A sweet pastry dough, also known as pate sucree, is a rich and sweet pastry with a crisp cookie-like texture. I use this recipe daily in the bakery as it is ideal for making both large and small sized tarts, especially those filled with nuts and/or cream. Additionally, it works beautifully for decorative crust work as it maintains its shape well while baking. I hope this sweet pie dough recipe will become your ‘go-to’ recipe as it is mine.

It is thought angel food cake derives it name due to the fact that it is such a light dessert, that the angels could eat it and still fly without being weighed down.

This angel food cake recipe produces a beautifully aerated texture, which comes from the whipped egg whites, and a chewy brown exterior, which results from the high sugar to flour ratio in the recipe.
Every baker should have a classic vanilla cake in their recipe box. This vanilla cake is pillow-soft, wonderfully moist and delicious. It is also quite versatile. I refer to this recipe as “The Perfect Vanilla Cake” as the recipe produces lovely cupcakes, may be used as the base recipe for other flavors such as lemon or lime, and is sturdy enough to hold up to carving for sculpted cakes.
