LESSON 1

PREPARING INGREDIENTS, TOOLS, UTENSILS, AND EQUIPMENT


FOR BAKED PRODUCTS

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the preparation of baking ingredients, tools,


utensils and equipment for the production of baked products based on
standard recipes. In includes the proper use of equipment and utensils and
accurate measurement of ingredients.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


1. familiarize oneself on baking terminologies;
2. identify and explain the uses of the different baking tools,
equipment and accessories;
3. identify ingredients substitute;
4. measure ingredients using correct techniques and required tools;
and
5. observe sanitary practices.

LET US STUDY

Baking – is the process of cooking by indirect heat or dry heat in a


confined space as in a heated oven with the use of gas, electricity, wood,
charcoal, or oil at temperature from 250°F-450°F.

Baking can be the most fascinating experience for any person,


especially if the finished product looks good, smells good and tastes good. A
major part of success in baking depends upon the kind and quality of
ingredients used. Good quality ingredients result in good-quality baked
products.
Bread is said to be the first food created by humans. People all over
the world have been baking bread for thousands of years. Early bread was
flat, heavy and dry unlike the bread that most of us are familiar with today.
Cakes and other kinds of sweet baked foods were also among the products

5
of our forebears. Evidence of this was mentioned in the Bible. Some have
even been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs.
Nowadays, bakers offer such a variety of bread and cake that one
finds it hard to choose the kind to buy. Commercial bakeshops are found in
almost every neighborhood.
Baking is not only an enjoyable activity. it can also be an easy task,
provided one must have a basic knowledge of the baking tools to use, the
correct kind and amount of ingredients, and standard recipe.

BAKING TERMS

There are different terms that will help you understand the baking process
and appreciate it as an art and science too.

Bain Marie - (French) (bahn mah-REE) - (1) A hot water bath that is used to
keep food warm on the top of a stove. It is also used to cook custards and
baked eggs in the oven without curdling or cracking and also used to hold
sauces and to clarify butter. (2) The term is also used for a cooking utensil
which is a fairly large pan (or tray) which is partly filled with water. The food
to be cooked is placed in another container so that the food is not cooked
too quickly or harshly. chocolate or bake a custard such as cheesecake.

Bake – to cook by dry heat in the oven or enclosed space.

Baker's Percentage Method - Recipe formulas for food service or when


making large quantities are expressed in percentages for more accuracy.
Then the formula is converted to pounds and ounces.

Batter – any mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients that is thick
enough to hold its shape when dropped from spoon or rolled out.

Beat - To mix rapidly, smoothing the ingredients and adding air, using a
wire whisk, electric hand mixer or stand mixer.

Choux Pastry - (shoo) - derives from the French work "chou" which means
"cabbage." It was used to describe layered pastry, as the layers were thought
to resemble the leaves of cabbage. It is a kind of pastry made from smooth
dough consisting of flour, water, salt, butter, eggs, and sometimes sugar.
This pastry is used for cream puffs, éclairs, beignets, and other dishes
requiring a puff pastry.

Cream – to rub, mash, or work shortening against the side of the bowl with
back of the spoon until it is smooth and creamy.

6
Cream of Tartar - Common name for potassium bitartrate, a by-product of
wine-making. It is a major ingredient in baking powder and is used to
stabilize beaten egg whites.

Custard - is a combination of eggs and milk which may be sweetened or


unsweetened, cooked in a double boiler (as soft custard), or baked (which
gives it a jelly-like consistency). Custards require slow cooking and gentle
heat in order to prevent separation (curdling).

Cut and fold - a combination of two motions - to cut vertically through


mixture and to turn over by sliding tool across bottom of mixing bowl at
each turn. Proper folding prevents loss of air.

Cut In – to combine shortening and flour mixture until particles are


pea size enough to be used when making biscuits or pastry,
using a blender or two forks.

Whip – to beat rapidly with beater or mixer to incorporate air and


increase volume. Egg white, cream, and gelatin mixtures are
often whipped.

Fold – to combine delicate ingredients such as beaten egg white or


whipped cream with other mixture without losing air that has
been beaten in.

Sift – to pass dry ingredients through a sifter.

Grease – rub a pan or griddle with a thin layer of shortening or oil to


prevent sticking.

Dough – any mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients that is thick
enough to hold its shape and desired thickness

Knead – to work stiff dough by pushing with the heel of the hand,
folding it over until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Dredge – to sprinkle or coat with flour.

Puree – a thick mixture made from a pureed vegetable base.

Roux – a cooked mixture of flour and butter.

Stir – to mix food materials in a circular motion to blend thoroughly.

7
Confectioner’s sugar – also called icing or powdered sugar. It is
granulated that has been pulverized.

Fold – to combine by using two motions, cutting vertically through


the mixture turning over by sliding the spoon across the
bottom of a mixing bowl with each turn.

Milk bread – a white wheat bread in which either all of the liquid is
milk or it contains not less than 8.8 parts (by weight) of
milk solids for each 100 parts of flour (by weight)

KITCHEN AND BAKING UTENSILS

11
BAKING EQUIPMENT

12
BASIC INGREDIENTS USED IN BAKING

 Flour

Baking flour contributes body and structure, texture


and flavor to baked goods.

 Sugar

Sugar is used as sweetener, for tenderness, texture,


color and acts as a preservative.

 Egg

Eggs provide leavening; add color, texture, flavor,


and richness to the batter. They are very important
in helping to bind all the other ingredients together.
Beaten eggs are leavening agent as they incorporate
air into the batter, which will expand in the oven
and cause the cake to rise.

 Butter, margarine, or other shortening

Fats used in baking to tenderize the product by


shortening gluten strands.

13
LEAVENING AGENTS

 Baking powder and baking soda

Both baking powder and baking soda are chemical


leavening agents that cause batter to rise when baked.
The leavener enlarges the bubbles which are already
present in the batter produced through creaming of
ingredients.

 Yeast
Baker`s yeasts, like baking powder and baking
soda, is used to leavened baked goods. The
difference between these two leaveners is that
baking powder/soda reacts chemically to
produce the carbon dioxide that makes the
baked goods rise. Yeast, on the other hand, is a
living organism and the carbon dioxide it
produces is the result of the yeasts feeding on
the dough.
The two forms of baker`s yeast are;
compressed/fresh yeast and dehydrated
granules/dry yeast.

 Liquid – necessary for hydrating flour proteins;


such as milk, juices and coconut milk.

 Salt improves the flavor of yeast breads and


retards yeast activity.

14
How to Measure Ingredients

The accurate measurement of ingredients is important to assure good


results. There is a particular measuring cup and spoon for dry and liquid
ingredients.

Measuring Dry Ingredients

Sift flour and other dry ingredients


before measuring them. Fill the cup or spoon
until full. Do not shake or tap the cup. Level
off the cup of flour with a spatula.
Since most recipes call for packed
brown sugar, press it firmly into the cup.

