We can get all of these things done with planning, a great team, and really big mixers.” Bon Appetit spends a day on the line with Brianna Fortiz, pastry chef at The Good Batch in Brooklyn, a small bakery that also operates as a mini factory for 200 wholesale clients in New York.

      You don't know what you're talking about. You can see her inexperience. And the owner doesn't want to deal with the cameras. And she can't teach anybody anything.

    very interesting. I admit I would have expected freshly baked cakes if I was buying one. But then I realized, if they are just baked, they would be too soft to frost like that.

    • @509734
      @509734 6 місяців тому +11

      I bet that’s the only reason why they freeze cakes so that they’re frost-able and they don’t stockpile them otherwise

    • @supernova622
      @supernova622 6 місяців тому +11

      It also allows you to do large batches of one variety at a time. If they were mixing and baking for a single cake at a time, they'd never be able to get ahead. It's time and cost inefficient
