Cakes 2 This rotation is to produce a completed and plated cake for the Santiam Restaurant. This cake is to be advanced and plated in restaurant standards. Students should familiarize themselves with the main components of cakes (different cake mixing methods, frostings, assembly and decorating technique, etc.) for which both the packet recipes and textbook will be referenced. Production focus will have two main areas: 1.Cakes suited to large-scale production, appropriate to larger caterings. or 2. Highly ornate cakes with labor-intensive garnish Below is a list of recipes/techniques, which students should read in preparation for cake station: Egg foam mixing methods (text) Single and two-stage and creaming mixing methods (text) Meringue buttercreams (Swiss, Italian, French - text) Simple buttercreams (text & packet) Ganache (text) Packet recipe cakes (packet) Understanding of cake ingredients, especially chemical leaveners (text) Pan preparation, baking, cooling and storage (text) Decorating technique SHORT DOUGH STATION Short dough station includes quick bread, pies, cookies and tarts. Scones are produced daily, first thing in the morning. Students are required to produce many different pastry bases, but will find tremendous similarity in the ingredients and techniques. Proper understanding of gluten development, mixing methods, chemical leavening agents, and ingredient balances are key to short dough success. Students should read chapters in the text and recipes in the packet relating to: Pie crust & filling Biscuits, muffins, and other quick breads Cookies and tart dough Proper oven temperature Gluten development Blind baking technique Baking qualities of fats, flours, sugars, eggs Scones and two desserts daily should be produced from the short dough station. Gluten Free / Dietary Needs This station is to help you get accustomed to the ever growing needs of special diets and the process in which we handle them. You will be responsible for producing one dessert and one retail baked good for café and commons, daily. You will also learn substitutions of egg and dairy product. CUSTARD STATION Students in custard station will provide both stove top and oven baked custards. Also, students may commonly need to provide other pastry components to serve in combination, since many custards are used as fillings in compound desserts. Students should reference the text and packet on topics such as: Cheesecakes Oven-baked custards Stove top custard Egg temperatures (sugar dissolving, pasteurization, coagulation, breakage) Gelatin usage Tempering of egg products (not chocolate) Ice cream and frozen desserts Mousses, chiffons, cream pies Students will be required to produce a dessert daily LAMINATED DOUGH STATION The students in this station produce a variety of layered (or laminated) dough such as croissant, Danish, puff pastry and cinnamon rolls. Students should be creative with the finishing flavors and components of roll-in deserts, since the base dough is often a neutral-flavored serving vessel. The textbook, along with other professional bakery books, will provide a variety of examples for finished roll-in desserts, such as Tarte Tatin, Napoleon's, turnovers and Palmiers. Proper rolling technique is critical to the quality of roll-in dough, and students should read this chapter in the text carefully. Also included in the roll-in rotation are Pate a Choux and phyllo work. Custard components, such as pastry cream and Chantilly cream, are also commonly produced in roll-in station. Efficient use of time is critical in the roll-in station. Roll-in dough requires many resting periods, and making good use of this down time is necessary. Students are urged to have an entire dessert planned, so these gaps can be used for making the other components. One finished dessert and one dessert in progress are expected daily. SANTIAM DESSERTS The expectations of Second Year students will be to apply previous knowledge and skills toward Santiam Restaurant desserts, two each day. We encourage research and new presentations. This will be a chance to perfect decorating skills for a required special project. This project will be high end, well planned and presented to the public. The student(s) will be required to have all their desserts plated and ready to go by 10:45 a.m. The student(s) will also be expected to hold a brief menu meeting with Santiam wait staff at 10:30 a.m. Bakery Sous Chef Rotation Graded by: Chef Audrey Start time: 7:00am *Fall term start is immediately following Meats class *Winter term start time is immediately following Garde Manger class Objective: Bakery Sous is an opportunity for you to see “behind the scenes” how the Bakery kitchen functions on a daily basis- menu planning/ balance, ordering, instructing, and managing. You will work closely with the Bakery instructor to guide and assist with first year students while also practicing kitchen and time management skills. Expectations: Remember that you are setting an example to first year students, and it is not acceptable to be unprepared. You may also be asked to pick up vacant stations please be ready to do so. In order to earn an A or a B letter grade, you must go above and beyond the requirements. This would include things like instructing a demo, getting signs made for specials on the line, facilitating stock production, coordinating “opportunities,” etc. Please consult with the Bakery instructor before planning. Organize and manage the bakery reach-in coolers. This is your responsibility to make sure proper storage levels are being followed, all items are covered/wrapped, labeled and dated. Coordinate with the Bakery instructor the usage, recovery and utilization of products. Required Assignments: Final Day: 30% of your grade will come from a costing assignment. You must choose one bakery recipe during your rotation and calculate the food cost for the finished product (portion with garnish or frosting, plated). This assignment will be in two parts. Part 1 Cost out TOTAL RECIPE with TOTAL GARNISH/FROSTING (i.e. a whole cheesecake, apple pie, layer cake, etc.). This is due at the halfway point of your rotation (your Chef will give you the date due). Part 2 Cost out a single portion of the recipe you have chosen with garnish and/other elements to the dish. Once the raw plate cost is determined, you will need to calculate a selling price based on a 28% food cost. In a real-world scenario, Sous Chef’s often run the restaurant in the absence of the Executive Chef.
