Introduction

Everyone loves freshly baked cookies. At our Bakers’ Funstore, we often see customers thronging the cookies sections. Their smell, flavour, and even colour attracts hordes of customers. We hear stories from them about how these fresh cookies help them complete a platter when guests suddenly arrive, how in stressful moments they act as stressbusters and how these cookies make even a simple moment memorable.

Of course, a lot of the credit for why cookies are loved by all goes to their freshness. It is easy to find factory-manufactured, packaged cookies in the market – but they do not taste as good as the ones you can buy from your neighborhood bakery.

However, since we are talking about fresh cookies, you must also know about the bad, rotten, or simply spoiled ones too. Yes, they can sometimes cross your path, most, unfortunately. What do you do then? How do you identify them? What do you do when you get rotten cookies? These are some things we shall talk about in today’s blog.

How to Recognise Bad Cookies   

The best cookies are easily recognised by their flavours. But when cookies go bad, they give out a pungent smell that is often hard to ignore. This is one of the telling signs that the cookie in hand is bad. It is best to rely on our sensory organs while judging the shelf-life of cookies. Apart from the smell, if the cookies seem unnaturally hard, they are likely to be stale. Such cookies can never be enjoyed.

Another way to recognise the bad cookies is by noting their texture. If the cookie seems dry and unnecessarily hard, they are likely to be stale. The general rule of fresh cookies is that they should be soft with a gooey texture.

How Long Do Cookies Last? 

Cookies are unlike your packed biscuits, especially the ones you buy from local bakeries. They do not last months but only days. If you want to keep them fresh, there are a few things you should remember. Storing them at room temperature will keep them fresh for 15 days. If you want to keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for at least two months.

But this is a simple generalization. You must understand that there are different types of cookies, from drop cookies to cut-outcookies and icebox cookies. The kind of ingredients used in the cookies will determine their longevity.

Conclusion

Cookies are inarguably the best stressbusters for people who like both sweet and savoury.  They can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or a cup of coffee. Having them with cold milk is also quite popular. Irrespective of how you enjoy your cookies, you cannot deny the fact that the best cookies are the fresh ones. Don’t fall for the stale ones often found in dubious bakery stores. Buy them from your trusted Bakers’ Fun as you can be assured that only the freshest and best cookies will reach you always.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Happens to Stale Cookies?
Cookies are identified by their gooey, soft texture. But when they become stale, they become hard and have a crumbly texture. They also become dry and aren’t half as good as fresh cookies.

Why Do Cookies Go Stale?
Cookies go stale when they are exposed to moisture for a long duration. This can happen even after you keep them in air-tight containers. Since they have a shelf-life of 2-3 weeks, beyond that time, the cookies will go stale.

Introduction

Everyone loves chocolates. Its bitter sweet taste is enticing, enriching, and quite frankly addictive. Having a bad day? Eat chocolates to feel better. Had a great day? Savour the moment with a bite of your favourite chocolate. Chocolates can make any occasion feel perfect. Everyone should have them so that they can try them out every once in a while, right?

With a dedicated branch of chocolate-making within our bakery to serve our esteemed customers, Bakers’ Fun knows how much people love chocolates. And no, not just any chocolate. Customers love hand-made, delicious goodies that are carved out with love and perfection. That’s why our dedicated branch of chocolate-making called Impressions works full-time to ensure that you get the best chocolates every time you crave them.

Since we all love chocolates so much, it’s time to understand them a little more today. What makes them so perfect? How you do judge a hand-made chocolate’s quality? Why should they be your first choice whenever you go out to buy a bar? These are some of the things we shall be talking about today.

How to Evaluate a Good Chocolate Brand

Numerous home-grown brands are popularizing hand-made chocolates. From lovely packaging to attractive deals, these chocolates are not just worth their looks but also their taste. Authentically made using the best of ingredients, these chocolates are so much better than the machine-made chocolates found so easily all over the markets.

But trying these hand-made chocolates may be dicey. Afterall, you do not know much about them. How do you trust their taste? Even if your favourite bakery (read Bakers’ Fun) makes them, can they assure the quality you are looking for?

When you try chocolates for the first time, look out for the following things.

  • Use your sensory organs to evaluate. Don’t just gobble them up in stress. Linger over each piece, roll the chunk in your mouth for some time. Understand the quality of your sensory organs.
  • Look out for blemishes and bubbles on the surface. A bar of good quality chocolate should not have them but should appear glossy.
  • Some chocolates have a silky texture while others don’t. Note the difference when you pick them.
  • It is common for chocolates to be infused with spices, vanilla scent, and so on. But if the secondary ingredient overpowers the aroma of chocolates, it is a problematic bar of chocolate. Avoid it.
  • Did you know that the sound of chocolate when you break a bar is also a good indicator of quality? A good chocolate bar will break with a clean, crisp, and sharp snap. Milk and white chocolates, on the other hand, tend to bend more easily because of the high sugar and milk content. They will not snap and break easily.
  • A bar of high-quality chocolate will feel velvety and smooth when you taste it.

