When baking (I do specifically mean cakes and the like, not your average pasta-based dinner), do you measure things out exactly, or wing it?

I might wing it when cooking, but baking can be an exact science so I always measure accurately.

[frayed_11]

measure, just one thing slightly off and you have dense, flat cakes or soupy messy cookies. no thanks!

I measure, but then I cook very rarely, so I need to follow a recipe to get anything eatable in the first place.

I measure exactly while baking when it comes to the base recipe and then sometimes wing it when I'm adding things of my own to make it fun. Like, the base cookie dough will be exact, but I'll wing the amount of dried fruit or chocolate I might add.

This sounds much like me.

As exactly as I can, unless it's something minor like adding more vanilla extract.
