Bake a Cake to Celebrate
It's hard to celebrate in full unless somebody puts the baker's cap on and bakes up a cake. You don't have to work in a patisserie to be a great baker. Go ahead and give it a go--bake an all-time favorite pastry for friends and family to enjoy.
Cake Baking for Fun
If you're looking for a bakery creation that contains no fat, make an angel food cake. Baking this spongy cake is fairly simple: It requires only egg whites, cream of tartar, sugar, flour, salt, and whatever flavor of extract you choose. If you're not concerned about fat, only flavor, no one will complain about eating a cheesecake. The filling here is cream cheese, cottage cheese, or ricotta, mixed with eggs and sugar. A popular item at any bakery and every party!
If you're baking for a morning celebration, try a coffee cake. Although this pastry doesn't usually contain coffee, it's great alongside a steamy cup of it. For a seasonal patisserie delight, bake a fruit cake, using whatever tasty fruit is in season at the time. From cherries to blueberries, these cakes will cause guests to thank the baker every time.
Cake Baking for Profit
Professional bakers take cake a lot further than their home-based counterparts. Wedding cakes for the rich and famous are edible works of art and can cost up to $50,000! Naturally, this requires very specialized training found in baking classes at highly-regarded culinary schools. Whether you're aiming to be everybody's favorite party baker or if you'd like to turn loose your inner professional artist, cake is a surefire way to win.
