I believe the answer is:

pancake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
(pancake is a kind of food)

'quietly removing wrappers from fancy baked' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'quietly' could be 'p' (p for piano and quiet) and 'p' is found in the answer.
'fancy' could be 'cake' (I've seen this before) and 'cake' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'an' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pancake that I've seen before include "Emergency landing" , "fall flat?" , "Thin round cake eaten on Shrove Tuesday" , "Flat fried cake" , "Flat delicacy popular on Shrove Tuesday" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
