I have not yet met in my life people who would not like to eat sweets. How pleasant it is to relax with a cup of tea and sweets after a long day of work. And, despite the craze of the entire Internet community for sports and healthy eating, no, no, and you will indulge yourself with something forbidden. And if a big holiday is coming, such as New Year, Birthday or wedding, then there is no way to do without a cake! He should sum up the celebration, become a pleasant surprise and the main decoration of the table.

Some of us buy pastries in the store, some make it themselves, and some order from a private pastry chef.

Top 5 easiest recipes

In any business, first of all, include common sense! You don't have to tackle recipes with an asterisk right away. Choose whichever is simpler. The simpler is the better!

1. Cheesecake - the most popular dessert, is on the menu of any cafe and restaurant. Do you think it is difficult to prepare? At first glance, it might seem that yes. But in fact, everyone succeeds the first time! In addition, the cost of all the ingredients will come out no more than 600 rubles, and the preparation will take a maximum of 20 minutes of your time! Well, if you plan to bake to order, then this will be the most profitable cake. After all, you can sell it from 1,500 rubles and more. Don't believe me? Then watch the free master class https://profitroli-school.ru/chizkejk-master-klass.
2. bird's milk - the cake that we know from childhood. Delicate soufflé dessert that melts in your mouth will not leave anyone indifferent. The main advantage of the cake is that it can be prepared in the morning and served at lunchtime.
3. Pancho - an amazing combination of chocolate sponge cake, pineapple and walnuts under a delicate cream. You will love this recipe because you can bake a sponge cake in any shape, and it doesn't have to be smooth, perfect - you will still cut it into pieces. And Pancho's assembly is just a song! No alignments and complicated techniques - just saturate the biscuit pieces with cream and fold them up!
4. Mousse cake "Three chocolate" - despite the long name and the scary word "mousse" for many, this cake will not require fundamental skills from you. Not the cheapest set of ingredients, but the result is a gourmet gift and a complete delight!
5. Pancake cake - a brilliant invention! Each of us can bake pancakes. And it's just a little thing - mix any cream, grease pancakes with it and put it in a stack! Really awesome idea! And most importantly, you can experiment. You can bake yeast pancakes, you can fresh. Add cocoa to them - there will be a chocolate cake. Bake from oatmeal or rice flour - you get a pp cake. And some even manage to make them savory - for example, from liver or zucchini!

Very often, these recipes are included in the basic courses for beginner pastry chefs. Understandable and consistent, they will adorn any holiday.

How to learn the art of confectionery?

Independently and free

It was with this that I and many of my friends started. How does it usually work? We are looking for some recipes on the Internet, in books, we take from friends. And it seems like a cool recipe, judging by the stories / photos / reviews. You run to the store, buy a mountain of expensive products, then all day you do not get out of the kitchen, trying to do everything exactly. But as a result, something did not go well, there was a joint, and now, all the efforts were down the drain. The finished cake flies into the trash bin. Do you know such internet memes called “Expectation / Reality”? This is where it comes out. I wanted to surprise the guests, but in the end I made fun, and was upset myself.

No, it's not that you're a bad housewife. It's just that most of the free recipes on the Internet are unverified, and no one can guarantee you the perfect result. You yourself perfectly understand that you can write anything, attach a completely left-hand photo, and no one will guess anything.

And as a result, you will waste energy, time, money, spoil a bunch of expensive products, and everything is down the drain. And most importantly, it will be a shame so that all the desire to bake something will disappear.

Master classes

So why not work with real pastry chefs? Do you think it's long / expensive / boring?

Not at all! Sign up for a master class to try it! By the way, most pastry schools regularly organize free webinar master classes, where they teach newbies to bake cool cakes in minutes, share the secrets of their craft and answer questions from participants. As a result, you will learn a lot of new information.

FIND OUT IN 60 SECONDS WHAT IS WAITING FOR YOU:

I AM GOING TO A FREE MASTER CLASS!

Of course, a one-time master class will not solve all your problems. But then you:

1. Guaranteed to master the recipe.
2. You will be able to ask questions of interest on the air.
3. Surprise your loved ones with a new treat.
4. You will understand how easy it is for you to learn.
5. Decide if pastry is right for you and if it's worth continuing your studies.

If the decision is positive, then you should think about choosing full-fledged courses.