Measuring Shortening, Butter, and


Mayonnaise

Pack the shortening into the cup so


that all air spaces are pressed out. Level off
the cup with a spatula.

Measuring Liquids

Use measuring cups for liquids. Always check the measurement at eye
level. When measuring a thick liquid lightly grease the measuring cups.

15
Baking Ingredient Substitutions and Recommended Amounts

Sometimes you may find it necessary to substitute one ingredient for


another in a recipe. But using a different ingredient may change both the
taste and texture of your baking, so it is a good idea before substituting to
understand the role that ingredient plays in the recipe. Use this table as a
guideline only.

LESSON 1

PREPARING AND PRODUCING YEAST BASED PRODUCTS

WHAT IS THIS LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the preparation and production of yeast


products based on standard recipes it includes the proper use of
equipment and utensils and correct measurement of ingredients.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


1. prepare and produce yeast products.
2. select the equipment and utensils intended for baking yeast
products.
3. apply the techniques in baking the basic lean dough recipe.

LET US STUDY

Preparing yeast breads is different from baking cake. The latter


requires less energy while the other one needs more strength and
stamina in kneading the dough. It’s a rewarding experience for the
students to prepare the dough and bake delicious yeast bread.

Yeast Bread – breads are simply baked dough made of flour and
water and leavened with yeast, plus some additional ingredients, to
make them rich.

Baking – is the process of cooking by indirect heat or dry heat in a


confined space as in a heated oven with the use of gas, electricity,
wood, charcoal, or oil at temperature from 250°F-450°F.

3
Definition of Terms
1. Stir – to blend ingredients in a circular motion.
2. Pour – to discharge or unload content.
3. Knead – to mix dough with a pressing motion accompanied
by folding and stretching.
4. Seal – to fasten or close
5. Dissolve – to mix a dry substance with liquid until it is
liquefied.
6. Blend – to combine ingredients thoroughly.
7. Dough – a mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients thick
enough to be kneaded or rolled.

CLASSIFICATION OF YEAST BREADS

1. Lean – the basic ingredients flour, water, yeast and salt.


2. Rich or specialty breads – has additional ingredients like sugar,
milk, shortening, egg, dried fruits, nuts, seeds and flavoring
extracts.

TWO BASIC METHODS OF MIXING YEAST BREAD

1. The Straight Dough Method – This method combines all the


ingredients together at one time to make the dough. The dough
is kneaded and set aside to rise.

2. The Sponge Method – This method mixes part of the liquid, flour,
and all the yeast to make a soft mixture which is set aside to
rise until bubbly. Then, the remaining ingredients are added
and the mixture is treated as straight dough.

THE BASIC INGREDIENTS OF YEAST BREADS

1. Flour – responsible for the loaf structure


2. Liquid – necessary for hydrating flour proteins.
3. Yeast – to produce carbon dioxide for leavening.
4. Salt – improves the flavor of yeast breads and retards yeast
activity.
5. Fat – adds flavor and richness, retains moistness and delays
staling of breads.
6. Eggs – help in strengthening the frameworks or structure of the
baked product.

4
GENERAL GUIDELINES IN COMBINING AND MIXING
INGREDIENTS

In bread making, it is basic to soften the yeast at the right


temperature and to distribute it evenly throughout the dough mixture.
Very hot temperature will kill the yeast; too cold temperatures will
retard the growth of the yeast and consequently, slow down the
production of gas. If the weather is warm, you may just use tap water.

If you use active dry yeast or compressed fresh yeast, soften it


first in the required amount of water. If you use instant yeast, just
add it to the other ingredients without softening in water.

You may dissolve the salt and the sugar in part with the liquid
needed or sift them together with the flour and other dry ingredients
to ensure their proper distribution within the dough.

Characteristics of a Well-Made Bread

Yeast bread of high quality has the following characteristics:


 Well rounded top, free from cracks and budges.
 Crust is thin with an even golden brown color.
 It has fine and even grain.
 It does not crumble easily.
 It has good aroma.

Causes of Poor Quality Bread

Pale Crust – too slow oven; too little sugar, too much salt
Crumbly loaf - weak flour, insufficient fermentation
Coarse Grain - low grade flour, inferior yeast.
Sour taste - poor yeast, over fermentation, too high temperature
while baking.

BAKING TERMS

There are different terms that will help you understand the baking
process and appreciate it as an art and science too.

Bake – to cook by dry heat in the oven or enclosed space.


Cream – to rub, mash, or work shortening against the side of the
bowl with back of the spoon until it is smooth and creamy.
Blend – to mix thoroughly two or more ingredients until you
cannot tell one from the other. A spoon or a mixer is used.
Beat – a fork, wire whisk, or a beater is used to make a mixture
smooth or light
Whip – to beat rapidly with beater or mixer to incorporate air and
increase volume. Egg white, cream, and gelatin mixtures are often
whipped.
Fold – to combine delicate ingredients such as beaten egg white
or whipped cream with other mixture without losing air that has
been beaten in.
Cut In – to combine shortening and flour mixture until particles
are tiny enough to be used when making biscuits or pastry, using
a blender or two forks
Sift – to pass dry ingredients through a sifter.
Grease – rub a pan or griddle with a thin layer of shortening or
oil to prevent sticking.
Batter – any mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients that is
thick enough to hold its shape when dropped from spoon or rolled
out.
Dough – any mixture of flour, liquid, and other ingredients that is
thick enough to hold its shape.

7
Roll Out – to flatten a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it is of
the desired thickness. Pie crust, cookies, any biscuits are usually
rolled out.
Knead – to work a stiff dough by pushing with the heel of the
hand, folding it over until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

How to Measure Ingredients

The accurate measurement of ingredients is important to assure


good results. There is a particular measuring cup and spoon for dry
and liquid ingredients.

Measuring Dry Ingredients

Sift flour and other dry ingredients


before measuring them. Fill the cup or spoon
until full. Do not shake or tap the cup. Level
off the cup of flour with a spatula.
Since most recipes call for packed
brown sugar, press it firmly into the cup.

Measuring Shortening, Butter, and


Mayonnaise

Pack the shortening into the cup so


that all air spaces are pressed out. Level off
the cup with a spatula.

Measuring Liquids

Use measuring cups for liquids.


Always check the measurement at eye
level. When measuring a thick liquid
lightly grease the measuring utensils.

12
LET US REMEMBER

All the steps involved in bread making must be carefully


followed and applied to produce high quality yeast bread. Temperature
should also be taken into consideration, very hot temperature will kill
the yeast; cold temperature will retard the growth of the yeast and
consequently slow down the production of gas affecting the quality of
the bread. Bear in mind that the success of baking yeast bread is in
the correct mixing of ingredients and proper handling of the dough.

