I can't believe that after so many years baking hasn't been turned into a base game skill. It's ridiculous that wedding cakes from MWS, pies from Cottage living and several desserts from base game are still under the gourmet gooking/home cooking tag. It's messing up the immersion so badly.
I mean, tons of other stuff from packs have been turned into BG, I don't think baking skill would harm anyone - quite the opposite! I have GTW and I know I would prefer it... I mean, there's much gameplay left in the game pack to justify making one skill BG, right?
I think there should be a whole rehaul already, the recipe system is quite messed up as it is at the moment.

This topic is fascinating, because a new thread with someone venting about it shows up like every couple days.

I agree they should make it a base game skill and actually MOVE a bunch of the cooking/gourmet cooking recipes into the skill which most certainly belong there.
They could leave all the GTW recipes as still exclusive to it in the GTW pack, and add some kind of entrepreneur skill that makes running a business easier as you get skill ranks to keep the number of pack-exclusive skills the same. We should have had some kind of business owner skill in the pack in the first place.
