What are the requirements for baking cakes in Macau Pinfang?

In the interview, Teacher Chen said that the most important thing to make a cake is a pair of hands. Hands must be clean, leaving no nails; Wash your hands after each treatment. More importantly, however, whether the baker can tolerate the feeling that flour sticks to his hands. When rubbing powder to make leather, it will stick to your hands, and it will take an apprentice a long time to get used to it.

Teacher Chen also introduced us to the time control of making cakes: "The time for preparing materials and setting is about 30 minutes, and then the finished products are baked in the oven. Usually 1 hour can make a finished product in 30 minutes. "

What tools do you need to make a cake? Teacher Chen enthusiastically took us into the cake making room. He took out three main tools for making cakes: cake marks, scales and mallets.

The cake pattern is carved from wood. As the name implies, the role of cake printing is to fix the shapes and styles of various styles of cakes. I used to go to a cake printing shop in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong. The price of each piece is equivalent to more than 200 yuan today. In Macao, there is no shop specializing in cake printing, because cake printing is durable and the demand is not great. Once upon a time, Mr. Chen hired a master engaged in the carving industry to make it specially. But now, if you want to find a master who can carve cakes by hand, you will go to Shi Qi, Zhongshan.

Now it only costs more than 50 yuan to make a cake print.

Weighing scale should be a measuring tool that we are all familiar with. Today, there is no weighing industry in Macau. There used to be a weighing machine in Guo Lan Street, but it was closed. Why? I can't live.

At present, most scales are purchased in the mainland. Mr. Chen said that using traditional scales in China is more convenient, more accurate and quite durable than using electronic scales.

A mallet is a wooden stick used to make shortbread.
