What is It

Lesson Information 1

BAKING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT IN CAKE PREPARATION

EQUIPMENTS
1. Mixers - are one of the essential tools in baking. Although a small quantity of
dough can be mixed by hand, electric mixers are required in large scale baking
such as those in commercial bakery.

• Electric hand mixer

This type of mixer is one of the most common equipment
used in baking.
©NSM Montilla
• Tabletop mixers have the capacity of 4.75 to 19
L with the following main attachments:
o Paddle- is used for general mixing
o Wire whip- is used for beating egg foams
and cream
o Dough arm- is used for mixing and
kneading yeast dough.

2. PROOFER – A proofer is a special box in which the ideal conditions

for fermenting yeast dough can be created. The box maintains a
preset warm temperature and humidity level appropriate to the
specific dough. ©Universal Robina

5
3. OVENS – It is a workhorse of the bakery and pastry shop. They are essential for
producing breads, cakes, pasties, cookies and other baked products. Ovens are
enclosed spaces in which food is heated, usually by hot air (except in the case of
microwave ovens, which are not especially useful in the bakeshop.)

• Deck Oven – Deck oven are so called because the item to be baked-
either on sheet pans or, in the case of some breads, freestanding -
are placed directly on the bottom, or deck, of the oven. There are no
racks for holding pans in deck ovens. Deck oven are also called Stack
ovens because several may be stacked on top of one another.
©NSM Montilla

• Rack Oven - A rack oven is a large oven into which entire racks full
of sheet pans can be wheeled for baking. Normal baker’s racks hold
8 to 24 full-size sheet pans, but racks made specifically to go into
rack ovens usually hold 15 to 20 pans. Rack ovens hold 1 to 4 of
these racks at once. The ovens are also equipped with steam
injectors.

• Convection Oven - Convection ovens contain fans that circulate

the air and distribute the heat rapidly throughout the interior. The
forced air makes foods cook more quickly at lower temperatures.
However, the strong forced air can distort the shape of items
made with batters and soft dough, and the airflow may be strong
enough to blow baking parchment off sheet pans. ©Universal Robina

HAND TOOLS
Hand tools is a broad one, encompassing large and small items, some more
familiar than others. Those described here are considered indispensable to a
bakeshop or Commercial baking establishment.

1. Pans and Molds - found in the hot kitchen are also used in the bakeshop. For
example, saucepans are used to boil syrups and to cook creams and fillings. Pans
and molds are essential for the bakery product.

• Saucepan - a deep cooking pan, typically round, made of metal,

and with one long handle and a lid.

• Cake pans. Most cake pans are round, but other shapes, such
as hearts, are available for specialty cakes. Cake pans come in
many sizes.
• Loaf pan - A rectangular pan, usually with slightly flared sides,
used for baking loaf breads. Loaf pans can also be used for
molding refrigerated and frozen desserts.

• Sheet pan - A shallow, rectangular pan (1 inch/25 mm deep)

for baking sheet cakes, cookies, rolls, and other baked goods.

• Tube pan - A deep cake pan with a tube in the center. The tube
promotes even baking of angel food cakes and chiffon cakes.

2. Measuring Tools
• Measuring spoons - are ideal for small amounts of dry and
liquid ingredients.

• Measuring cups - are ideal for medium to larger amounts of

dry and liquid ingredients. Unless compact measurement is
required (e.g. brown sugar), these must not be compacted.

• Liquid Measuring Cup - are necessary for the volume

measurement of liquids. They must be checked at eye level to
ensure the required depth is reached.

• Weighing scale - Most recipe ingredients are measured by

weight, so accurate scales are important.

• Scoops - come in standard sizes and have a lever for

mechanical release. They are used for portioning soft solid
foods. The number of the scoop indicates the number of level
scoopfuls per quart.

