Baking, unlike cooking, is about adding measured amounts of ingredients to create a chemical reaction. That is why the ratios are so important for example if you add too much liquid to a cake mix that liquid will turn to steam, which needs to escape from the cake, leaving the middle of the cake cracked and risen.
My Mam gave me a good piece of advice with regards to recipes, if you want to experiment with a recipe try it exactly as it is written in the recipe first and then the next time you make it adjust it to your tastes and you will see, smell and taste the impact of your changes.
Make changes with the flavours but be careful of changing the basic chemistry needed.
