I know my way around the kitchen, and have even taken home top honors in a PCMag office bake-off (okay, it was actually a tie). For many people, though, the idea of baking involves putting a sleeve of slice-and-bake cookies in the oven. Now I've got nothing against prefab cookies (or any cookies, for that matter), but the simple fact is they just can't compare with the real thing. And so for anyone out there that considers themselves baking illiterate, Pure Imagination now has an answer in the form of the $69.99 Perfect Bake. The Perfect Bake kit works with your tablet to tell you how to make hundreds of baked goods, and guides you through the process, measuring ingredients as you add them to a connected scale and automatically compensating for over-pouring. Baking is a pretty exact science, so the Perfect Bake isn't quite as successful as the Perfect Drink kit we tested. But this is still a fun, foolproof way for novice bakers to whip up hundreds of tasty treats.

Compatibility, Design, and Features

The Perfect Bake is compatible with Android 4.1 and higher, and iOS 6.0 and higher. That means you should be able to use it if you own an Android or Apple tablet released within the last couple of years. I had no trouble hooking it up to a third-generation iPad running iOS 7.1.