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED

1. Differentiate Straight Dough and Sponge Dough method.

PORTIONING AND STORING PASTRY, CAKES AND


BREAD PRODUCTS

WHAT IS THIS LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the proper portioning, packaging,


storing of cakes and yeast baked products.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


a. portion, pack and label baked products properly; and
b. value the importance of familiarizing the proper portioning
and storing cakes and yeast bread

15
TIPS ON HOW TO STORE BAKED PRODUCTS

1. Place product in tightly covered containers to prevent drying out


and crushing.
2. Individually wrapped products, in moisture and vapor proof
packaging materials.
3. For longer storage, butter type cakes may be frozen after
wrapping properly in moisture and vapor proof materials
4. To serve and refresh, thaw out at room temperature from setting
into the crumb causing sogginess.
5. Before storing bread, wrap it to keep it from drying out. Keep
bread at room temperature in a bread box. Day old bread is just
right. Refrigeration slows down the growth of molds.
6. As soon as the bread is cooled, wrap it or place in a moisture –
proof containers to keep it fresh.
7. Yeast breads are stored in a cool, clean, well ventilated bread
box. Keep the bread box washed and scalded and dried in the
sun.

STEPS TO DETERMINE THE COST OF THE PORTION OF PASTRY


CAKES AND YEAST BREAD

1. List down all the ingredients used.


2. Make list of the operating expenses.
a. labor/ helper
b. gas/ fuel/ electricity
c. transportation
d. miscellaneous expenses (include the items like wrappers,
table napkins etc.)
e. Rental, if any
3. List down all the expenses for ingredients and the operating
expenses accordingly.
4. Determine the numbers of servings of cakes and yeast bread
prepared.
5. To get the cost per serving divide the total unit cost by the
number of portion of the product.
6. Decide how much to add to each unit cost for the selling price.
Those with low operating expenses may have a lower mark-up.

LESSON 1

PREPARING AND BAKING BASIC AND SPECIALIZED CAKES

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with preparing and baking basic and


specialized cakes.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


1. follow the techniques and procedures in producing basic and
special cakes;
2. bake simple and specialized cakes; and
3. follow safe work practices in the kitchen and laboratory.

LET US STUDY!

Gateaux – a cake, often a especially sponge cake that maybe from


almond flour instead of wheat flour.
Frosting – a mixture of sugar, egg white or fat, and flavoring of
various kinds used to coat or cover a cake.

Cake – a batter mixture, usually containing a leavening agent and


coated with icing and frosting.
Batter – a mixture of dry and liquid ingredients with a pouring
consistency.
Ingredients – any substance added to give flavor to the food.
Leaven – anything that causes fermentation.
Fermentation – the conversion of sugar into alcohol by yeast
enzymes
Shortening – fats made from refined, bleached vegetable oil that
have been made solid by a process called hydrogenation.
Hydrogenation – the act or process of subjecting to the action of
hydrogen as of fats and oil.
Foamy – covered with or full of foam.
Stiff – strong/ hard
Peak – highest point
Sponge – leavened dough
Tortes – a cake made with many eggs and ground nuts or even
bread crumbs instead of or in addition to flour.

4
Cakes – are special food items in every celebration. It ranges from
simple to elegant creations made from layers of cakes frosted with
icings. In baking cake, you must know the basic type of cake and from
that you can create cake by simply applying the frostings, flavoring
and presentation.
Cakes are made from some form of shortening, sweetening,
eggs, flour, milk and leavening agent.

Two classes of cakes


1. Sponge cakes – they are called foam cakes because the main
leavening agent is incorporated while beating egg whites. They are
those without fats.
2. Shortened cakes or batter cakes are cake butters containing fat.

Basic types of cake based on the ingredients used for leavening

1. Angel Food cake – Cake made from egg whites which act as
the main leavening agent, flour and sugar. It does not
contain any fat. A meringue is made from the egg whites
and sugar, then flour is folded in.

2. Butter cake – cake made of butter, sugar, eggs, flour


leavening agent (i.e. baking powder) and liquid. The butter is
creamed together with the sugar then eggs are added one at
a time. The dry and liquid ingredients are alternately added.

3. Chiffon cake – cake made of eggs, flour, liquid, sugar,


baking powder and oil. The volume and lightness of the cake
is due to the beaten eggwhites. The dry ingredients are
mixed with egg yolks, liquid and oil. The eggwhites are
beaten with sugar until stiff. The two mixtures are folded to
complete the batter.

4. Sponge cake – Cake whose ingredients are similar to a


chiffon cake except the oil. This cake does not use oil but
sometimes the recipe calls for melted butter. The eggs are
separately beaten until thick then folded together. The flour
is added last.

5
A. Techniques for Cake Making

1. Pre–heat – to light over about 10 minutes in advance to


allow the oven temperature to reach a desired degree of
heat.
2. Bake – to cook by dry heat especially in oven
3. Sift – to pass through a sieve to separate coarse particles
from fine particles.
4. Beat – to manipulate a mixture rapidly in order to
incorporate air and make the mixture smooth.
5. Blend – to mix two or more ingredients together until
well-combined
6. Combine – to put ingredients together.
7. Melt – to liquefy by heat
8. Mix – to combine ingredients usually by stirring evenly
distributed.
9. Portioning – to divide into serving sizes.
10. Folding – to mix delicately textured ingredients, using a
spatula, cut down through the mixture, go across the
bottom of the bowl and up and over close to the surface
while turning the bowl frequently.
11. Cut and fold – this involves two motions : cutting
vertically through the mixture and turning it over more
than once using a spoon or spatula or rubber scraper
across the bottom of a mixture bowl at each turn.
12. Creaming - to mix fat and sugar until smooth and at the
same time incorporating air into the mixture.
13. Stirring – to mix ingredients together in a circular motion
until well blended.
14. Whipping – to beat rapidly to incorporate air.
15. Frost – to coat or cover a cake.

6
B. Ingredients used for cake making

1. Dry ingredients
a. Cake flour
b. Sweetening agent
Sugar (granulated or refined, confectioner or
powdered, yellow or brown)
c. Leavening agent (baking powder, baking soda)
d. Cream of tartar
e. Salt
f. Chocolate

2. Liquid/Ingredients

a. Eggs ( binding agent ) – fresh, dried or canned


b. Fats ( butter, oil, shortening, margarine)
c. Liquid ( evaporated milk, fruit juices )
d. Water
e. Flavor ( vanilla, banana essence )

C. How To Measure Ingredients

1. Dry ingredients like flour and sugar are measured in


nested measuring cups which come in a set of ( 1 cup, ½
cup, 1/3cup and ¼ cup ). For cake flour and confectioner’s
sugar, ingredients are spooned onto the cup then leveled
off.. Sugar is measured by dipping the cups into the
ingredients, then leveling it off with spatula.

2. Liquid ingredients are poured into spouted glass


measuring cups placed on a flat surface. Measurement is
read at eye level.

3. Small quantities of dry and liquid ingredients are


measured using spoon, measuring 1 tablespoon, 1
teaspoon, ½ teaspoon, or ¼ teaspoon.
Dry ingredients are leveled off with a spatula.

4. Shortening is measured by pressing down firmly into the


measuring cup to make sure there are no air spaces.