Conclusion

Chocolates indeed come in many varieties. Nowadays chocolatiers like to experiment with the raw quality of dark chocolates by infusing spices, milk, sugar, and a lot more things to make them interesting. Some of these experiments are surely interesting while many others fall flat on the taste palate. If you like to try out new varieties of chocolates, you should definitely visit the Bakers’ Fun stores to check the Impressions range of chocolate. We also use these hand-made chocolates in our cakes (which is what makes our chocolate cakes is delicious).

If you are ever tired, stressed, or joyful, try out our Impressions chocolates and you will keep coming back for more

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hand-Made Chocolates Better?
Hand-made chocolates are diligently made by a dedicated group of people who tirelessly go through each ingredient to sift out the good from the bad. They always ensure quality over quantity. If you want authentic chocolates, hand-made ones are better.

Do Hand-made Chocolates Last Long?
Unlike machine-made, boxed chocolates, hand-made chocolates do not last for months. They are at the peak of their quality for 2-3 weeks. It is best if you consume them within this period.

How Should I Store Home-made Chocolates?
Do not refrigerate hand-made chocolates. Keep them in a cool and dry place, preferably in an air-tight container. Keeping them away from light helps.

Birthdays are incomplete without cakes. We spend a considerable amount of time planning the cake, choosing the best baker in town to help design a dream cake – simply to see the smile on our loved one’s face. But what happens when there is leftover cake – bits and pieces that got left behind in the plate? Do you throw them? No, you don’t.

Being in the bakery business for the last 30 years, we know that every cake we bake isn’t consumed fresh. It is true that all the cakes from the Bakers’ Fun kitchen are fresh but keep them for over 24 or 48 hours and they do become stale. So, what should you do when your precious birthday cake is left unfinished?

In today’s blog, we shall discuss some of the things that you can do with your unfinished cake. Keep reading and know some exciting ways to eat leftover cake.

4 Ways to Turn Leftover Cakes into Delicious Desserts

There are many ways leftover cakes can be turned into delicious desserts. Try the tricks we mention below and make sure that you don’t throw any cake from now on.

  • Ice Cream Mix-ins – They are great dessert options especially when you have quite a lot of cake leftover. To make the mix-in, simply turn the cake into crumbs. Fold them into softened ice cream and you will have the sweetest, most delectable DIY dessert.
  • Cake Shake – Just the name is enough to make you drool, isn’t it? Making a cake shake is simple – put the stale cake crumbs into the blender (if the frosting is also left, pour it in too), throw in a couple of scoops of ice cream, and just a little bit of milk, and voila! your cake shake is ready!
  • Trifle –It is a well-known English dessert made typically with leftover cakes. To make a trifle, you need to layer cake crumbs with custard, fruit, and anything else that goes well with your cake’s flavour. It’s a simple dessert and possibly one of the best ways to eat stale cakes.
  • Cake Pudding –Don’t want to do too much with your leftover cake? Don’t worry, the cake pudding is the easiest way to finish what’s left over from the birthday cake. Simply add some chocolate sauce over the dried cake and mix it up well in a cup. Pour in some more chocolate sauce and a cherry to finish off! The simplest cake pudding is ready for you!

Conclusion

Now you don’t need to worry about leftover cakes anymore. Turn them into cool shakes, make yummy pudding or transform them completely with just the right amount of ice cream. Your all-new cake desserts are ready. Now you can order the biggest and the best cake for that special occasion without worrying about leftovers.

Introduction

Everyone has tasted a cake at least once in their lifetime. Of course, that may be the understatement of the year since cakes and occasions always go hand-in-hand. This means that you probably have eaten the best, most sumptuous cake more than just once in your life. Buying a cake, however, is a different story. When you step into a bakery, you are likely to choose the most attractive cake. But is that how you should be making a cake selection?

At Bakers’ Fun, we have witnessed all sorts of customers – the know-it-allsas well as the confused lots. From our experience of dealing with all sorts of customers, we have realized one thing. Not everyone understands cakes as we do. That’s the reason we decided to dedicate a blog on the ABCs of cakes. In this article, you will know every basic thing there is to know about cakes and how they are baked.

