In the previous lesson you have learned how to prepare sponge and cakes by
way of selecting and measuring and weighing ingredients according to the
recipe requirements. You already know the required temperature to bake
goods in accordance with desired characteristics, standard in accordance
with desired characteristics
You have learned how to prepare sponges and cakes according to recipe
specifications, techniques and conditions and desired product characteristics.
Done with the lesson on how to distinguish appropriate equipment according
to required pastry and bakery products and standard operating procedures.
Activity 1
This time we are going to learn and understand the filling and icing of the cakes.
Discussion of Activity 1
Information Sheet No. 1: Preparing and Select Fillings in Accordance
with Required Consistency and Appropriate Flavors.
There are many cakes. Cakes with fillings always seem add a little extra to the treat.
While there is a whole range of cake fillings recipes to choose from is important that
the of filling that you use is stable enough. Let us now learn the different types of
fillings.
Types of Fillings
Custard
http://bit.do/eFRmQ
http://bit.do/eFRmc
There are many fruits that can e cooked into a filling for cake that will provide
the cake with an extra special flavour some of the common fruits used are
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberry, peaches, apricots, and rhubarb.
A pipe is used when frosting is applied on top of the layer around the outer
edge of the cake to act as a dam to hold the filling in between. Fresh fruit can
be added between the layers but this type of cake should only be assembled
within a few hours of eaten it.
Frosting
http://bit.do/eFRkR
Many times the same frosting used to frost the cakes is used for filling
between layers. This is a great way to add flavour and moistness to the cake.
Some the common frosting types that are also used as fillings are:
Buttercream, Boiled , Cream cheese , Whip cream, Ganache
Jelly
http://bit.do/eFRkx
Jelly, jam or preserved can be used to add an easy fruit flavour filling to a
cake. You can add flavour to the cake without any additional preparation.
When using jelly filing on a layer cake , used piping of frosting around the
edge of the layer to keep the jelly, jam or preserved confined and then select
your favourite flavour and spread it on the layer inside the pipe frosting.
Whipped Cream
http://bit.do/eFRkd
Filing using whipped cream provides a light a fluffy filling with a delicate flavour.
Whipped creams are sometimes stabilized by adding gelatine to make them hold up
a better. A cake with whipped cream filling must be refrigerated and served the same
day that it is made.
Glazes and Syrups
http://bit.do/eFRjY
Glazes and syrups can also be used as a filling but it will not provide
for any thickness. They do provide extra flavour and help seal in the moisture
of the cake. The cake can be stored at room temperature when the filling is a
glaze or syrup unless the cake or frosting requires refrigerator.
Enrichment Activities
There are many cake fillings types that can be used. There are some points that
should be taken into considerations when choosing fillings for a cake. Some of this
points are listed below:
1. Consider the flavour of the cake and be sure that the filling will complete the
cakes flavour.
2. Take into account the storage of the cake. Do not pick a filling that requires
refrigeration when it will not be possible to refrigerate the cake because of its
size.
3. If the cake will be exposed to warm temperatures, do not choose filling that
will melt.
4. If the cake has to be made a day or so ahead of when it will be eaten, be sure
the filing will hold up for that period of time.
5. An icing made of butter and/or shortening blended with confectioner’s
sugar or sugar syrup, other ingredient may also be added.
6. Shiny coating such as syrup, applied to a food to make a food shiny or glossy
by coating with a glaze or by browning in under a boiler or in a hot oven.
7. Rich cream made of chocolate and heavy cream.
8. Edible mixture used to fill pastries, sandwiches or cakes.
9. Provides a light fluffy filling with a delicate flavour.
The amount of filling will vary depending on the type of filling, the type of cake,
number of layers, and personal preferences.
Generalization
We are still in the introductory part and you learned the different types
of fillings. This time, I want you to just enjoy while doing the task. I promise
that you will be a great baker someday and the skills and talent that you
learned will earned you a living.
Discussion of Activity 2
Information Sheet No. 2 Fill and assemble slice or layer, Sponges and cakes
according to standard recipe specification, enterprise practice and customers
preferences.
For a classic round or rectangular cake, you may want to put levelled cakes together,
joined with the favourite filling. This adds height and drama to your designs.
Step 1
http://bit.do/eFRgA
Fill a pastry bag with medium consistency icing and use a decorating
tip no.12 or use a coupler without using a tip. Start at the bottom layer,
levelled side up. Put an icing just inside the edge of the cake. This will prevent
any filling from seeping out when the next layer will added.
Step 2
http://bit.do/eFReq
Step 3
http://bit.do/eFRcv
Place the next layer on the top, making sure it is level. Consider the bulk of
the layered cake which can be the reason for an icing to expand. Put the top layer
with side down position, so the top of the cake is perfectly smooth and level.

