Tips from the Chief Baker

2011-05-05T11:56:00.002-07:00

Spring is a favorite time of many aspiring pastry chefs to whip up some fresh creations in the kitchen. So here's a few tips from our Master Baker as you get busy in the kitchen:

Tip #1: Most ovens temperature fluctuates 10-20 degrees. That's a lot when you're making a delicate pastry! Don't count on the dial to be accurate -- use a reliable oven thermometer, inside the oven.

Tip #2: Invest in good ingredients! We know that with the price of gas going up and groceries getting more expensive, its tempting to buy knock off brands or the cheaper (can we say it?) margarine instead of butter.... but starting with the best, helps your treat to turn out its best! If you're going to "splurge" on the sweets - make it worthwhile! Buy the best nuts, toppings, fillings, and real butter. There's no substitute!

We hope these little tid-bits are helpful to you. Open the windows and let the spring time air inspire some great kitchen creations!
