It sounds nice. I thought of "cook", and although "bake" is nicer, it still has that feeling of a long process. I was trying to find something else that would appear less like a long process and more like the lightweight step before the process is final.

The context we need to keep in mind is

    pull >> build >> stage >> $NAME >> snap

Which is a bit of a hard corner we've put ourselves on, in terms of terminology. Ideally we cannot use a term that conflicts with the feeling of build and stage (bake does that a bit), nor can we use anything that looks too final ("finish", etc).

Something like "apply", or "arrange", or "prepare"... "apply" is actually interesting. It is lightweight, not final, and gives a feeling of using something that was done before it. It would also fit well with "reapply" and "unapply", for the other ticket.