• Sugar thermometer - also called a candy thermometer, is one

of the most important tools in baking. It is used for measuring
the temperature, and hence the concentration, of boiling
sugar syrups.
©NSM Montilla

3. Cutting Tools – Knives and other cutting tools are so essential to the success of
bread and pastry chores.

• Offset spatula. The bent blade allows spreading and

smoothing batters and fillings inside pans.

• Serrated knife - Like a slicer, but with a serrated edge. Used

for cutting breads, cakes, similar items.

• Cutting board - used for cutting and slicing different type

of ingredients. It comes in different color schemes which has
different purposes.

• Pastry Wheel - A round, rotating blade on a handle. Used

for cutting rolled-out dough’s and pastry and baked pizza.

©NSM Montilla

4. Other tools
• Pastry brush - is used to brush items with egg wash, glaze,
and so on.

7
• Icing comb. A small plastic tool, usually triangular, with
serrated edges in various patterns, for decorating icings and
other pastry and decorative items.

• Mixing bowl – is a deep bowl that is particularly well suited

for mixing ingredients together in. These come in many
materials, such as stainless steel, ceramic, glass, and plastic.

• Whisks – Loops of stainless-steel wire fastened to a handle.

Whips with a few stiff wires are used for mixing and blending,
and whips with many flexible wires are used for whipping
foams, such as whipped cream and egg foams. It is also called
Whisk.
• Rolling pin – a manual tool used to flatten dough especially
when making pie.

• Wooden spoon - are essential for mixing, stirring and serving.

Wooden spoon are strong, inflexible and poor conductors of
heat, which make them ideal for beating and creaming.
• Strainer – A round-bottomed, cup-shaped tool made of screen
mesh or perforated metal, with a handle on one side. Used for
separating solids from liquids, such as draining the juice from
fruit. Screen-mesh strainers can also be used for sifting dry
ingredients, like a sieve.
• Parchment paper - Also called baking paper or silicone paper,
it is used to line pans, parchment eliminates the need for
greasing them. Also used to make piping cones for decorative
work

• Cooling rack - A wire rack used to hold baked goods while

cooling. The rack allows air circulation around the items.

©NSM Montilla
Decorating Tools
• Pastry tip/ piping tube/ decorating tips - they are plastic
or metal tubes attached at the tip of a pastry bag or piping
tube to achieve the desired design when piping out icing.

• Pastry Bag

• Coupler

• Flower nail

• Fondant Icing Tools

 Lesson Information 2

CLASSIFICATION OF CAKES
1. High-Fat or Shortened Cakes – a type of cake which contains a high percentage
of fat or shortening and depend upon egg, flour and milk for structure. Much of
the volume of the finished cake is achieved by the use of baking powder.

Butter Cake

©NSM Montilla

2. Foam Type Cake – also known as unshortened cakes. A type of cake that
depends principally upon the extensive and denaturization of egg protein for the
bulk of the structure of the finished volume and can be considered cakes without
shortening.

• Sponge Cake- cakes using either whole eggs or yolks or

a combination of both. The sugar and egg whites may be
beaten or the egg yolks and sugar may be whipped
together then added to the beaten egg whites. It is
important to sufficiently beat the egg before folding with
the flour mixture. ©NSM Montilla

• Angel Food Cake or Meringue Type Cake – cakes

using the egg white protein of eggs. The egg whites are
beaten to soft peaks with part of the sugar in the recipe.
Cream of tartar is added to stabilize the foam and cause
a finer and whiter grain in the finished product. The
remaining sugar is sifted with the dry ingredients and
folded into the meringue. ©NSM Montilla

3. Modified Sponge Cake – a combination of shortened cake and foam-type cake.

The resulting cake has a modified foam type grain and texture. The egg yolks, oil
and other liquid ingredients are placed in a bowl together. The egg whites are
beaten with sugar into peaks. The liquid ingredients are added to the flour and
part of the sugar to form a batter. Then the beaten egg whites are folded into the
batter. Cake volume depends on the amount of air incorporated into the egg
whites during beating.