5. Brown sugar is also packed firmly to ensure proper


measurement. When the cup is invented the measured
sugar should retain the shape of the cup.

6. Butter need not be measured in cups. One bar of butter is


already 1 cup so if you need ½ cup just divide the bar into
2 for 1/3 into 3, and so on.

7
D. Tools and Equipments

1. Cooking range with oven 9. Spatula


2. Electric mixer 10. Baking pan
3. Electric beater 11. Mixing bowl
4. Working table 12. Ladle
5. Measuring cups 13. Wooden spoon
6. Measuring spoons 14. Beater
7. Kitchen scale 15. Double boiler
8. Rubber scraper 16. Cake slicer

E. Methods of Mixing Cakes

1. Muffin method – the simplest method of mixing ingredients


for

3 main steps
 Sift together dry ingredients; flour, leavening, sugar,
and salt.
 Combine the liquid ingredients and milk, beaten
eggs, and flavoring.
 Add the liquid to the dry ingredients by making a
well in the center and pouring the liquid into the
well. Then stir the ingredients vigorously until they
are well mixed.

2. Conventional method – many bakeries still claim this is the


Best method to use for batter type
cakes. But this is the most laborious
and time consuming.

Steps and sequence are as follows:


 Cream the fat until light and fluffy
 Add the sugar gradually and continue creaming
until the two blended into the fluffy mass.
 Add the yolks and beat until well blended.
 Sift the dry ingredients.
 Add the flour mixture alternately with the liquid
ingredients of milk and flavoring, beginning and
ending with the flour.
 Fold in the beaten egg whites into the mixed batter.

3. New speed method – is called as one bowl method or quick


mix, easy mix method. This is best for
“high sugar ratio” cakes. The fat
recommended is hydrogenated
vegetable shortening because it contains
emulsifying agent.

8
Tips for Baking Quality Cakes

1. Use high quality ingredients.


2. Use well-tested recipes.
3. Accessibility of all ingredients.

LESSON 3

DECORATING CAKES

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the use of appropriate cake decorations


and types of icing in accordance with the occasions and standard
recipes and enterprise practices.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


1.Decorate cakes in accordance with occasions and standard
recipes
2.Use the suitable icings according to recipe or enterprise and
customers’ preferences.

LET US STUDY!

 Frost- to coat or cover the cake with icing


 Fondant icing – soft icing
 Lard – semisolid oil
 Whip – to beat rapidly to incorporate air
 Fluffy – being light, soft, or airy

Cakes, frosted or unfrosted, have been popular for thousands of


years. Highly decorated cakes have long been associated with holidays
and special events such as birthdays, weddings, and Christmas.

Cake Decorating

A finished cake is often enhanced with icing, or frosting, and


toppings such as sprinkles. The frosting on the cake is the proverbial
extra bit of goodness. Frosting is usually made from powdered sugar,
milk or cream, and often flavorings such as vanilla extract or cocoa
powder. Some decorators use a rolled fondant icing. Commercial
bakeries tend to use lard for the fat, and often whip the lard to
introduce air bubbles. This makes the icing light and spreadable.
Home bakers either use lard, butter, margarine or some combination.
Sprinkles are small and colored pieces of sugar.
In the 20th century, new cake decorating products become
available to the public. These include several specialized sprinkles and
even methods to print pictures and transfer the image onto a cake.

22
Special Tools for Cake Decorating

Piping bags or syringe, and various piping tips. To use a piping


bag or syringe, a piping tip is attached to the bag or syringe using a
coupler. The bag or syringe is partially filled with icing which is
sometimes colored. Using different piping tips and various techniques
a cake decorator can make many different designs. Basic decorating
tips include open star, closed star, basket weave, round, drop flower,
leaf, petal and specialty tips. Fondant icing (also known as sugar paste)
and butter cream are used as covering icings and to create
decorations. Floral sugar craft or wired sugar flowers are an important
part of cake decoration. Cakes for special occasion, such as wedding
cakes are traditionally rich fruit cakes, that are covered royal icing or
sugar paste. They are finished with piped borders and adorned with a
piped message, wired sugar flowers, hand-formed fondant flowers,
piped flowers or crystallized fruits or flowers such as grapes or violets.

Icings and Frostings

Icings and frostings are mixtures spread all over the cake to
make it more appealing. Though icings and frostings serve the same
purpose on cakes, they are different in their respective preparations
and ingredients.

Types of Frostings

1. Uncooked icings is a mixture made by creaming butter, sugar,


small amount of liquid and flavoring. It is also known as butter
icing.

2. Cooked frosting is a combination of sugar and liquid. It is


cooked like candy and requires some temperature attention. A
good example of cooked frosting is fudge frosting.

An icing is either a fluffy or thin mixture. Fluffy icing is a cooked


sugar mixture containing egg whites or yolks, stiff enough to spread in
swirls on cakes. Thin icing contains only sugar and liquid, cooked or
simply spread with a plastic brush.

A frosting is a thick mixture which either cooked or uncooked, used


only on cakes.

23
Tips on how to frost a cake

Frosting maybe applied whether a cake is warm or cold. If warm,


frosting should be thicker.

a. Trim cake if necessary to make it smooth and symmetrical.


b. Remove all loose crumbs.
c. Place cake on a smooth, flat surface.
d. Frost either top or bottom as desired.
e. Frosting must be cold when applied so that it will hold its
shape. If too soft, it will run off and tends to seep into the
cake.
f. Place enough frosting on the center to cover the cake top and
spread to the edges with one stroke of spatula.

LESSON 4

PRESENTING CAKES

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the presentation of cakes in accordance


with customers expectations, established standard procedure.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


 present cakes in accordance with customers expectations and

LET’S STUDY

The palatability of a cake is often enhanced by its presentation. If


a cake is beautifully frosted and decorated then, it becomes more
appealing.

Presentation of Cakes

Layered cakes can be presented on pedestal cover with fresh


flowers strategically placed around the base. This can even be the
center piece for your table.

Cut/Portioning of Cakes

The art of cake-cutting requires great care and skill to ensure no


party is left feeling cheated and envious. Now, however, parents and
party hosts can approach the task with a little more confidence.
Mathematicians claim to have found the perfect way to cut a cake and
keep everyone happy.

Basic Recipes for Pie Crust

Ingredients:

Single Pie Crust Double Pie Crust


All-purpose flour 1C 2C
Salt ½ tsp 1tsp
Shortening 1/3 tsp 2/3 C

Water (cold) 2 to 3 tsp 4 to 5 tsp

Procedure for Single Pie Crust:

1. Measure unsifted flour. Combine with


salt when sifting into the bowl. Measure
lard kept at room temperature and add
to the flour mixture. Use a pastry
blender or cut using two knives to blend
until the mixture looks like a coarse
meal.

2. Measure cold water and sprinkle over


the flour mixture. Press dough together
with a knife adding a few drops of water
until dough holds together.

3. Sprinkle a little flour on the kneading


board and rolling pin. Place the dough
on the board and form it into a ball with
your hand.

