Culinary Arts
My aunt inspired me to learn how to bake because she is a baker and I always see her baking cakes and creating new things. I decided I also wanted to learn how to bake. In November of 2010, I enrolled myself into a culinary arts class at AC Moore. In this class, the instructor teaches me different techniques, how to make different types of cakes, how to decorate cakes, and the science behind it as well. It's very interesting and its my favorite form of art because not only can I express myself with what I create, but I can also enjoy it because its food. I know most of the basics of baking now, although I'm not a professional, and I will continue to learn how to make different things.
For my Quarter 2 art project, I decided to apply my knowledge of baking cakes to art. During the course of the quarter, I kept going to my culinary arts class and learning more about baking cakes which helped me with my final product. I took what I was being taught in class and what I learned with my aunt to make this cake. This one in particular is called Puerto Rican cake, because it's mixture consists of different ingredients, unlike most cakes. This cake is different because it contains almond extract, brandy wine (or rum, but preferably wine in this case) and "mojaito" which is a liquid that makes the cake moist.
Butter
*Note: The egg for this mixture has to be separated into two different things, the yolk & the white. They're used separately.
Butter and yolk mixed.
Flour is added
Teaspoon of Almond extract and brandywine is added, ingredients are mixed thoroughly in one direction. Egg white is also added.
