Baking is MUCH more measurement sensitive than cooking. I don't measure anything when I'm cooking, I just add until I have a flavor I like, but when baking, you have to either be precise to the recipe, or understand baking enough to know how to alter the recipe, which most people don't.
To improve on a recipe you have to be able to repeat it consistently. That means measuring in grams and keeping records. I keep cutting back on sugar and butter until they can't be cut any more without ruining the recipe.
