Answer:

Baking in the oven, Kaleb thought the cake smelled great.

Step-by-step explanation:

Misplaced modifiers can produce confusion when reading a sentence. In this case it is not clearly understood that Kaleb is baking the cake. He could be talking any other cake.

The correct way would be:

Kaleb was baking in the oven, when he thought it smelled great.

OR

Kaleb thought the cake smelled great when baking in the oven.
