Answer:
The creaming method in baking refers to the beating (creaming) of the softened butter and sugar to form a light, fluffy, pale cream coloured mix. This incorporates a lot of air into the mix, which helps to make cakes etc soft and light, and also helps to dissolve the sugar, removing any grittiness. Eggs are often beaten in immediately after the creaming stage, further incorporating air into the mix. Then the flour and riisng agents are folded in gently. Many different recipes use this method.
