Short, practical tips from the team at Celestariqovessa Bakery on getting the best from freshly baked goods at home in London.
Store a fresh loaf at room temperature in a paper bag or a clean cloth rather than a plastic bag, which traps moisture and softens the crust. A bread box works well for keeping a good crust while slowing the drying process.
Laminated butter pastry, used in croissants and Danish, relies on layers of fat folded into dough to create a flaky, airy texture when baked. Shortcrust uses a much higher ratio of fat rubbed directly into flour, producing a denser, crumblier result suited to tarts and pies.
When ordering a celebration cake, giving at least five to seven days notice allows the bakery team to source any specific ingredients and schedule the decoration time properly. Having a rough idea of the number of portions needed and any dietary requirements helps the conversation go smoothly from the start.
