The Art of Cake Making

The Art of Cake Making The Art of Decorating Cakes ChaptersWhere Can You Find Cake Decorating Courses?How can You Become a Cake Decorator?Where Can You Find Cake Decorating Supplies?Inspiration for Your Cakes: the Best Books, Website and Social Media FeedsHumans have been making and eating cake pretty much ever since we went agrarian and, along the way, gave some pretty strange names to the baked goods made of wheat; kaka and placenta among them.Kaka is the Old Norse word for cake from which our word derives and ‘placenta’ was used in Ancient Greece to describe sweet baked treats.While we have a hard time imagining anyone offering up slices of placenta at their next big do, it is quite common to serve a lavish cake at special occasions â€" say, a party to celebrate the newest addition to the family.Today’s cakes are mostly calorie bombs loaded with butter and sugar; the icing tends to be especially rich.Those are a far cry from the cakes of yore, which were more like bread than what we identify as cake today. Perhaps that is wh y this next phrase is so often misunderstood:Let them eat cake!This phrase is both incorrectly translated and attributed, often to Marie Antoinette but actually recorded several years before she came to prominence. There is no proof she ever spoke that line, no matter how cruelly history has rewritten her deeds.Besides, whoever spoke that immortal line did not mention cake but brioche, a pastry-like bread whose high butter and egg content make it both fluffy and rich â€" and decidedly out of the reach of the peasant farmers of the day.Modern-day proof that brioche could never be considered cake is waiting for you at your nearest hamburger restaurant where, following the current trend of cutting back on enriched white bread, you may choose between a regular or a brioche bun.Maybe they’ve done away with regular buns altogether.Which type of bread your sandwich is served on aside, there is a staggering variety of cakes for us to discuss and explore â€" we’re not talking about a lay er cake (typical for birthday cakes) versus tiered cakes or wedding cakes, here.All of these fall under the header of ‘cake’:Butter cakes: Victoria sponge and pound cakes are examples of suchSponge cakes: made without yeast; examples include angel food cakes and GenoiseChiffon cakes include oil in the batter, making them extra moistCoffee cake uses yeast, baking powder or baking soda; they may have a glaze drizzled onYeast cakes: eastern European babkas are a perfect example of suchFlourless cakes: cheesecakes, flourless chocolatesChocolate cakes: can be flourless, sponge, chiffon or butter cakes whose primary flavour is chocolateYou’ll note that, so far, the discussion has centred around cake â€" not a bad topic in itself. But we’re concerned with decorating all of those yummy cakes with the many different types of icing â€" buttercream and fondant, royal icing and meringue.Quickly now, before we’re unable to control our drooling, let’s lay out all you need to know to b ecome a sugar artist.

