Everyone Can Bake: Simple Recipes to Master and Mix by Dominique Ansel
Some Lessons from the Master of Cronut
1. I can cook but Baking? Any complex process requires some supervision from an expert.
2. Think of each recipe like first day of school. It lowers expectations and becomes second nature.
3. Everything I need to know, I learned in Kindergarten. Ansel stresses about getting the basics right before innovation.
4. Similar but different. This is where you make controlled changes and observe the outcome.
5. Whats in the cake should be on top of it. The author says that the finishing components are a clue for what flavors are hidden on the inside.
Off Center for the decoration. I figured this from all the pictures even though it is listed in the tips for decoration. The cakes almost look like they have the calm on one side and the wave and surf on the other with the raw fruits.
Do things with intent.
Cake is a gift.