Generalization
I want you to really understand how to do the proper sequence of assembling
a layer cake. Please do the following exercise.
Meaning of Icing
Icing is a sweet coating made of sugar coating made of sugar, butter, water, and egg
white or milk; It is often flavoured and cooked and used to cover or design baked
goods, such as cakes or cookies.
http://bit.do/eFRnk
Buttercream
Buttercream is made of sifted powdered sugar, milk and superior butter. The quality
of butter used will reflect on the appearance, consistency and taste of your butter
cream frosting. This type of cake icing melts in hot weather, the finished cakes must
be chilled prior to serving to prevent the buttercream frosting from losing its stiffness.
http://bit.do/eFRn2
Whipped Cream
This type of cake icing can be attained using cold heavy whipping cream and
sugar. Some would advise you to use powdered sugar but ordinary
granulated sugar work as well
http://bit.do/eFRpQal Icing
Royal Icing
Royal cake icing dries hard in the outer shell. It is also one of the easiest to
dye with edible coloring. There are two ways to make this type of frosting:
Using egg whites (like meringue icing) and powdered sugar or by using
meringue powder in a place of egg whites.
http://bit.do/eFRrC
Cream cheese frosting is made with part butter cream frosting and a good
quality cream cheese. This type of frosting is usually perfect for carrot cakes,
red velvet and as a filling for doughnuts and cupcakes because of its
consistency.
It’s a bit heavier to spread than most types of cake icing. Some would even
put cream cheese frosting on their bread as stand-alone spread.
http://bit.do/eFRsr
Meringue
The basic ingredient for this frosting are eggwhites, cold water and granulated
sugar and it is one of the most common types of cake icing. It is light and fluffy
because of air introduced into the egg mixture to create a stiff consistency.
http://bit.do/eFRtn
Fondant
This is popular heavy frosting among celebration cakes because it is easy to
sculpt and work out. Basic fondant ingredients includes gelatin, glycerine,
water, icing or castor sugar (lighter than powdered sugar) and shortening.
Fondant is made by melting marshmallow (or heating the gelatin mixture) and
adding the rest of the ingredients until it reaches to its desired consistency,
which ideally, should stretch but should not tear easily. This cake icing is quite
heavy and sculpting to various shapes that is possible with the use of carving
and decorating tools.
http://bit.do/eFRt6
Chocolate Ganache
Chocolate ganache and glazing are probably the easiest cake icing to make.
Enrichment Activities
Spend a few fill on an offset spatula. Its large surface area makes it easy to
spread frosting. For a durable base, use cardboard rounds or an upside-down
cake pan.
https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/articles/how-to-chop-and-melt-chocolate
Start by placing a dab of frosting on your base to keep the bottom layer of
cake from moving around.
https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/articles/how-to-chop-and-melt-chocolate
Step 3: Layer by Layer
Put the first layer of cake on the base and spread on the filling. Then place
the second layer on top and press down gently.
http://bit.do/eFRUj
Fill the cake with a thin layer of frosting. This is called a crumb coat, and it
guarantees that the final layer of frosting looks spectacular. Place the cake in
the fridge for about 30 minutes until well-chilled and firm.
http://bit.do/eFRUx
After removing the cake from the fridge, finish frosting. Use a nice dollop and
move the frosting along the side of the cake, eliminating the excess as you
turn the pan with your hand.
http://bit.do/eFRUQ
Generalization
Performance Task
Prepare a boiled icing using the given recipe on layered cake. Practice and
enhance your skill in applying the filling of layer cake following the steps using
a round Styrofoam. Try many times as you can until you master the skills.
Procedure:
1. Combine sugar, water, corn syrup and salt in saucepan and stir the
mixture until well blended.
2. Boil slowly without stirring until mixture spins a long thread when a little
is dropped from a spoon.
3. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until they are stiff but still moist. Pour
hot syrup slowly over egg whites beating.
4. Continue until mixture is very fluff and will hold its shape
5. Add vanilla extract and eat until blended
6. If icing does not seem stiff enough, beat in two or three tablespoons
confectioners sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff enough to hold
its shape. Spread on the cake.