You may consider taking a course in cake design at your local cooking school Image by Steve Buissinne from PixabayIf you want to do things conventionally, you will want to find cake decorating classes, preferably an entire course rather than a one-off or an afternoon session at your local bakery.You may find such classes at your local university under the header of ‘culinary arts’.If the school nearest you has such a degree programme, you would have to follow their plan, which encompasses everything about cooking, to get to the relatively small segment that deals with pastries and cakes.To enrol in such a school, you will have to have sat your GCSEs and A-Levels in subjects pertinent to cooking and food, and earned satisfactory marks on both.Should your town have a cooking school â€" an institute dedicated to teaching and mentoring budding chefs, you may see if they offer cake decorating classes. That will save you the time and expense of earning a university degree.There are oth er ways to learn how to decorate cakes; we’ve covered them all in our full-length article on the subject.How can You Become a Cake Decorator?Think of some of the greatest minds in history: da Vinci, Turing, Einstein... yes, even Julius Cesar, who was a brilliant military strategist. Did any of these innovators base their brilliance on years of academic study?Sometimes, the best way to learn is to blindly forge ahead.Some people would say that the best way to become a decorator of cakes is to buy cake decorating tools, icings, gum paste and food coloring and see what you can do with it all.Others â€" more prudent learners, advocate for tutelage in the sugar arts. After all, piping bags and decorating tips cost money, to say nothing of the icing sugar and all the eggs you need to whip up a meringue buttercream frosting... You can practise your cake decoration skills you learn in school on cupcakes at home Image by congerdesign from PixabayPerhaps the happy medium would be to straddle the line between formal lessons and learning on your own.After all, cake decorating is an art form; isn’t it well-known that artists may take direction and instruction but must ultimately rely on their intuition to create standout pieces?And, once you can confidently create novelty cakes and speciality cakes; as soon as you have mastered cupcake decorating and making cake pops seem like the only answer to a sweet tooth craving...Whether you work out of your kitchen at home or share space with your local baker; even if you trade only on weekends or take only special orders, you need to find out how to market your skills as a cake decorator.Where Can You Find Cake Decorating Supplies?Indeed, before you can experiment with an airbrush set, edible glitter or ganache shaped in a silicone mold, you have to actually have these things in your possession.Your local supermarket likely has a few cake decorating supplies: sprinkles and dragées, for sure. You may even find a set of decorating tips and a piping bag and if you’re really lucky, a straight spatula. Offset spatulas, the one tool no cake decorator can be without, will be harder to find in a common grocery store or even a bargain store such as Poundworld.It is great that you wish to support your local grocers rather than rushing to your computer and ordering everything from Wilton â€" the top-of-the-line merchant for all things cake.If you’re just starting out in your cake decorating venture, you can surely find all of the ingredients â€" the eggs, milk, butter and sugar; possibly even food colouring at your local shop. For more specific ingredients, such as those needed to make gumpaste flowers, you will certainly have to have a supplier on speed dial.One way around that stumbling block is to work with your local baker. You could ask who their supplier is â€" maybe a local wholesaler?Come to think of it, your local baker might sell professional-grade decorating tools and, who knows? They might commission you to make a few cakes for their display case.I don’t like going online; I would rather be personal â€" Luisa D.Not everyone dashes for the computer to see what is available from the top-rated vendors and find discounted rates; today, the trend is to shop local. Wouldn’t you like to support your local businesses when you stock up on cake decorating supplies? Why not talk with your local baker about cake decorating tips and possibly showing some of your creations? Image by Free-Photos from PixabayInspiration for Your Cakes: the Best Books, Website and Social Media FeedsIf you are like the above-quoted Luisa, the Internet is not your go-to source for everything. In this day and age, some might find that remarkable but we’ll bet your librarian is more than happy about it!For some, a library is a quaint repository of outdated resources: books. For others, it is a treasure trove of information and inspiration â€" are you such a one?If so, you may find back issues of periodicals and even entire books on the topic of cake decorating.Among the many benefits of using books as a source of inspiration for cake decorating is that they usually include step-by-step instructions, along with helpful hints on how to achieve a particular colour or type of decoration.All Hallow’s Eve is just around the corner; the perfect time to serve up a spooky trea t in orange and black!Now is the time to head to the library or consult your cookbooks to see what you can whip up to mark the day. While you’re there, you might even look at a few Christmas-themed cakes to get some cake decorating ideas for the upcoming celebration.Whether you are planning a sheet cake (slab cake) decorated in cheerful red and green or you want to decorate cookies in keeping with the season, you can find a host of ideas at your local library.That doesn’t mean there are no resources available online for you to draw inspiration from; all you have to do is know where to look.Some people get into cake decorating for the money they could earn and others keep their eye on the prizes they might win (did you know there are sugar arts competitions held worldwide?) while designing and decorating cakes that seem to defy gravity.We daresay every sugar artist indulges their creativity with every cake they decorate, making our world both sweeter and more appealing, one slice or cupcake at a time.

However, make sure they're still learning the language they need to speak every day! To avoid cognitive difficulties, it’s a good idea to find a balance between teaching them English and focusing on gaining proficiency in their mother tongue.Here are some of the commonly-held linguistic misconceptions: New studies have shown that when you learn a new language, there are no negative effects on any other language acquisition. You can therefore read stories in English to them if you want. Before you know it, you'll be reading them Harry Potter.Sing songs and nursery rhymes to them in English, too! This will always help them to learn. Since children are always trying to get their parents’ attention, they’ll love the positive feedback they get when they speak English.By encouraging your child to practice English words and phrases daily, you’re giving them everything they need to learn the language and gain fluency and become an English speaker.

