BakeMySweet is a baking‑focused website sharing approachable dessert recipes, step‑by‑step tutorials, and honest recommendations for tools and ingredients that help home bakers succeed. The priority is maintaining reader trust through clarity, accuracy, and integrity in every post.
How Content Is Created
- Original recipes: Most recipes are developed, baked, and tested in‑house to ensure dependable results, accurate measurements, and realistic timing. Testing notes, substitution options, and troubleshooting tips are included based on real kitchen trials.
- Research and citations: When referencing baking science, temperature/time safety, or ingredient behavior (e.g., protein content in flour, cocoa types), reputable sources are used and details are verified before publishing.
- Updates: Content is periodically updated for clarity, accuracy, and seasonality. Material changes (like ratio or method updates) are noted within the post.
Use of AI Tools
AI tools are used selectively to improve workflow (for example: brainstorming outlines, grammar checks, structuring FAQs, SEO suggestions, summarizing reader questions), not to replace human creativity, testing, or editorial judgment. All content undergoes human review for accuracy, usefulness, and brand voice before publication.
- Human‑in‑the‑loop: Content is reviewed, fact‑checked, and edited by a human to confirm originality, accuracy, and trustworthiness.
- What AI does not do: AI does not make final recipe decisions, approve health/safety claims, or publish unedited content.
- Transparency: If AI plays a significant role in a specific article (beyond light editing or idea generation), a disclosure is included in that post.
Editorial Standards
- Accuracy first: Recipes aim to be clear, replicable, and safe. If an error is identified, it is corrected promptly with a visible note.
- Experience matters: Posts include testing notes, “why it works” explanations, and process tips to demonstrate real‑world baking experience, in line with Google’s E‑E‑A‑T principles.
- Reader feedback: Constructive feedback is welcomed; recipes are re‑tested when needed and instructions clarified.
Advertising & Sponsorships
Display Ads: BakeMySweet monetizes via display advertising so most content remains free. Ads are served by third‑party partners that may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver relevant ads and measure performance. Ad placement does not influence editorial decisions.
Sponsored Content: Collaborations with brands may appear as sponsored posts. Sponsored content is clearly labeled at the top as “Sponsored” or “In Partnership With,” and reflects honest opinions and hands‑on testing. Partnerships are limited to brands aligned with site values and reader interests.
Editorial independence: Advertisers and sponsors do not control recipe development, testing outcomes, or editorial conclusions.
Affiliate Links
Some posts include affiliate links to ingredients, bakeware, tools, or books that are genuinely recommended. If a purchase is made via these links, a small commission may be earned at no additional cost. Affiliate relationships never affect recommendations or testing methods. Affiliate links are disclosed within relevant posts.
Product Reviews & Recommendations
- Products are recommended only after hands‑on use or credible evaluation against meaningful criteria such as performance, durability, availability, and value.
- If a product was provided by a brand for consideration, that fact is disclosed in the article.