4. From the center, roll the dough to the


edges. Be sure to keep an even
thickness of the dough in all directions
to produce a perfect circle. Keep the
dough an inch bigger than the pie plate.

5. Transfer the dough from the board to


the pie plate using the rolling pin. Roll
the dough around the rolling pin, then
unroll over the pie plate carefully to

prevent breaking the dough. Fit the dough well on the plate and
prick it liberally with the tines of a fork. Bake in a preheated oven
at 450°F or 230°C for 12 to 15 minutes.

8
Procedure for Double Pie Crust:

1. Mix all the ingredients required for a


double pie crust following the same
procedure as the single crust. Divide the
dough into two. Roll out first the lower
crust and fit it carefully on a pie plate.
Prick liberally and set aside.

2. Prepare the desired filling and place it


over the prepared lower crust. Roll out
the other half of the dough and place it
over the lower crust to cover the filling.

3. Cut off the lower crust at pan edge. Cut


the edge of the top crust ½ inch wider
than the lower crust. Tuck the edge of
the top crust under the edge of the lower
crust.

4. Crimp the edge of the crust with the


tines of a fork or the tip of a teaspoon.
The top of a double pie crust is gashed
to let steam out. Bake double crust pies
at 425°F or 218°C for 30 to 35 minutes
if the filling is uncooked and 25 minutes
if the filling is cooked. The pie crust is
ready when it is flaky and becomes
golden brown in color.

Cookies

Baked products such as cookies are small, flat, sweet cakes


baked in a variety of shapes and flavors. There are hard cookies and
there are tender ones. People, especially children, love to eat cookies.
Cookies are a welcome gift during occasions like birthdays and
Christmas. Therefore, it is worthwhile to learn how to make cookies.

There are different types of cookies. Each type has its distinct
features and method of preparation. The different types of cookies
include the following:

 Drop cookies – This type of cookie requires simple technique


and little imagination. As the name implies, drop cookies are
made by merely dropping the mixture from a teaspoon onto a
greased baking sheet. This is reason why they come in irregular
and uneven shapes.
 Rolled cookies – This type of cookie especially designed to fit
significant occasions like Valentine’s Day, Easter, or Christmas.
Specific forms and shapes that are appropriate for a particular
occasion are made by using specially designed cutters to cut the
rolled dough.

 Pressed or bagged cookies – This is the special type of cookie.


It has more butter which makes the finished product richer in
taste than the other types of cookies. Pressed or bagged cookies
are made by pressing the mixture out of a cookie presser or
pastry tube onto the baking sheet, and at the same time forming
it into varied shapes like rings or ribbons.

 Cookie bars – This type of cookie is cut into bars after baking.
They are usually small and square in shape.

 Refrigerator cookies – This type is frozen and cut into desired


shapes before baking.

 All-purpose flour is commonly used in making cookies.

The mixing methods for cookies are practically the same


as those used for cakes. The difference lies in the liquid
requirement which is less in cookies than in cakes. When eggs
are added, liquid may not be needed.

LESSON 2

DECORATING AND PRESENTING PASTRY PRODUCTS

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals on how to decorate and present pastry


products.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


a. Select varieties of food used to decorate pastry and bakery
products
b. Decorate pastry and bakery products
c. Served pastry and other bake products attractively

LET US STUDY

Pies and pastries like cakes, are delightful to eat especially


when they are baked properly and attractively served. They are also
popular as desserts, can be served as main dishes, like meat and
poultry pastries. Decorating pastries is fun.
Here are some ways of decorating pastries.

21
Meringue – beaten egg whites and sprinkled with sugar, used to top
or cover pie

Glaze – to make pastry shiny or glossy by coating with syrup or clear


gelatin

Fluted Fruits – topped with fresh sliced of fruits to complement flavor


and appeal

Ways of decorating pie

22
Different ways of filling pies and pastries

One Crust Pie


 One way is to line a pie pan with a thin layer of pastry dough
and bake. Then, a cooked filling is poured onto the shell and
cooled. Sometimes, the filling can be topped with meringue or
whipped cream, if desired. Examples are lemon–meringue,
chocolate cream pies.
 Another way is to pour uncooked filling onto the unbaked shell
and bake them together. Examples are custard and pumpkin
pies.
 Another variation is to place the pastry dough on top of cooked
or uncooked fruits, vegetables, meat or poultry in a deep dish to
serve as covers and are baked together. Examples are deep–dish
chicken, apple pies and creamed meat dishes.

Two Crust Pie


 As the term implies, one layer of pastry dough which serves as
the lining is filled up with a filling of one’s choice and covered
with another layer of pastry dough which is sealed and fluted at
the edge and bake. Example: Buko and pineapple pies.
Tarts
 These are either one-crust or two-crust pie made for individual
servings. You can make fancy designs and shapes. Tarts are
light, crust is usually less than an inch thick. Special type of
molders which are shallow and fluted are used to baked tarts.
Turnovers
 These are two crust pies but small enough for individual
servings. Uncooked or cooked filling is placed on one half of a
thin layer of circular or rectangular pastry dough, and the other
half folded over it. The edges are then sealed and pinched or
fluted. Then the turnovers are baked. Examples are chicken and
apple turnovers.
Finishing your pie
 For glazed finish, brush pastry with beaten egg yolk
 To have shiny crust, brush lightly with milk, then bake.
 To give sugary finish, moisten crust with little water or egg white
then sprinkle with sugar before baking
Tips for pies
 Use butter that is cold
 Cut fat into the flour until pea-size crumbs are formed. These
will coat the flour particles and prevent to much absorption of
liquid
 Add enough water to form a ball of dough
 Don’t handle the dough too much because this will develop the
gluten and crust will not be tender and flaky.
 It is best to roll the dough between two sheets of wax paper or
plastic. Avoid dusting too much flour.

23
LET US REMEMBER

To make your pastries and baked products more attractive, you can
decorate it with varied seasonal fruits and meat fillings. It is important that
the juices of the fillings should be retained.

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED?

1. Why do you need to control the development of gluten in pastry


making? How does it affect the product?
2. Enumerate different fillings appropriate for pastry.
3. Give examples for each type of pie:
a. One crust
b. Double crust
c. Tarts
d. Turnovers

LET US APPLY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED

Prepare a pastry using different fillings of each type:


a. one-crust
b. double-crust

LESSON 3

STORING PASTRY PRODUCTS

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with the appropriate storage and


preservation of pastry products.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


a. store pastry products properly
b. preserve the freshness of pastry products

LET US STUDY

Most baked products except those that are served hot, may be
stored at room temperature for a few days, provided that they are
placed in highly covered containers to prevent drying out and
crushing. They may be individually wrapped in moisture and vapor-
proof packaging materials, then boxed or canned. Pies with cream or
fruit fillings, cream puffs and cakes with butter icing must be
refrigerated after these are adequately wrapped; use with in several
days.

