Assuming OOP does infact just microwave poptarts and relies on other ready-mades, I don't think they have all the necessary equipment for baking.
I just think it's a tougher place to start in because while you get exact measurements, there's more nuance and less room for improvising.
I tried baking something (pigs in blankets) for the first time after having cooked for years. If you are not fully prepared for every micro-disaster that can strike during dough making, your life will be hell. Cooking pasta only has the prerequisite of knowing how to boil water, and reading the time for how much to boil the noodles.
You can follow the instructions on bread, quantities and time to bake, and yet there's still stuff you have to account for and know from experience.