We have baked over a million cakes in the last thirty years. From simple vanilla and chocolate cakes to elaborately decorated fondant cakes, we have met all kinds of customer requirements.

Know the ABCs of Cakes

While you all must have eaten cakes regularly, not all have baked one in their life. This means that you may not know what goes in while baking a cake. And that’s okay. Most bakers wouldn’t want you to know! But at Bakers’ Fun we believe that when you are enjoying our Chocolate Truffle Cake or a Pineapple Cake, you must also know how it was baked.

So, here are the A, B, and C of baking! Take a look.

A –What Goes into Baking a Cake
There are three primary ingredients that you must have to bake a cake – all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder. Eggs are important too, but you can bake without them too by substituting the eggs with condensed milk or some other protein powder. A pinch of salt is recommended by most bakers and oil or butter gives the cake texture. A couple of drops of essence is also important. Several other things may be added to these basic ingredients to accentuate the taste. Choco powder gives a chocolaty flavor while tutti-fruity adds nuttiness to the cake and so on.

  • B –How Much Time It Takes To Bake a Cake
    Once you fold the dry mix into the wet mix, your batter is ready. Now is the time to put it into the oven to bake it. Typically, it takes about 40 to 60 minutes to bake a cake. The average temperature most use is 180 degrees. Once baked, bakers like to rest the cake for a good 12 hours before decorating it. This prepares and sets the cake.
  • C –How Much Does It Cost to Decorate a Cake
    Decorations on cakes have become a huge thing recently. An experienced baker’s hand can easily turn around the look of a cake with their skills and expertise. You can easily find many videos on cake decoration hacks that may help you if you are learning how to decorate cakes. A baker can take roughly an hour to decorate a 1 kg cake. However, the time also depends on the complexity of the cake decorations.

Conclusion

Baking is an art. It is not only about using the right proportions of ingredients but also knowing how to bake each cake differently. Moreover, for decorations, you need a whole set of expertise that can only come with experience. That is why bakers are always preferred when you want a specially decorated birthday cake. At Bakers’ Fun, we regularly get requests for custom cakes. These requests come our way because we have always met our customers’ expectations. If you have a special request, we will be happy to assist. Call us, visit our bakery, or check out our cake varieties on the website to know more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Basics of Cake Baking?

To bake a cake, you need flour, sugar, salt, oil, eggs, and baking powder. It takes about 40 to 60 minutes to bake a cake and another hour or so to decorate it. Resting the cake in between is important.

Do You Take Custom Orders for Birthday Cakes?
Yes, at Bakers’ Fun you can order custom birthday cakes. Tell us your requirements and our bakers will meet your expectations.

Introduction

Have you recently pulled out a cake from the oven only to be hit by a strong eggy smell? Yes, that has happened to the best of bakers and to us too! While eggs are one of the key ingredients that make cakes fluffy and spongy, sometimes their overbearing smell can completely spoil the cake-eating experience. The good news is that you can avoid the eggy smell next time you bake by trying a few hacks here and there.

At Bakers’ Fun, our experience of over 30 years with baking has taught us one thing – baking cannot be perfect every single time. Sometimes just a pinch of extra “something” can enhance or spoil the outcome, but that’s okay. With eggs too, we have usually been successful in keeping their pungent taste off the outcome but sometimes that smell can persist.

If you are looking for tips on how to fix egg smell in baking products, this blog will have all the answers for you. So, keep reading.

Fixing Egg Smell in Baking Products – Some Easy Tips

It is not easy to always pinpoint why a cake is left with an eggy smell after baking. But some conclusions can be drawn. Here obviously the culprit is egg, but sometimes it is also how you mix the batter.

Not Beating the Eggs

One of the most common reasons for the eggy smell is the fact that eggs are not beaten enough. When this isn’t done diligently, egg protein becomes uncurled which eventually straightens them out. This makes the outcome very “eggy”.

To ensure this doesn’t happen, it’s important you beat the eggs properly. An electric mixer is always recommended but if you don’t have one, use your muscle power to power on!

Overcooking the Cake

If you are overcooking your cake, that may be the cause of the eggy smell. We don’t often face this problem but know other bakers complaining of the same. As of what we know now, this most likely happens as while the cake bake, eggs release sulphur. The more you cook, the more this is released.

Hide the Egginess   

If you are unsure about balancing the eggy smell, use a stronger ingredient to be on the safe side. All you need to do is add a little bit of cinnamon, lemon, clove, coffee, or vanilla to your batter to balance the flavours. You can also increase the amount of essence you use.

