Kansas residents spend over 18 hours baking during the holidays, a survey of 5,000 Americans split evenly by state found. Tennessee bakers are the most confident and rate their skills a 7.4 out of 10. California and Wisconsin bakers are more modest and give themselves a 5.9. Residents of Montana are most likely to give a baked good as a gift. “From gifting cookies to loved ones to baking brownies for cozy movie nights, creating treats together is one of the sweetest ways to celebrate the season,” Eric Mills of Pillsbury Baking said. Which holiday baked good is the national favorite? 22 states selected pies, and 17 picked cookies. 34% of all Americans leave baked goods out for Santa Claus. (swnsdigital)
