BAKE-1013Cakes
Cakes are often served as a significant part of a celebration. Understanding cake mixing, baking, and assembly are essential skills for bakers. This course applies the essential principles of the production of cakes, including the preparation of base cake recipes and appropriate fillings, frostings, glazes, and decoration including piping. In a lab setting, students will follow formulas to construct cakes while using a variety of ingredients, mixing methods, and finishing techniques suitable for presentation in a retail bakery operation. Students will have an opportunity to work collaboratively to prepare and assemble a specialty or occasion cake. They will be evaluated through daily performance and theoretical and practical testing.
