QUESTION 4: HOW TO COVER A CAKE IN FONDANT


How to cover a cake in fondant! 

1. Kneed the fondant out into a big circle, keeping turning the fondant and adding more icing sugar/starch to ensure that it does not stick. This Circle must be big enough to cover your cake, both top and sides.
2. Gently transfer the fondant to the cake, centering the piece of fondant in the middle of the cake. rolling the fondant then unrolling it is a popular method, as is draping the fondant carefully. folding the fondant as your might do for a pie crust, will create unsightly lines on the surface. start at the centre of the top of the cake and begin to push down the fondant, and out towards the edge of the cake. this pushes out air bubbles and creates a smooth surface. 
3. push the fondant down the sides of the cake, smoothing and stretching as you go until the fondant reaches the cake plate, press the fondant firmly to seal it. when the cake is finished take a sharp knife and cut off excess fondant that has had icing stuck to it as it becomes very sticky and hard to work with. 
4. Now you can decorate you cake in any way you want to, whether you’re going to pipe on fancy icing decorations or paint a beautiful backdrop with edible food colourings! 

QUESTION 3: FOOD SAFETY

FOOD SAFETY 

Food Poisoning: Food poisoning is most often caused by bacteria from food that has been poorly handled, stored or cooked. The food may actually look, taste and smell normal but still be no good 
Some people are more at risk from food poisoning than others, especially young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people suffering illnesses which compromise their immune systems.

The symptoms of food poisoning may vary depending on the type of bacteria or contaminants causing the illness. You may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Nausea 
Stomach cramps
Diarrhoea
Fever
Headaches
Symptoms can occur within 30 minutes after eating, or a number of hours later. They can be mild or severe. Some bacteria can also cause other symptoms and problems. Listeria bacteria may cause miscarriage or other serious illness in susceptible people.

Food safety zone

Displays temperature danger zone for hot, cold and frozen foodsLeaving food out to long at room temperature can cause bacteria to grow to dangerous levels that can cause serious illness. Bacteria grows most rapidly at the temperatures between 5°C- 60°C, doubling the number in as little as 20 minutes. This range is often called the Danger Zone.

Never leave food out of the refrigerator for over 2 hours. If the temperature is above 90°F. Place food in a container of ice.

Cross contamination is relevant to our week 2 cooking of the chicken parmigiana bake because we had to be careful with handling the chicken and making sure that we washed our hands before touching other foods and after every time touching the chicken.

Week 5: CAKE DECORATING

CAKE DECORATING
This week we decorated cakes! I made a 2 layer sponge cake covered in blue butter cream icing with marshmallow flowers. Things i did well was the sticking together the sponge cake, and also cutting and arranging the marshmallows into the flower shapes. Next time i cook this cake i will freeze my sponges for longer so that when i put the icing on the crumbs dont come off like they did. I will also be alot more careful when icing the cake so it doesn't all fall When i tasted the cake it was very tasty and the butter icing was very smooth but sweet.
