This is definitely one of my favorite songs on Waitress. The way Jessie puts her emotions into singing this song, is just beautiful. Also, the meaning behind this song is actually tremendously sad. But it says a lot about the Character Jenna and her mother. It's heartbreaking, yet so motivating, in a way. Props to Jessie and the cast for belting during this show, and of course Sara to writing the songs!
I'm having a musical marathon in quarantine. I've been through; Heathers Dear Evan Hansen Waitress All Starkid again Hamilton And I've probably missed a lot, but whatever.

When I saw the show on June 4, when this song started, I had to blink and tell myself to focus and just listen and watch because I was trying *not* to hear "Door Number Three," haha! This is the song from the score currently stuck in my head.
Probably? I didn't see the pre-Broadway run of Waitress at A.R.T., but I suppose "Door Number Three" was unneeded due to the inclusion of "You Will Still Be Mine" with Earl, and there needed to be a song further explaining Jenna's reason for baking (as a connection to her mother, creative outlet, and escape from the negative aspects of her life).
+Avi DePano (heyfilipinogirl) Oh. I haven't seen both though cause I'm on the other side of the world. Haha. Well. I've seen only the movie and yes I'm with you. I do thought also that Door Number Three was unneeded and What Baking Can Do is a further explanation of Jenna's reason for baking. :-)
I agree about the fact that this song has more meaning for the book of the musical than Door Number Three had (I saw the Broadway one first and then the Off-Broadway one and was kind of disappointed that the relationship with Earl and her mother weren't explained well). And fortunatelly they changed it: it has become my favourite song of Waitress!
This is late but a group of actors from Starkid and Shipwrecked (if you know you know) have done these shows called Shitty Broadway and one of the girls did exactly that! I promise you it's every bit as good as you imagine

Okay, I am sorry, but I have to point out that the phrase isn’t “borrow within”, it’s “burrow with in”. That makes sense, “borrow” doesn’t. And this might just be a case of not realizing that there are two slightly different words that sound very similar as opposed to one word with multiple meanings. Awesome video!
If this musical starts gaining popularity just because of colleen I'll be disappointed because honestly it deserves love because it's actually good and not because some famous girl got to it. No Offense to Colleen like she kewl but this is gonna bother me
Right, so the next time I go to America I'm going to have to try Pie because before this I thought it was just cake with a crust or savoury like Lasagna or Sheppard's Pie - which is not pie. It's not that big in the UK so it should be interesting to try. Maybe something chocolate-y.
Literally what are you on about??? Sweet pie is available in the UK. Apple pie is a classic British pudding and was long before it became an American staple. Go into any supermarket or bakery in the UK and you'll find loads of sweet pies.
@@keylimelucaful yeah no, those aren't the same. And sure there is apple pie but it's not all that common. It's available at McDonald's but people I know barely eat it outside of there. You don't order pie for dessert at a restaurant either. Maybe ice cream or brownie. If the place is more American than you my be able to get it with ice-cream
Having own patisserie is dream I will never fulfill. Partially because I don't have money or support of my family for that, partially because my health problems force me to limit sweets (in fact I shouldn't eat them at all)
her mom was is a bad relationship with her father and was never able to leave him a lot like her relation ship is like with earl. they both never walked out of those toxic relations ships and her mother passed away before she got the chance to ask her why she stayed in a bad situation. EDIT: they both spend their time baking to take their minds off their bad relation ships. they bake goodies for the people in their lives that ask too many personal questions about what their life at home is like. also baking helps them seem like cheerful people so no one suspects how awful their husbands are. they only stay married because they needed their husbands money to take care of their children.
I'm obsessed with the music! However, I have to say it sounds like they threw a whole bunch of verses from different songs together. Maybe it's just cause I haven't seen the show, but still, it just doesn't sound right.

I sing way too passionately to this for someone who doesn’t bake
Lol
Same
I sing way too passionately even tho I can’t sing🤣
It's a year later and I would like to inform that I bake often now
@@PurpleSugar13 yay!