Steps and procedure in icing a cake
1. Cake cardboard
2. Turntable
3. Icing spatula
4. Place the cake on the turn table. Trim to level the top by using a
serrated knife. To torte the cake, take the knife to the side of the cake.
Slowly turn the cake while moving the knife in a back and forth
motion. You can cut the cake more layers if you wish.
https://tinyurl.com/yc8n3bcs
5. Place the top half of the cake onto the cake board with a dab of
icing. This will help "glue" it into place.
https://tinyurl.com/y7rog869
6. Make a dam of buttercream around the cake using the icing bag with
no tip. Fill with desired filling. This will help prevent the filling from
leaking and also prevent the cake from bulging.
7. Place the bottom half on top of the filling. If the cake is quite large, use
a cake board underneath the cake and slide the cake off the board.
https://tinyurl.com/ybr5e7zf
8. Put a huge amount of icing on top of the cake. Don't be hold back on
this, we will move this icing around and remove most of it.
9. Now, spread the icing to cover the top of the cake. Try not to lift the
spatula too much so you won't have any crumbs. If you do get crumbs
just wipe it off on another bowl and use those for the filling. You can
spread some of the icing towards the side of the cake and you can take
some of the extra icing off, too.

10. Take some icing with your spatula hold it against the side on a 90
degree angle and spread it, covering the cake all around. Use your
other hand to turn the lazy susan while doing this. Make sure the edges
are a hanging little bit higher on the top of the cake.
11. When the cake is covered all around, take the spackle tool and hold it
against the sides again on a 90 degree angle. Turn the cake round and
round while leaving the spackle tool in the same place. It may take a
few round trips before you smooth it out.

12. Using the metal spatula push those overhanging edges towards the
center of the cake. Repeat all around, wiping the excess buttercream to
the bowl. You should have nice, clean edges.
https://tinyurl.com/y8bfpnb4
13. Clean the spatula and run it across the top to smooth it. What
also helps to smooth the cake is using a spatula that was dipped
in hot water. The heat helps melt the buttercream a bit.

Cake decorating is one of the sugar arts that uses icing or frosting and
other edible decorative elements to make plain cakes more visually
interesting. Alternatively, cakes can be molded and sculpted to resemble
three-dimensional persons, places and things.

A Swiss roll, jelly roll, roll cake, or cream roll, or Swiss Log, is a type of
sponge cake roll filled with whipped cream, jam, or icing. The origins of
the term are unclear. In spite of the name "Swiss roll", the cake is
believed to have originated elsewhere in Central Europe, likely Austria.

Pound cake is a type of cake traditionally made with a pound of each of
four ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, and sugar. Pound cakes are
generally baked in either a loaf pan or a Bundt mold, and served either
dusted with powdered sugar, lightly glazed, or sometimes with a coat of
icing.
Enrichment Activities
We measure freshness when developing long shelf life cakes to ensure that
they keep their freshness characteristics along shelf-life. Sometimes,
customers may have some specific requirements about cake texture. In that
case, the goal might be to reach a certain level of moistness, reduce the
crumbliness or increase the short bite. Measuring the freshness helps us see
how close we are to meeting these goals which can also be a future guide for
our product development.
However, for parameters like cohesiveness and resiliency, there is not always
a logical correlation between sensorial measurements and the instrumental
measurements from the texturometer. In fact, some very important
parameters like moistness cannot directly be measured instrumentally. For
these reasons, we still need to conduct sensorial and instrumental
measurement of freshness in parallel.
Softness can be evaluated by touching the product. For the moistness, the
sensory judges first touch the product to feel if it is dry or not and to feel the
levels of humidity, then they also taste and evaluate it in the mouth. To
measure cohesiveness, the sensory judges touch and eat few bites of the
cake to see how much the product crumbles or not.
How do you work together with your customers for sensorial evaluation?
Our expert panel is a tool we use to help internal development, but of course
we also do our work based on the briefs of our customers. The sensorial
analysis is mainly used to verify that objectives are achieved, for instance that
the freshness level of a cake is improved when we add our cake freshness
enhancer in a cake, and also to compare different Acti-Fresh offers and select
the one that will deliver exactly what our customers want.

Generalization
Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, such as
weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are
bread-like, some are rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. Cake making is
no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into
cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and
directions have been simplified so that even the most amateur of cooks may bake a
cake.
