SITHCCC019 Produce cakes, pastries and breads
How many cakes, pastries or breadsare required? Describe how you will ensure that the correct number of
items are produced.
Answer: There are four different cakes on the menu to pick from. Standard recipes are used to guarantee that
the proper number of items is manufactured, and preparations are done depending on the requirement and
quantity required. When it comes to serving customers, the standard menu plays a role in quantity control. The
serving for a total of 14 persons has been done.
Calculate the number of portions that you need (show your workings).
Answer: Traditional slices are the most generous, while event servings are the most economical. Smaller cakes are
occasionally offered with a large quantity of nearly six square inches, but a good slice is about three and a half
square inches. Larger cakes should be reserved for special occasions exclusively.

Select the cookery method that you will use. Explain your decision.
Answer: Baking is the process of cooking a cake, as all cakes must be baked at some point, although the
temperature and recipe must be different. We utilized a recipe from taste.com to make a spongy cake, which
features family recipes made using minimal ingredients. Beat the egg and sugar for 6 minutes on high speed in
a stand mixer, then add the flour and preheat the oven to 180°C. Before filling with whipped cream and fresh
fruit, they must be baked for at least 20 minutes. Finally, sift icing sugar over the cake.
The fruit cake's cooking instructions were given by Simplyrecipes. For the cake, preheat the oven to 325
degrees Fahrenheit. To fit the pan, greased paper has been used to line it. As a result, it's much easier to raise
the pan. The baking soda and sour cream were combined first, followed by the fruits, nuts, and flour. You may
then add the rest of the ingredients to make a smooth batter.
In the afternoon, the legendary Maderia cake was made with the help of a taste.com recipe. To help removing
the cake from the pan simpler, baking paper was used at the start. Egg, butter, citrus, and lemon peel are used
to make a light and fluffy batter. Slowly add the flour and milk until the mixture is smooth, then mix until
everything is well combined. It takes 40 to 45 minutes to bake the cake.
Finally, in the cake section, a swiss roll was created. Start by whisking the eggs and sugar together for 5
minutes, or until thick and pale. Fold in the flour in two batches, one at a time. They should be baked for 10 to
12 minutes. Spread the sponge out and cover it with jam after it's done baking.

Select the cooking times and temperatures that you will use. Explain your decision.
Cooking times and temperatures are followed exactly as written in the recipe. The cooking times and temperatures
are as follows:
It takes 15 minutes to prepare and 25 minutes to cook a standard aerated sponge cake. Preheat the oven to 180
degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
A fruit cake requires 15 minutes of preparation time and 2 hours of cooking time. For cooking, preheat the oven to
160 degrees Fahrenheit.
The madeira cake takes 15 minutes to make and 50 minutes to cook, with an oven temperature of 180°C or 160°C.
Finally, it takes 15 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to cook the swiss roll. In terms of cooking temperature, it
should be warmed to 180°C or 160°C/gas 4.
Describe how you will select the ingredients that you need from stores. How will you check them for freshness
and quality?
Answer: All substances must be inspected for degradation or contamination. The following are the ways for
determining component provenance:
i. Flavour, smell, colour, and texture deterioration
ii. Presence of mould.
iii. If food is spoiled due to corrupted packaging and a failure to check the expiration date,
iv. Smell
List the food preparation equipment that you will need for this recipe. How will you ensure that it is clean, well
maintained and ready for use?
Answer: The food preparation equipment that are need for this recipe are:
i. Oven
ii. Electrical Mixer
iii. Cooling rack
iv. Icing smoother

To ensure that it is clean, well-maintained, and ready for use, first assess and monitor its cleanliness. It should be
washed and dried before use if it is not clean. It's also critical to double-check the components to make sure
they're free of contaminants.

and separating the eggs, the white half of the egg should be used to make cake leavening. So I mixed together the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes, or until the mixture was
thick and pale. After gently folding the flour in two batches to collect air bubbles and incorporate all ingredients without deflation, I cooked for 10-12 minutes. The sponge was
stretched out and jam was gently poured into it for a greater flavor and efficiency. The right preparation time, cooking time, cooking temperature, and oven pre-heating were
all adhered to ensure the efficiency of swiss role making.

When making Choux pastry, the correct number and portion were first calculated in order to produce them according to the standard menu. Then, during delivery, I examined
the contents and their packaging for compliance with WHS requirements, and I employed the first-in-first-out procedure to assure safe and unexpired ingredients for
customer safety. The hygiene of the equipment necessary to make pastries was first assessed. Prior to usage, they were washed and dried. I double-checked and pondered
every nutritional label. I made choux pastries according to the recipe from serious eats. Water, sugar, and butter were brought to a boil in a sauce pan for 2 minutes. I
discovered that water helped in the binding of flour and oil to make a dough in Choux pastries. To ensure the efficiency and success of the pastries, I ensured that the dough
was produced at a temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Throughout entire culinary process, I looked at portion size in proportion to the number of people that will be served. The four different pastries were supposed to be
made for a total of 12 customers. As a consequence, the croissant portion is calculated proportionately. I thought about the single nutrition label while making the
pastry. A recipe from the King author's website was used to make the croissant. The ingredients were mixed together to produce the dough, which was then spread
on one side with butter. I maintained a close eye on the temperature of the dough to verify that it was properly made. After that, I melted butter into the sponge and
practiced rolling out a perfect croissant shape using a rolling pin. I learned that oven should be pre-heated at around 365 F for about three to four minutes to make
the pastries fluffy.

I learned new abilities and learned new things while making sweet shortcrust. I took a recipe from amazing food and followed it to the letter. I learned how to make
breadcrumbs by mixing plain flour with unsalted butter. After that, I mixed in the remaining ingredients and refrigerated it for at least 30 minutes. Chilling ingredients is
important because it prevents butter from melting and lets water to interact with gluten, resulting in a more flaky and fluffy dough. Exact timing and temperature were taken
into consideration for a successful preparation. It takes 20 minutes to prepare, half an hour to cook, and 30 minutes to chill. Before beginning the preparation, I scrubbed the
whole prepping area to ensure it was clean and germ-free.

During this culinary activity, I took sure to follow all of the basic food safety requirements, such as washing my hands, cleaning my equipment, and cleaning the kitchen. The
serving size was determined by the number of people who enjoyed strudel. The recipe was adapted from a Times Food article. I arranged all of the components and
smelled, tasted, and smelled them to see whether they were contaminated. I also divided the items since germs can spread from one meal to the next. The pastry sheet was
used to fill the strudel. By slicing and shredding the ingredients, the filling was created. Then I used the baked cooking method for 30-40 minutes. I used the proper cooking
time and temperature, which was 1 hour. To ensure the fluffiness of the pastry, I set the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

I employed a variety of approaches and talents to effectively create bread rolls during this endeavor, and I learned a lot in the process. The recipe for the bread rolls was
discovered on the excellent food website. To fully combine the ingredients, they were first mixed with warm water and put aside for 10 minutes. The dough was kneaded until
it was tighter and spongier, then left to soften and rise for an hour. Later, I used the shape baking technique of cooking. It has to sit for a bit so the yeast can fully ferment and
the mixture may become fluffy. At 230 degrees Celsius, the oven was preheated. The temperature was carefully monitored to avoid overcooking the bread and get the
correct result.