For longer storage: cakes, pies, cookies, biscuits and muffins


may be frozen after wrapping properly in moisture and vapor-proof
materials. To serve and refreshen, thaw out at room temperature with
circulating air to prevent moisture from settling into the crumb
causing sogginess. Fruit pies may be reheated in a moderately hot
oven (190°C or 375°F) for three to free minutes.

Thaw – to pass from a frozen to a liquid state.


Sogginess – damp and heavy
Crumb – small, broken-off particle of bread, cake etc.
Crisp - firm and fresh
Soggy – thoroughly wet or damp and heavy
Mold – an often downy or furry growth of minute fungi on
vegetable or animal matter.

26
LET US REMEMBER

Before storing bread, wrap it to keep them from drying out. Keep bread at
room temperature in a bread box. Day-old bread is just right. Refrigeration
slows down the growth of mold.
Flour should be stored in covered containers and kept in a cool dry place.

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED?

1. How will you prevent baked products from drying out?


2. What will you do with the left-over pies, cream puffs and
cakes with butter icing?
3. Why should you keep baked products in a refrigerator?

LET US APPLY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED


1. Demonstrate to the class the proper storage of the:
 Cookies
 Pizza pie
 Left-over butter cake
 Flour

LESSON 1

ENSURING SUITABLE PACKAGING, STORING AND


TRANSPORTING OF FOOD

WHAT IS THIS LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with ensuring suitable packaging, storing and


transporting of food. It includes hygiene practices and food safety
regulatory on the storage and transportation of food.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:


1. control portion practices and principles; and
2. practice hygiene and food safety regulatory on storage
and transportation of food.

LET US STUDY

Containerization – to package in large standardized containers


or efficient shipping and handling
Bulk – size, mass or volume especially when very large

Aseptically – free of pathogenic micro organism hazard


a possible source of danger

Food Packaging has been defined by paine (1962) as the “art


science and technology of preparing goods for transport and sale”.
More specifically, it is a way of making sure that a product reaches
the end user in good condition at the least cost to the producer. In
effect, a packaging material provides the means of transporting a
product from one place to another with maximum protection at the
least cost. With this in mind, one may note, that in agricultural
nations, the first function of packaging lies in its ability to contain
agricultural products from the time of harvest to the point of use by
the consumer. Basic knowledge of food packaging would at once
appear most important. Post harvest handling, which includes choice
of packages, plays a major role in the guest for maximum utilization of
farm produce. For example fruits as sensitive as strawberries need
very protective containers from the time of harvest to the time they are
package for sale. This need for effective protection is generally true for

3
the most fruits and vegetables it is known that much farm losses are
traceable to poor handling and containerization in the farm site.
Portion control practices and principles

A package is expected to perform three major functions;

a) To contain – During harvest at the farm site, packages could


mean crates, baskets, boxes and the like to contain the farm
produce in bulk. These are also necessary to allow for stacking
the products in their containers for storage at the warehouse or
while awaiting transport, distribution or actual use.
At the food processing plant, the function of the
Package changes from concern mainly with bulk containers to
Its use as a unit pack. Users of food product for household
Consumption may need the goods in smaller packages.
Consumers generally have varied volume requirements for food
Products. Hence, packages are made to fit their need by
Allowing them to contain different quantities of food.

b) To protect – When rough handling of perishable foods are


minimized, speed of deterioration slows down. This is clearly
observed with the farm products which have been given effective
protection through proper use of the right containers.

c) To help sell – Some authorities say that more than 60% of the
cost of its package. This is especially so for bottled soft drinks,
aseptically packed fruit juices, wines in ceramic bottles, etc.
generally, consumers get attracted first to beauty, novelty or
additional utility of packaging materials. Many chocolate
candies outsell each other through their package presentations.
The package itself helps in product promotion. The more
Attractive it is, the greater the chances it will be noticed.

Storing and transporting of food

This is particularly important in designing the shipping


container. One has to consider:

a) The hazards of loading and unloading


b) Movement in vehicles
c) The warehousing methods and the environmental conditions
like relative humidity and temperature changes.

4
Food is packed in terms of quality, shelf life, microbial condition
And portion control. Spoilage of food is caused by poor packaging of
food.

a) pH of food- it simply indicates the inverse amount of hydrogen


ion available in the food system. This often times associated
with acidity of food. Thus, foods with high amounts of
hydrogen ion have low pH and this is considered to have
acidic taste. For instance, green mangoes have generally
lower pH (Ph below 4.0) and therefore have high acidity.

b) Moisture content – this is related to the physical state of the


food itself. Products with very high moisture could be those
in liquid form, while those with very low free moisture could
be dried or frozen. This product component is very important
relative to food spoilage. The higher the moisture content, the
greater the chances for microbial growth and chemical
changes.

c) Amount and nature of fat content – chemical processes also


accelerate breakdown of fats on food. Thus, products with
high fat content like oils, butter, soft cheese, fried foods and
the like tend to spoil fast when inadequately packaged.
Exposure to the atmosphere causes rapid oxidation breaking
down the fat into free fatty acids in food. The faster the
breakdown, the greater the chances of development of
rancidity.

d) Enzyme system – is a chemical processes like fermentation


and hydrolysis occur in high moisture food, especially in the
presence of oxygen of ambient tropical temperature. When
foods undergo these processes, they change in texture,
flavor, odor and color. Under these conditions, the product
may already be considered spoiled.

e) Initial Microbial load – micro organisms thrive best in high


moisture foods. Thus, molds, yeast, and bacteria grow fastest
in food with the hight moisture content.

Ambient

A package can be classified according to its use as follows;

a) As a primary package – this type of package is meant to


directly contain the product. Hence, it gets in direct contact
with the goods. Thus, for food, this package is expected to
meet all the requirements for safety and protection of the
consumers, tetra packs or canned food packages

b) As a secondary package – this is utilized to contain a specified


number of unit packs. Thus, it may contain a dozen tetra
packs or 2 dozen of tin cans or a gross of candies and so on.
Its major function is to allow for the unit packs to be carried
in bulk.

c) As a tertiary package – when transporting in bulk, the


secondary package may have to be packed again for greater
protection and for bulk transfer. Use of tertiary package is
normally for bulk transport or storage in large warehouse.

LET US REMEMBER

It may thus, be again recalled that the three major functions of


packaging material are to contain, to protect, and to help sell the
product.

LESSON 2

SELECTING APPROPRIATE PACKAGING MATERIAL TO SPECIFIC


FOODSTUFF

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with selecting packaging, appropriate to


different food items.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?


At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. Perform safe packaging within food safety requirements and


regulations; and
2. Select and use suitable packaging materials and methods
for different food items,

LET US STUDY

Compatible – capable of existing of functioning well with another

Lump - an irregularly shaped mass or piece

Impermeable – impossible to spread or pass through

Requirements for packaging

There are a number of packaging materials available to the


manufacturer. In choosing, it would be wise to consider the
requirement for packaging of food.

