@mw1525 I have no desire to use the cook with any ingredients mod but I recently installed Icemunmun's Baker's Basket from MTS and CCLoader and my sims are enjoying all sorts of wonderful desserts! I mostly installed it so that my bookworm, natural cook SS would have more recipes to read (I can't help myself when I am in a bookstore and see new cookery books and she's an extension of me, after all ;) ) which add to her book count because recipes are fast to read. It's also nice to have new plants for my green thumb sims.
Here's a couple pics from my test save.
