Best books to learn Cookie & cake baking, in order

Baking is chemistry with a timer, so the reading starts with fundamentals, how flour, sugar, fat, eggs, and leavening actually behave, and why measuring matters. Then it moves to reliable technique across cookies and cakes, and to frosting and finishing, and finally to troubleshooting the failures that teach the most. Understand why a recipe works before chasing new ones, and your results stop being a lottery.