Peppa Pig’s always a good idea for very young children as the language involved is very simple and anyone can follow the story.We wouldn’t recommend screens for any language learner under 2 years old. However, given how popular these devices are nowadays, this might be unavoidable. Parents should try and limit how often their children are looking at screens and favour interactive games over videos when they learn a new language.There are plenty of digital games, DVDs, and board ga mes for teaching young children new words and English language skills whether it's their first language or they're trying to learn a second language. There are also English workshops for young children in primary school. A group of children can get together to sing, play, read, and speak in English. They’ll not even realise they’re learning because they'll be having far too much fun!What’s The Best Age to Learn English?Scientists used to believe that it was better for a child to master their mother tongue before moving on to their second language. However, if you learn a language after 7 years of age, it’ll never be your mother tongue... The sooner you learn a language, the better. That doesn't mean a child older than 7 can never learn a foreign language, it just means they won't learn it the same way as they do their native language.You needn’t work as hard if you learn from a younger age. Motivation is key when it comes to learning English but isn’t enough if the activ ities aren’t adapted to the student.Don’t worry, you can always get private English tutorials with a private tutor if you’d like to catch up.  A student who struggled in English at school could end up speaking the language later in life thanks to a multitude of other techniques.Sometimes children struggle with languages because the approach and methods used by their teacher at school doesn't work for them. Unfortunately, the teacher has a class full of students and can't tailor every single class to one particular child.

Nowadays, children learn nursery rhymes and songs in English at nursery and weekly extra lessons. The problem is that most just learn more words and spend their time solely focusing on their vocabulary.Learning English at school can sometimes be a love-hate relationship. (Source: Get Brit)When children are at the b est age to learn a language, they’re only studying it for an hour or so a week. With so few hours of study, they remain beginners when they should be making tonnes of progress.However, you needn’t start blaming primary school teachers.

Biological Magnification Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace

Biological Magnification Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace Biological magnification is an aspect of food chain in which harmful chemicals enter the food chains and are passed from one trophic level to another getting concentrated at each level. Man being omnivorous, eats fish, meat as well as vegetables. Being a powerful and intelligent animal, he is very rarely eaten up by other animals. He disposes his dead ones in such a way that scavengers do generally not consume them. Thus he is at the top of most food chains. He is only a consumer. It is seen that through the food chain some harmful chemicals enter our bodies. The pesticides and insecticides are used to protect crops from diseases and pests.These chemical enter the soil and gradually either enter the water table or get absorbed by plants along with water and mineral salts.Thus,they enter the food chain at the producer level.These plants are consumed by organisms which in turn consumed by others and so on. At each trophic level these harmful chemicals get more and more concentrated and ultimately reach our bodies. Humans have higher concentration of these chemicals than organisms lower in the food chain. The organisms which is onthe extreme right of the food chain, has the maximum concentration of the harmful chemical in its body. The process of concentration of harmful chemicals such as pesticides, at each successive step in a food chain is called biological magnification.

