"Mr. Reno, it's really an honor to ask you to come to our shop and help review our cakes. Ji Jiayan's teacher Renaud did not return to the United States immediately after the topaz auction, but took Woody and Ji Jiayan everywhere to taste the domestic pastries and make corresponding comments.

"I only taste one pastry. Renault said straight to the point, and Ji Jiayan translated on the side.

"In that case, let's go straight to our store's latest signature strawberry cake, which is made with the hottest strawberries on the market, with at least 10 strawberries in one cake alone. ”

Ji Jiayan was very surprised that so soon, a pastry shop began to make cakes with candy strawberries. In fact, he didn't know how popular Kunyang's candy strawberries were, and many merchants saw that the momentum of strawberries was so fierce, so they also launched candy strawberry cakes.

The dessert shop that can invite Renault to taste the pastry is itself a pastry shop that takes the high-end route, so they are naturally not stingy when using high-end fruits such as sweet-hearted strawberries, after all, there will always be people who are willing to pay for these high-end ingredients.

Soon a beautiful strawberry cake was delivered, and six strawberries were used for the decoration on it, and with the filling and filling, the amount of these 10 sweetened strawberries was only a little more.

As the strawberry cake was cut open, the strawberry filling inside began to flow out, Renault only tasted a small bite, and then stopped tasting it, and Ji Jiayan and Hu Di were also divided into a piece.

"You two have a try, too, and I'd like to hear your opinions. ”

After Ji Jiayan took a bite of the cake, his brows furrowed slightly, it is not strange that this strawberry filling is sweet, after all, he has also made jam with sweetened strawberries before, and it does taste very good, but he always feels that something is wrong, but he can't say something.

"Is this really a cake made of sweetened strawberries? Why am I eating Spotlight strawberries other than sweet, there is nothing special about Discoverer strawberries? During this time, following Ji Jiayan, Woody also ate a lot of new candy strawberries, and in his memory, the sweetness of these strawberries was unforgettable, but the strawberries used in the cake in front of him did not look like sugar strawberries at all.

After listening to Woody's words, Ji Jiayan tried the strawberries on the cake again, and found that this was indeed a candy strawberry, but why was this sugar strawberry no different from an ordinary strawberry after it was made.

"Can I borrow your baking room?" When Renault made such a request, the store hurriedly arranged.

"Master Renault, are you going to make pastries with your own hands? I wonder if you can let a few of our pastry chefs watch?"

"It's not me who does it, it's our student, De Leon. ”

When he heard the teacher call his name, Ji Jiayan was very surprised.

When the shopkeeper heard that it was not Renault's big deal, he personally took action, but since he was his apprentice, the level must be good, so he still asked his pastry master to follow behind and learn.

"De Leon, I need you to make a standard chiffon cake, and the sugar is reduced to a quarter of the standard. ”

So Ji Jiayan followed the teacher's instructions and quickly made the cake.

"Do you have any leftover strawberry jam in the store?"

"Yes, it's in the freezer next to it, I'll get it. Soon the strawberry jam that had been made earlier was taken out.

After the cake had cooled, Renault continued to command: "Whip the whipping cream, this time you only need to add about 5 grams of granulated sugar." ”

After that, the cake base is made with strawberry jam and chiffon cake, and then the dough is smeared.

Soon Ji Jiayan made this sugar-reduced version of the cake.

"Now spread the strawberries and let's try it again. ”

After saying that, Renault made a gesture of please, and asked everyone in the baking class to try and start tasting the new cake.

The taste of the cake is very bland when you take the first bite, compared to the usual sweet cake, this cake has a rich flavor, but it is not very sweet, which makes people who are used to sweet taste feel very uncomfortable.

However, with the second bite, the rich sweetness of strawberries from the owner of the cake body mixed with strawberry jam complements the dull taste and highlights the rich strawberry aroma.

The comparison between the front and back had a strong impact on the taste, which actually made people want to eat a third bite, so the small tasting cake was quickly swept away.

"De Leon, please comment on this cake. ”

"Although the amount of sugar used in the cake base and cream has been reduced a lot, it is precisely because of this that the selling point of the sweetened strawberries can be better highlighted. ”

"Neither sweetened strawberries nor ordinary strawberries have the sweetness of sugar, so the strawberries that are placed on the cake are often not as delicious as when eaten alone. ”

Renault said halfway, suddenly looked at Ji Jiayan, and continued after seeing his thoughtful look: "Since this candy strawberry is the selling point of this cake, how to highlight the difference of this strawberry is the key, and reducing the sugar content in the cake embryo and cream can play a strong taste difference with strawberry jam and decorative strawberries. ”

"The strawberry cake launched by this store before, except for the sweet and greasy taste, has no other flavor, completely suppresses the characteristics of strawberries, so that it is reduced to a supporting role, which is a very common practice, since you invited me to taste, then my opinion on strawberry cake is to reduce the proportion of sugar and strengthen the characteristics of sugar strawberries as just now. ”

After speaking, Renault looked at Ji Jiayan, in fact, it is fake to try the cake today, and it is true to use this cake to mention Ji Jiayan, the cake made by this child is the same as the store, it is too stereotypical, and there is no pertinence and his own opinion on the ingredients, everyone should have their own thinking about the cake, not step by step, this is what he wants to say to Ji Jiayan today.

"As a master, I was right to the point, and I said why our cake costs a huge amount of money, but not many people buy it, it turns out that it is because of this!"

The reason why he took the trouble to ask Renault to review his store was because he also found that there was a problem with his own products, at least the customer feedback was not so positive, but he didn't expect the problem to be here.

Ji Jiayan listened to his teacher's words, and suddenly thought of the bottle of orange peel candy that Lao Jin gave him last time, and it seemed that he still had many problems to improve.
