We always scroll the internet before we begin with something new, especially while baking. Our never-ending research results in us reading guidebooks, watching videos and searching for tips and tricks. We all want our baked goods to look perfect and taste perfect. Many chefs and bakers hold on to the secrets of a perfectly baked cake. But don’t worry. We have a few little secrets to help you bake your cake perfectly. Â
Apart from having the necessary utensils and ingredients to set you off on your baking adventure, here are 3 tips that might help you:
- Presentation of food
Imagine entering a bakery. Do you remember how you gravitate towards the most aesthetically pleasing, or unique food item – whether a cake, pastry, cooking, cupcake, or brownie? At home too, how you choose to present your food will matter. Whip out your porcelains or favourite dish. Set up the baked item and add some garnishings like chopped fruits and nuts, and sugar dusting if required.
- Let the colours speak for itself
Colours generally add a vibe to our life. Different colours affect our psyche differently. The same colour psychology applies to our food as well. Do not be afraid to go bold. If you think that you want your cake to have 20 different colours, incorporate it. If you want your cake to look bright red or shiny black, do not hesitate. You can choose colours to tell a story or set a theme in your food. The visual aid with colours will automatically provide a sense of gratification and comfort to eaters.
- Add your own touch to the dish
Do not focus on making your dish look perfect. Make it personal. Add your own touches and details. Layer the cake with your favourite flavoured meringue or fresh fruits. You can add your favourite colour and flavour to the frosting. Add those swirls or curls or swipes, and make them perfect. Add fun flavours to the cake by giving a twist to the layers.
These secrets will help you have fun with your recipes.
