Baking

I’m doing baking as a Capstone project as I have very minimal experience with baking, just the basics that everyone knows such as cookies and cakes. My love for baking started when I was in middle school, and I was still in 4-H. The members of the group were able to choose different subjects to do projects on, and you would do these projects on your own to submit to the fair that they held on the Albuquerque fairgrounds. My first year I had decided to do baking and cake decorating. While a lot of

While pursuing my Associates Degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from The Culinary Institute of America I was introduced to numerous working kitchen environments that were entirely new to me. The rigorous curriculum that proceeded throughout the course ensured that going into the industry I would have the knowledge and techniques required to be successful in any potential work environment I may take on. Being able to work quickly and multitasking were greatly stressed by my chefs and are two skills

During A.I.T one of the jobs taught to us was how to bake a cake from scratch. It may seem difficult at first but after a few attempts it will become like second nature.

be if the amount of baking soda is substituted with an equal amount of baking powder in a standard chocolate chip cookie? Knowledge Probe Scientific Knowledge: From previous experiences with baking cookies we are aware that if you accidentally use baking powder instead of soda, the cookies will increase in thickness and will result in a sponge-like texture.

Baking Literacy My experience baking extends back to when I was four or five years old and I would “help” my mom bake chocolate chip cookies. These cookies have always been a signature dish of my mother’s and they are delicious. A couple of years later I remember baking an apple crisp by myself while my mom was making dinner but close at hand just in case I needed help. From these early days of baking, I learned to follow a recipe with ease and bake almost anything I wanted to that our home kitchen

The Effect of Amount of Baking Powder in a Cup of Cookie Dough on the Diameter of the Cookie In this experiment, I investigated the effect of baking powder on the expansion of cookies. To experiment, I made a large batch of cookie dough and then added different amounts of baking powder to each cup of dough.

allows you to directly approach a problem rather than being abstract about it. Baking Club, just like Middle-East Politics Club, is exactly that – a practical solution to a real world problem. While Middle-East Politics Club tackled Muslim discrimination (a broad, intangible force difficult to combat), Baking Club is my personal response to a recent policy change at our school which banned bake sales. Essentially, Baking Club is my mass-scale, educational, and delicious solution to the ban. We exchange

Baking is an art that may seem simple, but is actually fairly complex. I’m not talking about buying a box of Betty Crocker cake mix, adding some eggs, water, and vegetable oil, and sticking it in the oven. I’m talking about real, from scratch, tastes-like-your-grandmother-made-it baking. Baking is a very precise form of cooking. It is important to measure every ingredient carefully and pay close attention to the steps in the recipe. That being said, baking does not have to be boring. Once you grasp