1. It must be simple and expensive. Packaging is and added


cost to the product; hence, its cost should be compatible
with the value of the product. Also, bear in mind that the
consumer is usually interested only in the product and
not in its package.

8
2. It must preferably be transparent and have glossy surfaces
to attract consumer. Consumers prefer to see what they are
buying, otherwise, they would think that they are being
cheated. Hence, products which are sensitive to light should
be packed in transparent material. Foods which are rich in
fat may be wrapped or contained in materials which is not
transparent.

3. It must have control over transfer or moisture. Flour mixes


or soup mixes must be packed in a material does not allow
entry of water vapor from the atmosphere to prevent
lumping or caking. Some foods are allowed to escape their
moisture to avoid sweating and condensation of water vapor.

4. It must have control over transfer of other gases/vapors.


Fruits and vegetables continue to respire after harvest a
process where they give up oxygen may result to
fermentation and too high carbon dioxide may injure fruits.
In some instances, where the packaging material does not
allow adequate gas transfer, it may be perforated.

5. It must be protect the food from crushing. This is


particularly important for the shipping of secondary
container.

6. It must not contain any toxic constituents. This is especially


important if the material comes in direct contact with the
food.

7. It must be able to withstand a wide temperature range in


storage and use. Frozen foods must be packed in material
that can tolerate storage temperature of 18% or lower.

9
Characteristics of different packaging material

1. Flexible packaging
a) Cellophane – a thin and transparent material that is made
of cellulose and contains variable amount of water
and softener. Cellophane is used to wrap baked good
confectionary, snack foods, processed meats, coffee
and tea, pasta products and wet produce

b) Plastics – are man made polymers of very high molecular


weight. Because of their excellent physical properties
(e.g. strength and toughness), flexibility light weight
and resistance to cracking, plastics have found wide
applications in the food industry. The basic polymer
material with the necessary additives can be
converted into various forms: films, trays, tubs,
pouches, sachets, blister packs and shrink wraps.

c) Paper and paperboard – are materials made from wood


pulp. The former is usually thinner than the latter,
possesses less rigidity and strength, and is more
flexible. Initially, paper was only used for dry foods
because it could not retain its strength under wet
conditions. Nowadays, has improved its manufacture
which made it resistant to moisture, gases and grease.

10
2. Rigid packaging materials – the world rigid connotes
hardness and inflexibility. This describes those packaging
materials which are pre-formed, generally cannot be folded
and has a definite volume for its content. They are classified.

a. Glass – made from limestone, sand, soda, and ash. These


components are melted together at a room
temperature of about 1527.8˚C (2800 ˚F) in a very
large surface. Glass is chemically insert that is does
not react with the food. Once sealed, it is impermeable
to moisture and gases. It may also be reclosed after
opening.
b. Metal – tinplate and aluminum belong to this group. Tin
cans are not as chemically insert as glass containers.
They can corrode with time and impart a “thinning
flavor and an off-color to food. Tin cans are lighter
than glass containers. They are not prone to thermal
shock. Upon sealing, it is imposible to gases and
moisture. Aluminum on the other hand, is widely used
as cans, as foil wrapper for dairy products (butter,
chesse) and chocolate, as a component of laminates
and as tubes. An aluminum can is lighter in weight
than a tin can. Aluminum is non toxic and is a good
barrier to light, gas, moisture and odors.

LET US REMEMBER

When packing food products, the type of packaging materials


and its characteristics must be considered. Different food products
need different type of packaging materials

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED?


On a separate sheet of paper, answer the following questions:

1. What are the types of packaging materials?


2. Identify the characteristics and uses of packaging materials.

LESSON 3

PACKAGING FOOD ACCORDING TO NEEDS

WHAT IS THE LESSON ABOUT?

The lesson deals with packaging food according to needs.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:

1. Pack food in compliance with hygiene, occupational


health and safety and local health regulations
requirements;

2. Observe environmental requirements for food packaging;

3. Adapt appropriate packaging procedures according to


enterprise specifications; and

4. Label the food according to Philippine regulations.

LET US STUDY

Some suggestions on how to store and transport food safely and


hygienically:

1. Use clean and sturdy wooden pallets, stack the cartons on


The pallets properly.

2. Improperly or disorganized stacking may cause uneven


distribution of weight that may damage stocks.
3. When transporting cartons, stack them tightly to avoid
unnecessary movement inside the truck during
transport. On joint shipment with other products like
canned goods, stack the cartons on top.

12
Designing a Package for Food

One has to consider three things about the food product when
designing a package.

1. Product properties – consider the factors of potential


“damageability” of the product to be packaged.

2. Method of distribution – one has to consider


 Hazards of loading and unloading
 Movement in vehicles
 Warehousing methods and the environmental
conditions like relative humidity and temperature
changes.

LET US REMEMBER

Food is packed in compliance with hygienic practices, food safety


regulations on storing and transporting food and the design required for
food packaging areas.

HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED?

On a separate sheet, explain clearly and briefly the following:


1. What are the hygiene and food safety practices for storing
and transporting food?
2. What is the best functional food packaging design?

5
Customers are the life and blood of food and beverage business.
To ensure continuous patronage, their satisfaction must be
sustained. They always deserve preferential, prompt and consistent
attention.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES OF GREETING THE


GUESTS

GREETING THE GUEST

WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND IN A FRIENDLY MANNER


( Good morning/ Good afternoon/ Good evening…Sir/ Ma’am )
( Welcome to ______________ ( name of restaurant/ bar/
Industry )

A. Welcoming a client
a. Be very polite, always smile
 “Good __________ sir/ ma’am, welcome to our place. I’m
____________ ( name ) at your service”
b. Never let a client wait all alone at the restaurant door, he

you to serve him better.

g. Always remember to show him the way to his table and never
forget to pull the chair out and help him sit down.

6
VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

 Body language – a term for communication using


body movement or gesture instead of, or in addition
to, sounds, verbal language or other
communication.
 Para language – describe all forms of human
communication that are not verbal language. This
includes the most subtle of movements that many
people are not aware of, including :
a. Winking and slight movement of the eyebrows.
b. Use of social expressions.

 Most basic and powerful body – language signal


 Crosses his/her arms across the chess.
 Consistent eye contact can indicate that a person is
thinking positively of what the speaker is saying.
 Disbelief is often indicated by averted gaze.
 By touching the ear or scratching the chin.
 Boredom is indicated by the head tilting to one side,
or by the eyes looking straight at the speaker but
becoming slightly unfocused.
 Interest can be indicated through posture or
extended eye contact.
 Deceit on the act of withholding – information can
sometimes being indicated by touching the face
during conversation
 A person might dust himself off.
 Brush himself in an act of “cleaning” himself.

HOW POTENTIAL IS NON-VERBAL BEHAVIOR

Some researches show the level of non-verbal communication as


high at 80 % of all communications, more reasonably it could be at
around 50 – 55 %.
Mehrabian discovered in his communication study that 7 % of
communication comes from spoken words, 38 % from the tone of the
voice, and 55 % comes from body language.