Go Eggless   

If you are too sensitive to the eggy smell, skip them altogether. You can make a variety of eggless cakes that come out as soft and fluffy as the eggy ones. At Bakers’ Fun, we have many eggless options that we bake using protein powder and milkmaid. Whether it is the 50th Birthday Cake or the Yellow Themed Baby Shower Cake, you will find a host of options at our store.

Conclusion

Whenever we think cakes, we think eggs. Unfortunately, eggs come with a tardy smell that often spoils the overall taste of a cake. This can easily be avoided if you know how to prepare your batter. All the cakes coming out of the Bakers’ Fun oven are not only fresh but are devoid of any eggy smell so that you can enjoy them – not once but always! So, try them today.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I Avoid the Egg Smell From My Baked Goods?

Ensuring that you don’t overcook your batter can help remove the eggy smell. Adding an adequate amount of essence can also help overcome the eggy smell.

Do Your Cakes Have an Overbearing Eggy Smell?
No, they don’t! Every cake sold at the Bakers’ Fun is made in such a manner that the eggy smell doesn’t linger once it’s out of the oven.

Are Eggless Cakes a Good Option If I Don’t Like The Eggy Smell of Cakes?
Yes, eggless cakes are a good option especially if you find the eggy smell pungent. However, you can buy the best bakes in town and be sure that you don’t get the eggy smell.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed many things in our lives. From adjusting to work-from-home schedules to ordering in food instead of going out, over the last two years, we have adjusted to many new things. In this state of “new normal”, we are increasingly relying on Internet-based services to meet our day-to-day needs. Whether it is luxury items or basic amenities, we now prefer things to be delivered at our doorsteps.

Relying on delivery channels is one of the many things that Covid-19 has taught us. Until now most of us would invariably go to a bakery store before buying a cake. But today that’s not the case. Whenever our sweet tooth compels us to visit our favourite bakery, we may have to stop ourselves. No, not from eating cakes and cupcakes but from always visiting their store. We can order online.

In today’s blog, we shall be discussing some of the delivery channels that you can rely on while ordering your favourite bakery products.

4 Delivery Channels to Keep in Mind While Buying Bakery Products

Ordering food online has become very easy. Even though most of these platforms were known to customers before 2020, the pandemic ensured that we now rely on them. So, what are these delivery channels we are talking about? Let’s take a look.

1. Buying through Intermediaries – There are quite a few online food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato that make ordering food easy. The best bakers in town are usually listedon these platforms which means that ordering your favourite chocolate cake or vanilla cake is now a matter of a few clicks on their apps.

2.Buying Through Reserved Channels –You can also place an order directly at the bakery’s website. These are called reserved channels. You can either call their customer care and place an order or visit their website. The Bakers’ Fun website functions much like an e-commerce site and adding cakes to the cart is very easy. You can alternatively call us at +91 8639350432.

3.Buying Through Social Media –Also called Social Media Commerce, this system allows customers to directly order from social media platforms such as Facebook , YoutubeTwitter and Instagram. WhatsApp is also used for this purpose. All you need to do is send a Direct Message (DM) to the baker’s social media handle placing your order. At Bakers’ Fun, we ensure that all such DMs are promptly answered.

4.Direct Buying – Though ordering online is definingly an easy option, nothing can replace the experience of stepping into a store and buying a cake for oneself. You can visit the Bakers’ Fun bakery anytime you want and see the fresh cakes for yourself.

Conclusion

Multiple delivery channels have made it easier for customers to order food. Continuous restrictions on movements due to the infectious spread of the virus means that we must sit at home and order our favourite cakes through these delivery channels.

6 Tips to Ace Your Cake Decorations

Cakes that are beautifully decorated with fresh icing and fondant look resplendent, don’t they? Did you know it doesn’t take much to decorate a well-baked cake? All you need is patience and the right ingredients, and you can decorate one yourself anytime you want. Keep the following tips in mind to get it right every single time.

1. Start By Decorating a Plain Round Cake – We recommend you begin with the basics and in this case, it’s decorating a plain round cake. With a simple round cake, you have clean edges to work on and a simple, single-tiered structure.

2. Get Your Things Together Before Starting–Don’t bake the cake first and then rush to the market to buy the decorative items! Have a bunch of piping bags, a turntable, a spatula knife, and your icing cream ready.

3. Level The Cake Before Beginning – Any batter that is properly mixed and folded will rise. This means that the center is likely to rise like a hilltop. Icing such a cake is never recommended. So, before you begin, level the cake by scrapping off the uneven parts.

4. Start From the Top– Put a dollop of cream on the top and gently spread it to the edges. From the center take the cream to the edges. It will take a little practice and a lot of patience. Make sure you are armed with both!

