Stage 1: Order Discussion
• If planned in advance, there’s ample time to choose and deliberate.• For orders within 2-3 days, everything needs to be expedited because the work should have ideally started yesterday.
Stage 2: Biscuit Preparation
• It takes 1.5-2 hours to weigh and prepare ingredients, containers, molds, and to make the dough plus baking time.
Stage 3: Biscuit Cooling• Room temperature cooling takes 1-2 hours, depending on size/type.• Then, the biscuit is wrapped in film and refrigerated for at least 6 hours.Stage 4: Filling
• Ingredients need to be weighed, the filling prepared, and at least cooled, with some requiring stabilization for 2 to 12 hours, depending on the type.
Stage 5: Cake Assembly
• Prepare and cool the soak, prepare the cream (also by weight).• Some fillings include two types of cream or ganache which may need to stabilize for a minimum of 30 minutes up to 8 hours. Cut the biscuit, process the base…Stage 6: Cake Assembly
• Probably the fastest process. However, our cake then goes into the fridge for stabilization for at least 6 hours.Stage 7: Cake Covering• Prepare the cream or ganache, apply the base coat -> refrigerate for 30-60 minutes, apply the final coating and leveling -> refrigerate for at least 2 hours. (total time ~4 hours)Stage 8: Decor, Velvet• Prepare velvet, mix the required color; even the covering takes time if a colored cream is needed to mix the right colors. Additional decor takes from 20 minutes to 4-5-6 etc. hours. Some elements need to be made in advance, which also takes time.
Stage 9: Berries, Flowers, Edible Printing• Berries and flowers need to be purchased, which rarely happens in the first shop you visit.• Wash, dry, process, and fix on the cake. For printing, you need to find an image, or if a specific one is not available, agree on another, prepare the layout, go/print in a pastry shop, and come back. In the best case, this takes 1.5-2 hours.
To save time, I make preparations to expedite the process. Often, if I have a spare cake, I can offer it to my customers.

🍰 **Important for all sweet lovers! 🧁 Guidelines for Storing Our Confectionery** 🍩

Dear friends, we care about ensuring our sweets bring you joy not just with their taste, but also with their freshness. Here are some tips on how to keep our products in perfect condition for longer:

1. **Storage Temperature**: Most of our confectionery is best kept at temperatures between +3°C to +8°C (37°F to 46°F). Exceptions are marzipan and chocolate, which should be kept at room temperature.

2. **Avoid Moisture**: Store sweets in a dry place to prevent softening and texture loss.

3. **Airtight Packaging**: If you're not planning to consume the confectionery immediately, it's best to store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

4. **Shelf Life**: Pay attention to the dates on the packaging. Some products, like pastries and cakes, are best consumed within a few days of purchase.

5. **Do Not Freeze**: Generally, our confectionery is not designed for freezing as it can affect their taste and texture. However, an exception to this rule is our mousse cakes, which can be frozen without any toppers on top.

🌟 We hope these tips help you enjoy our sweets to the fullest! If you have any questions, feel free to comment or send us a private message.

For baking sponge cakes 🍰, the best flour to use is high-grade (extra) flour, known for its white color and airy structure. This flour contains a low amount of gluten and proteins, making it perfect for sponge cakes, rolls, rich buns, and confectionery items 🍪.

In California, popular flour brands suitable for sponge cakes include *King Arthur Flour*, *Swans Down*, and *Softasilk*. *King Arthur* offers unbleached and unenriched cake flour, ideal for light and fluffy sponges 🧁. *Bobs Red Mill* offers unbleached white pastry flour, and *Softasilk* provides enriched and bleached cake flour.

Artisan flours 👩‍🌾, more sustainable and nutritious, are also available in California. These flours are often whole grain, providing a high percent of bran and germ for added nutrition and flavor 🌾.

For gluten-free options 🚫🌾, brands like *Authentic Foods* with *Steve's Gluten Free Cake Flour Blend* and *Organic All-Purpose Flour* are excellent choices.
