Petals, which is handy if you want to save time.
- Produce Flour yourself: Buy Wheat Seeds for 20 Petals each and grow your own Wheat. To process it, purchase the Wheatmill schematic from Wisk’s Practical Practice shop for 650 Petals.
Step 2: Make Dough
Once you have Flour and water in your Watering Can, drag the Flour onto the can to convert it into Dough. It’s a straightforward step but essential before baking.
Step 3: Add a Baking Ingredient
Step 3: Add a Baking IngredientDrag a suitable ingredient onto your Dough to make specialized dough types. For example, adding Dandelion creates the dough needed for Dandelion Bread. Plain Dough alone will bake into simple Bread without any extra ingredients.
Step 4: Bake the Dough
Take your prepared dough to any cooking fire. Interact with the fire and place the dough into the cooking slot. Wait for it to finish baking before removing the food from the slot on the right.
Important: Don’t right-click to consume your food unless you want to eat it. Remove it without using the consume action if your goal is to sell the baked goods.
Do not right-click the finished food unless you want to eat it immediately. Take it out without using the consume action if you want to sell it.
All Baking Locations
You have several cooking fires available to bake your dough across the world, including:
- The Etchery – Common Room
- The Etchery – Library
- The Etchery – Garden Shed: Unlocks after completing the Ghost Treasure quest and paying 1,000 Gold Petals.
- Wisk – The Cup & Kettle

All Baking Recipes, Effects, and Profits
Baking recipes vary with the seasons in which you can find their ingredients. Each recipe is listed with its selling price, the effects gained from eating it, and an estimated profit margin based on the costs of ingredients.
Understanding profit: Profit is the selling price minus the combined cost of Flour and any special ingredient used. For example, if Dough costs 20 Petals and the ingredient costs 10, and the final product sells for 50 Petals, you net a 20 Petal profit.
These calculations don’t factor in the 40% skill bonus you may earn. For just plain Bread, only Flour’s cost is deducted since no extra ingredient is needed.

What Happens to Flour Sales During The Cursed Mill?
When the Cursed Mill quest begins, the Miller stops selling Flour and Wheat, blocking normal ways to acquire these ingredients.
To lift this curse:
- Follow white footprints to locate the Miller’s goblin hiding on the beach.
- Obtain the Melody of Stones after freeing Codrin from the fairy ring in the Ochre Woods.
- Secure an Ungrowth Potion to enter the mountain area.
- Proceed with the Cursed Mill task to break the curse and restore Flour sales.
Once the curse is lifted, the Miller will resume selling Flour, allowing you to bake freely again.
Alternative Ways to Make Money With Food
Baking isn’t your only option to profit from food items. After completing Acorn’s quest, you gain access to a Pickler to create Pickled Fruit Medley from blackberries or winter berries.
While berries sell for about 10 Petals each, the Pickled Fruit Medley sells for 49 Petals, yielding approximately 39 Petals profit per berry before costs.
Other items like seaweed and certain shells can be processed into Pickles of the Sea with similarly good returns. If you have a Pickler, it’s worth comparing these to your baking profits before diverting resources.
