:D I'm so happy about this mod. Today I started my Introduction to breads course, and I'm so excited for it. I <3 bread. Good thing it's a food group. I also got my new textbook for most of my baking courses so that's exciting. Breads is my only class this mod which is nice, because now my nights can be filled with things other than studying. Like cleaning and sleeping and....making cakes for my own business. I have just decide to start my business so I am very excited. I am in the process of making business cards and a facebook page for it. I'd design a real website, but I'm not tech savvy enough for that. So I already have a few orders for cakes between now and spring so I'm encouraged.
Since it was our first day in class, Chef Hooker mainly went over the syllabus and proper procedure for class and such. But we did measure flour so that's something. There are also many different types of flour, which was our homework, to read about flour. We also we memorizing different conversions of weight and volume measurements. For example, if you've ever heard the saying "A pint is a pound, the world around," which I never did, it actually kind of makes sense. I say kind of because its not always true, and I don't understand the "world around" part. The saying refers to how sometimes, a pint is equal to a pound. This is only true with water, milk, eggs, and fruit juices. (Not fruit concentrates, because they are mostly sugar syrups).
I'm going to try and make this blog also a site for my cake business Margo's Kakes, but I'm gonna need some serious tech help. So until tomorrow...

Sounds like fun... How many types of flour are there?
ReplyDeleteWell, thats a tough question. There are probably HUNDREDS of different flours, but the most common in a bakery are:
ReplyDeleteRye, Whole wheat, Patent(bread), Clear, Cake, and Pumpernickel. Of course, there is also, rice flour, corn flour, almond flour and countless outers.