5. Choose the Nozzle for Piping –Before you put the icing into the piping bag, make sure you have chosen an appropriate nozzle. The right nozzle will give you the design of your choice. Use the border of the cakeas your line of sight and gently press the bag to let the cream ooze out.

6. Use Chocolate Sauce – An easy decorating hack is to use chocolate sauce, especially on the edges. Pour it lightly to the edges of your round cake to get a natural design.

Conclusion

Cake decorations have evolved over the years. We have witnessed this evolution. If earlier our customers liked a simple vanilla cake with fresh cream icing, today they look for fondant cakes with elaborate decorations. They pay attention to the minutest details and cakes with more details are highly valued. These cakes are very good to look at (and eat too) but preparing them needs time. We usually take about 5-6 hours to bake a cake and a day to simply decorate. However, if it’s a simple cake with icing, the entire thing can be completed within half a day!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does It Take to Decorate a Cake?

Depending on the type of icing you are using, it can take anything between 45 minutes to 6  hours! An expert can complete a simple buttercream icing within an hour but the same decoration on a tiered cake takes time.

Can I Decorate My Cakes?
Yes, you can. All you need to do is practice.

Why People Eat Chocolates When They Are In A Bad Mood

Mood fluctuations are a part of life. We get happy when something good happens to us, we feel sad when problems and worries surround our entire being. Eating chocolates, especially when we are in a bad mood, helps overcome the problem – if not really – but it at least gives us the strength to face them.

This happens because chocolates have an array of compounds that contribute to the pleasurable sensation of eating them.

  • Chocolates have highly active flavonoids that help activate anti-anxiety receptors in quite the same way as caffeine. This helps calm our minds, especially in stressed situations.
  • As a group of natural substances that have variable phenolic structures, flavonoids have positive effects on health. It is these flavonoids that help reduce blood pressure and improve the function of blood vessels.
  • According to a study published in The Lancet, chocolates contain four times of catechin which is a type of flavonoid – something that is also present in tea.
  • Research further shows that chocolates contain estrogen-like compounds that circulate in the blood and help reduce stress and depression.
  • It is also believed that women have very strong chocolate cravings just before and during their menstrual cycle. A lot of research studies are currently underway to understand this phenomenon.

Conclusion

Chocolates are stress-relievers and there is scientific evidence behind it. It activates the good mood-inducing hormones and relaxes our nerves. All of this is especially true with dark, unadulterated chocolates. If you are stressed or worried, have our specially made Impressions dark chocolate and see how easily you overcome all your stress and worries.

Introduction

Wikipedia has an apt description of a cookie. According to the online encyclopedia, “A cookie is a baked or cooked snack or dessert that is typically small, flat and sweet. It usually contains flour, sugar, egg, and some type of oil, fat, or butter. It may include other ingredients such as raisins, oats, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.” While it is undoubtedly an accurate description, it says nothing about a cookie’s crunch, gooey texture, or the fact that it is awesomeness reincarnated!

Let us share a secret. At Bakers’ Fun, we love cookies (though, the verdict on whether we love cookies more or cakes isn’t out yet), this can be safely said that we love them!

4 Tips on Storing Your Cookies Safely

There is something basic about cookies that you should know. There are two types of cookies mostly baked –dry cookies and soft cookies. Not only do their tastes differ but they must also be stored using different techniques. Before you order your favorite Choco cookies or ginger cookies, make sure you have ample air-tight containers. Parchment papers, freezer bags also come in handy. 

Storing Dry Cookies

So here is what you need to do for storing dry cookies.

  • Store them in air-tight containers, preferably Tupperware, but remember to do so at room temperature. The cookies should not be fresh out of the oven and hot, neither should they come out of the freezer.
  • We recommend you use separate freezer bags to store individual cookies. This increases the longevity of the cookies so that you can enjoy their days after you baked or purchased them.

Storing Soft Cookies

The thing about soft cookies is that they have a chewy texture which means that if they are exposed to air, they lose their moisture and thus become stale. If you like cookies to be soft and chewy, here is how you can improve their longevity.

  • Never pack different flavored cookies in the same jar. Flavors from one jar, especially stronger ones, can easily seep into the rest, thereby destroying them.
  • Placing parchment paper or wax paper between cookies can prevent the chewy cookies from sticking to each other.

Conclusion

Cookies are meant to be enjoyed with hot tea, coffee, or simply on their own. Have they when you feel low, munch on them when you are overjoyed, take a bite when you are worried too much – basically always have them!We like to keep our jar of cookies handy – in the morning and during the nights. Ours don’t get stale nor do they lose their texture. Follow the above-mentioned tips and we are sure you will also be able to enjoy your cookies.