Online Courses

For some reason, many people want to get to live master classes. It would seem that everything is obvious. You stand next to the pastry chef, watch how he does, maybe you even get lucky and allow you to hold the mixer yourself. But in fact, everything turns out not to be the same as in beautiful films and TV shows. For live lessons, as a rule, a large group of students are recruited. After all, it is necessary to recoup the rent of the studio, and take into account the cost of products, and many other expenses. And as a result, the bazaar-station begins. Someone did not see anything, someone did not hear, someone did not understand and asks to repeat. And I left the courses, went home, and completely forgot what to do, but a lot of money was spent, time wasted, and the benefit is not the fact that it will come.

Therefore, I prefer online learning. Modern filming methods allow you to create the complete feeling that the teacher is right in front of you. Everything is perfectly visible, if you do not understand, you can rewind, or even pause. And most importantly - the complete feeling that you are alone with the teacher. Nobody interferes, does not push under the elbow, does not interrupt. And in general, there is no need to adjust, because you can study at a convenient time for you.

As a rule, I watch a video, figure out what's what, and then go to the kitchen, put my tablet or phone so that I can see it, and start cooking with the pastry chef. The immersion in the process is colossal!

There is always someone to ask a question. As a rule, while studying online, you get access to a general chat with a curator or, even better, an individual curator who is with you 24/7. He will explain what is not clear, will tell you how to replace the ingredients, if you have not found what is indicated in the recipe, will give good advice, and then he will sort out the mistakes so that you can take it into account for the future. Is this not a dream?

So, in the “ProfiTroli” confectionery school, you can go all the way from a beginner to a professional pastry chef by the hand with an individual curator. An individual approach to each student decides a lot.
Online courses of the "ProfiTroli" school:

Beginner Confectioner Course

Beginner Pastry Chef is a 2-month step-by-step online course consisting of 2 main modules (theory / practice), thanks to which you will learn how to cook 7 of the coolest and most unusual desserts. You will be able to please your loved ones and pleasantly surprise your friends. Even seasoned pastry chefs will envy you!

Candy Bar Course

Candy Bar is a 2-month online course consisting of 8 of the most popular desserts that have appeared recently, but have already won the hearts of millions of sweet tooths. These desserts will be an excellent alternative to traditional cakes and a highlight of any children's or youth holiday, because they can be used to decorate a candy bar or a sweet photo zone.

I myself have always loved to cook. But I got to a master class on making cakes relatively recently. Quite by accident, I discovered a new talent in myself and began to develop it. And for several years now I have been treating all my relatives, friends and colleagues with homemade sweets.

What do we need at the initial stage?

How to bake cakes at home? First, we need a kitchen. It can be anything. It is not at all necessary to have expensive professional household appliances. Even the oldest stove and oven will do. If only everything worked properly.

To knead the dough, you will need a mixer or blender with special attachments, which will later be useful for whipping creams. Of course, you can do everything by hand with a whisk, but it will take much more time and effort.

You will also have to buy several baking dishes of different diameters. For the smallest desserts, a 20 cm shape is suitable, and a large company can easily eat a 30 cm cake.

The pie does not have to be round. Therefore, square and rectangular shapes work well too. A variety of flowers, hearts and stars - at your discretion. For example, a heart-shaped crust can be easily cut and assembled from a round and square base.

Take care of the storage of food and ready-made cakes. You will definitely have to free up a separate shelf in the refrigerator for this. And if possible, then buy a separate refrigerator specifically for orders.

This is the minimum set of tools you will need. And you will definitely learn about professional gadgets and little tricks in my online school.

Let's start with the main thing - bake cakes

The base of any cake or pastry is cakes. They can be biscuit, honey, sour cream, kefir, from shortcrust, puff or choux pastry. There are countless options.

Each housewife has her own preferences and recipes. In order not to spoil the food and not waste time, find a proven master class on making cakes. Tall cakes with a small diameter are in fashion now. They look compact and stylish. To collect such a dessert, we need at least 3 cakes.

Creams

Untreated cakes are dry and lifeless. Therefore, we just need a cream! For my taste, the more cream the better. The most popular creams are made with whipped cream, condensed milk and butter, sour cream, cottage cheese or mascarpone, and there are various custards, chocolate ganaches and Kurds. A variety of flavors and colorants can be added for a bold flavor and color.

