Yess I understand, but you don't have to eat it out there, just cook. And you can also barbecue during winter, just have to keep the snow off...ever made a turkey on BBQ? Delicious!!
Cuire is for cooking and baking, so it depends really on what you want to say. ex. J'aime faire de la pâtisserie, J'aime faire du pain, ou faire cuire du pain.
Baker can be patissier or boulanger.
Actually, shamsia, on the MICC site, you can find some links and also french excercises/tools to help you learn. Feel free to pm me if you want to practice a little bit.
