There's not a lot of comments in this example. Instead, there is a decent amount of clean code that shows you how it's done. Also consider reading http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp

cls
[xml] $xmlLog = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <Bakery_Inventory><x /></Bakery_Inventory>';

# Generate Run Details
$xmlRunDetails = $xmlLog.CreateElement("Run_Details");

$xmlTimeStamp = $xmlLog.CreateElement("TimeStamp");
($xmlTimeStamp.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Year"))))).psBase.InnerText = Get-Date -UFormat %Y;
($xmlTimeStamp.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Month"))))).psBase.InnerText = Get-Date -Format %M;
($xmlTimeStamp.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Day"))))).psBase.InnerText = Get-Date -Format %d;
($xmlTimeStamp.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Time"))))).psBase.InnerText = Get-Date -UFormat %T;
$Catch_Output = $xmlRunDetails.AppendChild($xmlTimeStamp);    # Catching the output seems necessary to keep PowerShell from dumping information to the screen
$Catch_Output = $xmlLog.Bakery_Inventory.AppendChild($xmlRunDetails);

$xmlCookie = $xmlLog.CreateElement("Cookie");
($xmlCookie.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Name"))))).psBase.InnerText = "Chocolate Chip";
($xmlCookie.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Path"))))).psBase.InnerText = "Assembly Line 1";

$intCounter = 1;
$xmlSample = $xmlLog.CreateElement("Random_Sample");
$xmlSample.SetAttribute("ID",[string]$intCounter);
($xmlSample.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Oven_Name"))))).psBase.InnerText = "Bloodgett_1";
($xmlSample.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Chocolate_Chip_Count"))))).psBase.InnerText = $(New-Object System.Random).next(1,10000);
($xmlSample.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Diameter"))))).psBase.InnerText = $(New-Object System.Random).next(1,10000000);
$Catch_Output = $xmlCookie.AppendChild($xmlSample);

$intCounter += 1;
$xmlSample = $xmlLog.CreateElement("Random_Sample");
$xmlSample.SetAttribute("ID",[string]$intCounter);
($xmlSample.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Oven_Name"))))).psBase.InnerText = "Bloodgett_1";
($xmlSample.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Chocolate_Chip_Count"))))).psBase.InnerText = $(New-Object System.Random).next(1,10000);
($xmlSample.AppendChild(($($xmlLog.CreateElement("Diameter"))))).psBase.InnerText = $(New-Object System.Random).next(1,10000000);
$Catch_Output = $xmlCookie.AppendChild($xmlSample);

$Catch_Output = $xmlLog.Bakery_Inventory.AppendChild($xmlCookie);

$xmlLog.Save((join-path -path $(get-location).tostring() xmlBakery.txt));
Get-Content (join-path -path $(get-location).tostring() xmlBakery.txt);

The output is this:
