Baking tips
Types of Salt
Source: Idiot’s Guide to Baking – By Alexandra Zohn
Hi lovely bakers!
I thought we could look at types of salt for today’s baking basics. I know salt might not be the most exciting topics but it sure is tasty… I mean important. The type of salt or the amount of salt in a recipe really makes a difference.
Advice from the Pros: Kate Jacoby
Source: Bake from Scratch – Magazine Sept/Oct 2017 edition
Continuing our Advice from the Pros series we have some fantastic advice from Kate Jacoby of Philadelphia’s Vedge. I know when we hear Vegan sometimes we think not so great taste but things are different now. Many vegan desserts you wouldn’t even know were vegan.
Pastry chef Kate Jacoby creates incredible vegan desserts at the Philadelphia restaurant group she runs with her husband chef Rich Landau. The couple have two cookbooks called Vedge and V Street.
Where did you get that?
Hello Disney Bakers!
“How did you find the recipe?”
I have always loved to bake. You can map my life growing up by what I was baking. During the teased bang stage (the bigger the better) I was into pies. During my love affair with JTT from the TV show Home Improvement, I couldn’t get enough of cakes (the relationship was a little one-sided but I feel like in his heart he knew I existed and knew we were soulmates). Finally all the way to my love of George Clooney and entry into Pastry school. I loved it all.
Freeze Your Dough
Hey Happy Bakers!
If you are new to baking and are looking for a great magazine on the subject, I can’t recommend the magazine “Bake from Scratch” enough. It’s just this great source of all things baking. It’s filled with information on bakeries, tips, and recipes. It’s a little pricey but I think well worth it. Like most magazines, if you sign up for the year subscription you can save some money.
When I was reading through the Sept/Oct 2017 edition they have some great tips on freezing your dough. Sometimes you have to freeze your dough to save time and sometimes it’s so it saves time in the future.
Swan and Dolphin Recipe Club
Help happy bakers!
Today I wanted to introduce you to a great source of Disney Park recipes that I think a lot of people don’t know about; the Swan and Dolphin Recipe Club. It’s pretty awesome actually.
Anna Olson’s Top 10 Baking Questions Answered
Source: www.foodnetwork.com – Anna Olson
Hi happy Bakers,
Have you guys seen Anna Olson on the food network? I really like her. I especially love how she has a new Kitchen Aid Mixer behind her every recipe she does. I just want to call her up and say “there is no way you can afford a Kitchen Aid Mixer in every color”. I don’t know what she makes but those things are super pricey and it would be crazy to pretend someone would have one in every color. I absolutely love the idea of it though.
Well now that I think about it, where would I even keep them? Knowing myself I probably would use all of them at the same time just so I don’t have to wash the bowl halfway through. I looked into buying a new bowl but do you know how much those are? They are like a hundred bucks for a glass bowl. Don’t you think that’s a lot for a simple glass bowl? Well, a glass bowl that fits into the mixer.
Causes of Cookie Malfunctions part four

We have reached the final part of our cookie malfunctions series.
This one is going to be super short because there is only two left to talk about. I think I might create one quick cheat-sheet that people can print out. It might make it easier. I think I would find it helpful so I assume others might too.
