Baking season here! When the weather turns cool, there’s nothing better than a home filled with the scent of just-baked bread, an apple pie warm from the oven, after-school cookies, or a soft, tender cake.
Many people are intimidated by baking, but whether you’re a first time baker, or a seasoned pro, Cindy Mushet, author of our new book The Art and Soul of Baking, has got the tips, tricks, and friendly advice to make every baking day a good one. During a dynamic demo, she’ll explain many of the most important techniques in baking, why they work, and how to avoid problems (as well as how to fix them!), plus 5 important tips for success that will improve your baking before you even turn on the mixer. She’ll answer your baking questions, and you’ll leave armed knowledge that will apply to anything you bake.
Cindy has the ability to make baking easily understood and entirely accessible. No more wondering what happened to your melted pie crust, heavy-textured cake, fallen soufflé or leaden bread. Whether you’re considering your first pumpkin pie or you’re looking for the fine points that make good baking even better, Cindy’s sense of humor and love for her craft will both inspire you and give you the tools needed to create wonderful baked goods at home.
