Hello, I am fairly new to making custom content for the sims 4, and this is my first time attempting to make a mesh in blender. I am following this tutorial here for context: (around 6:37 is where they start talking about uv maps/baking)
I'm trying to make stud earrings that have the same look and finish as these:

In the tutorial the person is making hoops, but I thought that it was the closest detailed tutorial I could find to make what I wanted to. I have the mesh completed, and I went through the process of making the UV map. I have a feeling that if its not the baking that I'm messing up, then thats where it might have gone wrong. For now heres a picture of what my screen looked like when I was done with it:

Where I felt like I got stuck when when it came to setting up my mesh for baking. I followed all the steps that they mentioned at this part. I transferred my mesh to blender 2.79 (I was in 2.7). I went to rendered shading, I set it to cycles render, and appended the material that was linked in the tutorial. I then clicked render layer. However after all that, heres what my screen ended up looking like:

and their screen at this step looked like this:

At this part I felt like I must've done something wrong, but I tried baking it anyways, following all the steps they mentioned. It did not change the way that it looked at all. Would anyone happen to know where I went wrong? I tried my best to put as much information as I could here about the steps I took, but if anyone needs anything else let me know.
Thanks!
