Baking and cooking are said to be great mood boosters. I know a particular person, a woman who suffered from acute migraine. Her husband was clueless about how to deal with the situation and tried every rule in the book, right from counselling friends and doctors to going to the astrologist for advice. Nothing worked. But, gradually the troubled couple found a solution. Housework and specifically cooking seemed to be the answer. As the woman indulged in cooking and particularly baking, her migraine started to recede and she began to recover.
Baking does have that quality...its a nerve smoother. Infact cakes, have that special something about them. Our forefathers understood the importance of cakes and maybe this is the reason that they were revered upon so much in the earlier times, that no weddings, or birthday parties seemed to be complete without them. So, lets decode this phenomenon, this thing of our affection in our lives.
Cakes have originated from the viking word ‘kaka’. Cakes in the earlier times was made from the simple procedure of mixing butter, nuts and sweetening products like honey to breads. Breads too were made from a simple process where mixed grains were pounded and the paste formed was heated . Soon, as time passed and men gained more power over heating process, cake making became simpler and cakes became more sophisticated in nature.
Time changes and so cake making and baking them too changed. Now, in the modern era, one doesn’t have to toil in the kitchen and go through recipe books to learn baking. There are many avant garde cake making and pastry schools like International institute of culinary arts Delhi and Academy of Pastry Arts in Gurgaon where one can learn the tricks of the trade. Here everything is taught by complete hands on training which increases the dexterity of the students in the art of baking.
Cake craft and culinary arts is a new craft that has become popular with the masses. The students learn the profession in these baking and culinary schools according to latest trends.
Home bakers in Gurgaon is one place where one can get cakes that are ready made and delicious to the core. So, we know what ‘Having your cake and eating it too’ means...literally.
