The festive season for many includes a lot of baking and eating baked goods. This usually means ingesting a lot of high calorie foods. If you want to forego the calories but still enjoy the yummy stuff there are a number of things you can use as substitutes in your baking recipes  for this Christmas and beyond.

1. For those cookie recipes that call for chocolate chips you can substitute these with dried fruits. You can use prunes, cranberries, cherries, figs or any other dried fruit that will complement the taste of your cake. These will still add some sweet to your cookie but less calories than chocolate chips would.
2. Replace white flour with wheat flour. You may need to only substitute a portion of the flour depending on the recipe as wheat flour may not bind well. Wheat flour gives more fiber and helps with digestive  regulation. You can also add some oats especially when baking cookies.
3. Replace oil and butter with applesauce.
4. Use only egg whites instead of whole eggs or use an egg  substitute.
5. Instead of using white sugar use a natural sweetener such as stevia or sucanat.

Those are just five ways to still enjoy the festivities of the holiday without packing on the pounds. That alone may not prevent you from putting on any weight but there are other measures that you can use in conjunction with healthier baking.

You can check out a flex belt coupon that can save you some money towards your purchase for a great item to help you to get rid of any flab you may gain over the holidays.

How do you make whipped cream for a cake?

I use an electrical mixer to turn the liquid into whipped cream, but it’s far too soft for designing. I have tasted whipped cream from other bakeries and for some reason their cream tends to be more solid than the one I use at home. Do you guys have an idea or have some sort of recipe for a whipped cream like that?

First of all do not compare home made whipped cream to the stuff they call whipped cream.
If you want to use whipped cream you need to stabilize it.
You can get a stabilizer at the market. Look in the aisle that has baking supplies. The brand I am familiar with is Oketer and it will come in a little packet. It will say it is a stabilizer.
Your other option is to use an unflavored gelatin, dissolve it as directed in cold water then add it to the whipped cream during the whipping process. This will stabilize the whipped cream and add no flavor.
Another way to make the whipped cream last longer is to whip it then place it in a lined strainer and set it in the refrigerator for several hours. The excess liquid will seep out leaving the rest of the whipped cream more dense.

With all this the whipped cream will not hold up long or hold intricate designs. A non dairy whipped topping is what bakeries use. It is more stable and is not as temperature sensitive as the real whipped cream.

For your designs I would stick to butter cream frosting. It lasts longer and is more stable than the whipped cream topping. If you want to try something different make a French or Italian butter cream frosting. Much better than what we call butter cream, it tastes better but is a challenge to make.
Save the whipped cream for strawberry shortcake, ice cream sundaes, pies and other desserts.

Where to Buy Restaurant Supplies

One of the most important challenges you face in the food service business is buying restaurant supplies. Your supplies can be bought from a restaurant supply warehouse or from an online dealer.

Buy Restaurant Supplies Online

Maintaining a restaurant and delivering good customer service means having all the necessary restaurant supplies. This would include a wide range of products like catering supplies, buffet supplies, dinnerware, food storage products, pizza supplies, containers, and more. Going out to local stores to shop for all these products is a time consuming process. Online stores simplify matters. You can place your orders from the comfort of your home or office, and have all the products delivered right at your doorstep. Shopping online for your restaurant supplies is also a great way to compare the prices, features and specifications of various products.

The quality of the products you buy is very important.  Established online stores have a large inventory of high quality products from leading manufacturers that help you offer your customers the right kind of ambience and a good dining experience.

Save Costs

Right from dinnerware to bakery supplies, restaurants need a wide variety of products. The advantage of sourcing your supplies from a good online store is that you can get whatever you need at one place. Moreover, they offer huge discounts for bulk purchases as well as convenient shipping options. In fact, some stores even offer free shipping for purchases over a certain amount.

How to Locate a Good Dealer

There are several retailers and distributors out there, and so locating the right one is always a challenge. It is advisable to look out for places where you can get best deals on a consistent basis. To locate such dealers, search directories and yellow pages on the web. Compare the products and services offered by different vendors. Make sure that the dealer has all the restaurant supplies you need so that you save time and money.