The cream is a kind of "cement" needed to assemble the cake. Therefore, the cream must be applied evenly and thoroughly coat all parts of the cake with it.

Assembling the cake

If you are making a cake for yourself and plan to eat it at home, you can assemble it on a large flat plate or platter. But if you are baking for sale, it is better to use disposable cardboard or plastic substrates.

We put the first cake and cover it with an even layer of cream, then on top of it the second cake and cream again. You can use several different creams and fillings in the same cake, with nuts, berries or jam between layers. If you do not want your masterpiece to look like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, then use a pastry bag and a spatula to apply the cream.

Decorations and decor

There are a huge number of decoration options. It all depends on your imagination and the wishes of the customer. And do not forget that the price and, in general, the demand for your pastries will depend on the beauty of the cake and its design.

1. Mastic is a paste based on powdered sugar, similar to plasticine. It is very convenient to sculpt figures of animals, fairy tale characters, comic book and cartoon characters from it. Such cakes are often ordered for children's parties. Their cost ranges from 800 to 2000 rubles. for 1 kg.
2. Fresh fruits and berries are not inferior to mastic in the popularity rating. They are liked to order by women who follow their figure. Yoghurt and curd creams are lower in calories, and fruits are in perfect harmony with them. Plus, decorating baked goods with fruit is the easiest way of all. For such a dessert, buyers are ready to pay from 500 to 1500 rubles. for 1 kg.
3. Gingerbread figurines and sweets are the current favorite in the market. All the salt is in printed gingerbread cakes with patterns of multi-colored glaze, which are prepared separately, and then stuck into the cake with special skewers, or "glued" onto the cream. Cooking such gingerbread cookies is not easy, because in order to decorate them, you need to have a strong hand and artistic talent. In addition to gingerbread, such cakes are abundantly sprinkled with sweets, meringues, dragees, waffles, marshmallows and other ready-made sweets that can be bought at any store. Average price 1200 - 1700 r. for 1 kg.
4. and velor cakes are all the rage. They are considered the most difficult and expensive to prepare. Their cost can be up to 3.5 thousand rubles per kilogram.

Decor is a topic that worries all novice pastry chefs, so the ProfiTroli school examines more than 10 options for the current design of cakes, and also provides a guide on modern types of decor, which every beginner can easily repeat. Just look at what beautiful desserts the students of online courses get after a couple of weeks of training.

Have you learned how to bake beautiful cakes? Then you will probably want to expand the range. What kind of desserts are now in great price?

1. Cupcakes are small cupcakes with a massive cream head sprinkled with various toppings. The price is 100-200 rubles per piece. But they don't sell them one by one. As a rule, the minimum order is 6 pieces or more.
2. Trifle is an English dessert made from biscuit, custard and whipped cream. Garnished with fresh fruit and served in portioned glasses. The approximate price is 200-300 rubles. a piece.
3. Cake pops are round cupcakes worn on a stick. In shape and size, they resemble a lollipop. Top them with chocolate and sprinkle with toppings. Price 80-150 rubles. a piece.

How to calculate the cost of a finished cake?

After you learn how to cook all these magical sweets, and from the category of beginners move to experienced bakers, you can think about opening your own bakery. And how to make this business profitable, I will tell you right now.

• The cost of products used in the preparation of cakes and cream;
• The cost of decorative items, dyes, fruits and toppings;
• Substrate and packaging price;
• Shipping costs for the delivery of the cake;
• Payment of utility bills (electricity, gas, water).

Add in the amount in which you estimate your work and time spent.

Compare these figures with the average market price of similar cakes.

Where to find your first customers?

After completing my courses, you should not immediately try to sell your baked goods. Try practicing with your friends and family first. I am sure that they will only be grateful to you for such experiences. And you will fill your hand.

It is through social networks that it is easiest to find the first customers. Create a separate Instagram account or post an ad on your contact wall. Ask your friends to repost your post. More advanced users can create their own baking site. You can advertise on thematic forums and mom blogs, for example, babyblog.ru or baby.ru.

Try to personalize your style. Think carefully about your packaging. It should not only be beautiful, but also ensure the safety of your creations during transportation.

My advice to you is to cook cakes only in a good mood. It is then that they will turn out to be unforgettably tasty. Therefore, I wish you a great mood, more inspiration and new creative ideas! Don't forget to subscribe to my blog and share the link on social media. See you soon!