New 9-1 GCSEs Factfile

New 9-1 GCSEs Factfile Struggling to work out the new 9-1 grading system? Check out our GCSE Results Day FAQ. With the first results of the new GCSEs coming out, many parents will be concerned about the new 9 to 1 system and how it will affect their child’s grades. This guide may help answer any questions you might have on GCSE results day. Which one is better: 9 or 1? Just remember: nine is fine! For further information about how the grades match up, please see the table based on information from Ofqual, the independent exams regulator. As grade boundaries are always subject to change depending on the performance of a particular cohort, the table may not be 100% accurate but it gives a good idea as to how the new GCSE marking system will match with the previous one. How will I know if my child has passed? As you can see from the table above, to pass in English or Maths your child would need to get a 4, which is equivalent to a low-middle C. Back in February, Education Secretary Justine Greening outlined the difference between a ‘standard’ pass, a 4, and a ‘strong’ pass, a 5. If your child, achieved a 3 or lower then they will have to retake their exams next year if they decide to continue in further education. If this happens, then an English or Maths tutor will be able to help prepare your child for the rigours of the new exams, teaching them sound exam techniques and give them access to high-quality revision resources. However, it is still unclear as to how further education institutions will react to the changes with many setting a 4 in core subjects as their minimum requirement for entry while others are insisting on a 5. As many as twenty percent of HR professionals are reported as still being unsure as to whether a 1 is good or bad. (hopefully, they’ll read this blog and find out!) Which subjects will be affected by the changes? The only subjects that will have a number grade this year will be core subjects Maths, English Language and English Literature. Other subjects including Ancient languages (Greek, Latin), Art and Design, Drama, Food Preparation and Nutrition, Music, Physical Education, Science, Biology, Chemistry, History, Geography, Modern Foreign Languages, Citizenship, Computer Science and Religious Studies will switch from letters to numbers in 2018. Ancient History, Business, Classical Civilisation, Design and Technology, Media Studies and Psychology will follow suit in 2019. This means that up to 2019, students will receive a mixture of letter and number grades with letter grades being phased out within the next two years. What’s the difference between a 9 and an 8? The idea was that introducing a 9 at the top would allow employers and universities to be able to identify the academic elite among high-achieving A* students. This was originally envisaged as the best 5%, however, according to Ofqual’s latest predictions, this could turn out to be very different on results day. The top 3% are predicted to achieve a 9 in Maths as opposed to 7% achieving an A* in 2016 while the best 2% will get the top grade in 2017 for English Language with the top 4% getting an A* last year. The bottom line is it is much harder to get a top grade with only a ‘few hundred’ predicted to get 9s across the board in the three qualifications. Will A levels change as well? Some A levels have been reformed recently with changes made to syllabus and grading criteria, but the letter system of A*-E remains intact and there are currently no plans to change that. How has the new Maths GCSE changed? According to expert tutor and qualified Maths teacher, Beth, the questions in the new GCSE rely much more on the mathematical intuition of the pupil, are more open-ended, and generally more demanding. There is a greater emphasis on problem solving, meaning that teaching to the test is no longer a viable option. Finding the right Maths tutor will ensure that your child has the requisite skills and knowledge to approach the new exams with confidence. There are still Foundation (1-5) and Higher (4-9) tier papers with some topics from the old AS level being included in the Higher exam and many Higher topics now filtering down into the Foundation paper. Overall, it is a more challenging paper. How have the new English GCSEs changed? There is no longer a Foundation or Higher tier paper, but one paper for all where students are expected to be able to understand, analyse, compare and evaluate unseen nineteenth-century fiction and twentieth-century nonfiction extracts. However, many pupils have found it challenging to complete the exam in the time allowed. In English Literature, there is not only a greater emphasis on critical writing style and spelling, punctuation and grammar but there is also much more content to revise including closed book exams on a nineteenth century text, fifteen poems, a modern play/novel and a Shakespeare text. Some pupils might need an expert English tutor to be able to make sense of all of that content and to be able to formulate coherent and convincing essays. Coursework and controlled assessments will not feature in the new qualification as the grades are based purely on how pupils perform in their Summer exams. Students’ speaking and listening ability is still evaluated by their teacher but students merely need to pass the test and the results no longer contribute towards the final grade. Essentially, the main changes are less teacher intervention in the evaluation of grades and higher demands on pupil literacy. What’s Progress 8? This is a new measure being introduced by the government this year to measure the progress pupils make across a range of subjects in individual schools. It has nothing to do with your child’s results this year but it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of teaching at a particular institution for those looking to change their child’s school. Why the new 9-1 system? These are the brainchild of former Education Secretary Michael Gove with the idea being that exams would be more rigorous and that the new 9 grade would help differentiate the top-performing students. However, as to why it had to change from letters to numbers remains a mystery. How can a tutor help? If your child has not gained the qualification they need to get into the college of their choice, then it may be worth contracting the services of an expert tutor who knows the exam system inside-out. An expert tutor in English and Maths would be able to help your child with past papers, difficult concepts and time management, so that they are successful the second time around.
