The behind-the-scenes bit nobody asks for but should !
1. Photograph every cake , it’s so nice to look back and see how far you have come as we don’t skways appreciate how we started to where we are now.
2. Always weigh out all your ingredients rather than using cups, as you always get consistent results, this is a must in baking.
3. When delivering a cake I always make sure it’s in a flat surface the footwell or the boot and drive slowly, it’s like having your most precious possession in the car, air conditioning on, I always arrive frozen 😊.
4. Always taste test all your bakes even tried and tested recipes, perks of the baker , when I used to bake for a coffee shop the staff always loved the chef share when trialing new products.
5. Really important one always double check ingredient labels even if you have used the same product for years in case of any changes, in fact sometimes I triple check.
6. I always check my oven temperature in case oven is running hot.
7. Prepare tins in advance as this is a time consuming job and it makes things run so much smoother on the big baking days and it just makes me feel so much more organised.