7
Body language in groups

In groups, there is typically a person speaking at a time but many


more can be showing their responses via body language. This may be
an important reason behind groups tending to be more emotional and
less rational than individual

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Consists of all messages other than words that are used in
communication

Oral Communication. These symbolic messages are transferred by


means of :
 Intonation
 Tone of voice
 Vocally produced noise
 Body posture
 Body gesture
 Facial expressions, a pause

Two levels of spoken message


1. Verbal
2. Non-Verbal

 Non-verbal means are innate and universal ( i.e. people


in different cultures have a common understanding of
these cues.
 Human beings use non-verbal means to persuade or to
control others to clarify or embellish things, to stress,
complement, regulate and repeat verbal expression.
 It can be used to substitute verbal expression with
several body gestures.

MODES OF FAREWELLING
 Waving of hands
 Smiling
 Kissing/Hugging

Sir/Ma’am, thank you for visiting our place. Please come again.

Note: The conditions of non-verbal communication to the total


meaning can be culturally determined and differ in different countries.

8

11
STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE URGENCY NEEDS OF
THE CUSTOMER

Effective menu and beverage merchandizing require product


knowledge, good customer relations and the ability to persuade a
guest in buying what you offer.
1. Manner of preparation/ basic ingredients
 ex: broiled, simmered, grilled etc.
 the basic ingredients, the customers get to imagine how the
food taste and looks, describe the items as a flavorful
combination of the food.
2. Special qualities of the dish
 Example “Pork adobo” is one of the most popular Filipino
dish, it is the famous Filipino delicacy, “I’m sure you’ll like
it.”

Note: When describing the quality of a dish/ beverage, study guest’s


preference as to taste, size, smell, color, texture, etc. and describe the
item in relation to them.

3. Preparation time
A guest maybe already hungry, that he wants his order to be
served immediately, but unknowingly ordered a dish that takes time
to prepare. He must be informed before hand that his order needs
time to prepare so he can change his order to an easily prepared one.
You can say “ Our chef will take about _________ minutes to prepare
your order Sir/ Ma’am. Do you mind waiting? If he/she decides to
wait, offer beverage. “ Shall I get you a better of ___________ while you
wait? Then mention, your order will be ready in 15 minutes from now,
shall I get you another cold bottle of ___________ ?

4. Standard Portioning
* Some guests are inclined to ask the exact portion for each
serving.
5. Standard Accompaniments
6. Right Pronunciation
*Menu items should be pronounced properly, you’ll serve
ridiculous to your customer. You should likewise be ready to answer
queries pertinent to the meaning or translation of some foreign terms
used.
7. Entries that best compliments the order
8. Out of stock items and their proper substitute

12
Some items offered in the menu not being available on certain
occasions, it is advisable for you to inform the guest outright if his
order is out of stock.
Do not simply say “out of stock sir”. This will likely close the
door to merchandizing. Offer appropriate substitute, the right
approach may be I am sorry sir/ ma’am, but we run short of (mention
the title of recipe) at the moment, but we have something for you to
choose.

GOOD WORKING ATTITUDE AND PLEASANT APPROACH

* Send Positive Attitude


 An attitude is a state of mind that influence feelings,
thoughts and action tendencies.
 The attitude you send is usually the attitude you get back.
 Most service employees fall because of attitude, If you don’t
get first customers, the game is over before it begins.
 The attitude you project to others depends primarily on the
way you look at your job.

A. YOUR APPEARANCE
 You never chance to create a positive first impression.
 First impressions are critical because there may be no

 Efforts to be exerted to sustain patronage and attraction of
clients.
 They can only be achieved once they have satisfied customer’s
need and expectations.
 Restaurants are not only selling food and beverages but most of
all is the service.
 Customers judge a food, tableware or decoration by the kind of
people who served them.
 A favorable impression may induce them to invite their friends
and relatives to patronize the industry.

18
If service is to be considered a product itself, what qualities should the
industry bear in mind to ensure guest satisfaction?

1. Quality Service
 Quality is measured in terms of our ability to conform to
acceptable standard expected by the customers.

2. Efficiency of Service Staff.


 When the needs/requirements of the customer have not
been adequately or promptly attended to, much that he
has to make a request each time he needs an item, your
service will be judged as very insufficient. An appetizing
dish served according to standard may still not satisfy a
customer if it is served quite late.

3. Warmth and courtesy of the service staff.


 A fast and efficient service performed according to
acceptable standards is likely to lose its meaning to a
customer who may have been served by an attendant with
a frowning in sarcasm.
 What is worst is when the customer has been shouted
upon by the service staff.

Note for the Industry: Always bear in mind, that customers are human
beings who treasure their feelings and sentiments.
 Impolite gesture and indicatives of lose of respect for a person by
these actions are likely to hurt their ego and sentiments.
 Unpleasant experience when not properly compensated nor
handled by supervisors will likely push the clients, to say
goodbye to the industry and never come back.

LET US REMEMBER

In an industry, employees should always remember that the customer


is the heart of their business. They need to value their client as
human being. They must treasure their feelings and sentiments,
Always show a positive attitude, gestures/actions to ensure the
satisfaction of their guest for surely they will come back.

LEARNING TO GET DIFFICULT CUSTOMERS ON YOUR SIDE

COMMON REASONS WHY CUSTOMERS MAYBE DIFFICULT TO DEAL


WITH

 They have never been in a similar situation before
 They don’t speak or understand the language very well
 They are in bad mood and take it not on you
 They are in a hurry or have waited on extended period of time
for service

FOUR STEPS IN GETTING CUSTOMERS TO YOUR SIDE

STEP 1 Don’t take it personally


This is one of the hardest customer service skills to learn
Remember they are not attacking you personally
(Even though it may seem that they are)

STEP 2 Remain calm. Listen carefully


This is easy to say but difficult to do
Take a deep breath and plan your words carefully
Paraphrase what they have said and make sure you have
heard them correctly

STEP 3 Focus on the problem, not the person


Be a problem solver, try to figure out what this person
needs in someway if you can. Let them know what you
can do

one

TAKING THAT ONE EXTRA STEP

or in bidding goodbye. For regular customers, recognize their
continuous patronage of the industry, know their preferences,
rooms, tables, drinks, etc.

you enjoyed your stay in our industry. Please don’t hesitate to come if
you need anything.”

HOW TO TREAT COMPLAINT FROM A CLIENT

When for some reason or another a client became

peacefully the problem and if the difficulty is too big for you, call your
supervisor at once.

HANDLING COMPLAINTS

LET US REMEMBER

Customers are the important assets of the industry, so employees must


be trained to remain calm and ready to solve several critical cases, to the
satisfaction of the customer. In the first part, you have to select the best
possible answer you could give the guest. By maintaining eye contact remain
relaxed, listen to the facts and emotion, emphasize and accept responsibility for
the guest. Solve the problem instead of blaming others, lying and creating
stories; Explore solutions to reach a decision agreeable to the guest and act on
the decision.
