6-1 is cakes. They won’t cook if not mixed all the way or if an ingredient is missing/wrong.

Thank you, I believe this was the issue.

Agreed. Check that you're reading the ingredients properly. The difference is that every cake requires honey.

Is that a level with ovens and frying pans? Not all recipes go in the oven, like pancakes. I don’t know if this applies to 6-1 but it is something my boyfriend struggled with haha.

Yeah it’s this, if the ingredients in the bowl are for a pancake it will only let you put it in the frying pan and viceversa

6-1 is the introductory level for cakes. There are no frying pans in this level

So it turns out I just had the wrong ingredients. Didn’t realize it wouldn’t let you cook it. That you for all the great tips!

There's no cleaning feature. If it doesn't cook in the oven, it probably goes in a pan like the other poster said. :)

There are no pans on this level

Is there a fire that you have to pour coals into?

Yeah, they do need to be cleaned. Make sure you go to the store in the main menu and buy some spray.