This makes me want to start using baking as a coping mechanism tbh
I do it helps so much
It helps a lot actually
Same.
same lol
@@JulietteVeronica1201
I 100% agree. I guess it just goes to show that it's amazing what baking can do.
Best song written about Pie or food EVER! And Sara manages to make it sooooo sweet.
Well, it's written about pie, so what would you expect?
My heart jolted when she sang this part 1:30 .
Wan Nur Dalila
I exclaimed, "Oh my god yes" out loud when that line came on
Wan Nur Dalila my favourite bit of the whole song.
Wan Nur Dalila for me it was 1:00 ish
Mine was when she sang "butter" at 1:01
For me it was 0:52 and 0:56
Aaaaaand yup. I have fallen into another musical layer of hell.
Honestly I'm not even mad
same, i need to stop lmaoo
I'm having a musical marathon in quarantine.
I've been through;
Heathers
Dear Evan Hansen
Waitress
All Starkid again
Hamilton
And I've probably missed a lot, but whatever.
That voice, that song, and that picture make my heart want to explode.
Her voice is absolutely amazing
I think you can hear the sarah barielles style in this song more than all the others combined
"What Baking Can Do" is a song from the musical "Waitress" performed by Jessie Mueller (Jenna). Music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles.
Make it work
Make it easy
Make it clever, craft it into pieces
Make it sweet
Crimp the edges
Or make it sour and serve with lemon wedges
Even doubt
Can be delicious
And it washes off of all the dirty dishes
When it's done
I can smile
It's on someone else's plate for a while
I'll place it on display
And then I'll slice and serve my worries away
I can fix this
I can twist it into sugar, butter covered pieces
Never mind what's underneath it
I have done it before
I'll bake me a door to help me get through
I learned that from you
Mama, it's amazing what baking can do
Make it up
And surprise them
Tell them all my secrets but disguise them
So they dance on the tongue
Of the very people that they're secrets from
Make it soon
Make it better
Though, better never lasts forever
I'll make it small so it fits . . . .
Even this . . .
Even now . . .
Even as the walls come tumbling down
Even as I can't stop remembering how
Every door we ever made, we never once walked out
Something I never got the chance to ask her about
So with flour on my hands
I'll show them all how
Goddamn happy I am
Sugar, butter, flour
Don't let me down!

Thank u!

I bake for myself... Does that mean I literally eat my stress? Because I used baking to calm myself
literal satan
1) great name
2) huh?
Yes. But don’t worry, ever since I got into it I’ve also been baking (and eating) my feelings away.
Yes
Cezanne Polar *desserts
Cooking, baking has always been therapeutic for me. You’re a gem💎. Just make sure to balance it out with the gym! 💪🏽

What Baking Can Do Lyrics from Waitress the musical
0:49 best part 😍
I'm guessing she rewrote Door Number Three into What Baking Can Do? There is the same phrase of music in both songs.
Yes but I don't understand why DNT was being replaced maybe because of it's lyrics?

What if Mrs Lovett sang this while baking her 'special' pies?

This is late but a group of actors from Starkid and Shipwrecked (if you know you know) have done these shows called Shitty Broadway and one of the girls did exactly that! I promise you it's every bit as good as you imagine
I made a pie today and had this stuck in my head the whole time
Tbh, In my own opiniom i think that Jessie was the best Jenna

excelent
Everywhere I look lyrics say "make it better" but I swear it sounds like she's saying "make it bitter" which would make sense
Risa Mae she is saying bitter
Okay, I am sorry, but I have to point out that the phrase isn’t “borrow within”, it’s “burrow with in”. That makes sense, “borrow” doesn’t. And this might just be a case of not realizing that there are two slightly different words that sound very similar as opposed to one word with multiple meanings.

What's the story behind this song?

What scene is it and why are you singing it?
Can someone explain to me what she means by, "I'll make it small so it fits"?
metropolan I think it just means the thing shes making bc in the play I’m pretty sure she hold up a small baking tin
She was holding her belly during this part IIRC i think she meant she'll make it look small, she'll do whatever it takes to hide the baby.
I cany wait to hear this from colleen!
Colleen doesn't play jenna so she won't be singing this on stage, maybe a cover would be amazing though!
