The art of baking involves the precise combination of

business's success.

In addition to being a popular hobby and pastime, baking has

become a valuable skill in the culinary world. Chefs and
bakers alike recognize the importance of mastering the craft
of baking, as it allows them to create unique and flavorful
dishes that set them apart from their competitors. Whether
you're a professional baker or a home cook, the art of baking
is a rewarding experience that yields delicious results
Types of baking
Cakes
Layer cakes, cupcakes, snack cakes, roulades, and even
cheesecakes—the cake category is vast. Most cakes are often
classified into two categories: whether they contain fat, such as butter
or oil (shortened cakes) or whether they contain little or no fat
(unshortened or foam cakes). Find out more here about types of
cakes, the ingredients used to make them, and plenty of tips for
success.
Candy
Candy and confections range from chewy nougat and pralines to fudge,
caramel, and toffee. The thing they share in common is sugar, and how
that sugar is handled determines the category that candies fall into.
There are essentially two categories of candies: crystalline or
non-crystalline. Candies that are crystalline contain crystals in their
finished form, like nougat and fudge, where as noncrystalline candies
don’t contain crystals (think lollipops and caramels).
Pastry
From the simplest pie and tart dough to more complex laminated doughs like

croissant, Danish, puff, and phyllo, this is a broad category of bread-type

baked goods that can be sweet or savory. Although they share a brief list of

ingredients—flour, some kind of fat, water or another liquid, and often,

salt—they can be intimidating in technique. We’ll show you the ins and outs

so you can master this delicious category.
