Default Bake it off

What moron made up the phrase, "Bake it off"? Bake it off of what? I
know what it means, but it sounds stupid. The first time I heard it
was when I started working in a bakery. I was told to break out
(another stupid term) some pies and bake them off. Why couldn't they
just say bake these pies? I've noticed Paula Deen says it a lot on
her shows. Is there a difference between baking a pie and baking off
a pie? I know for me, either way, they're going to come out just the
same.
