“A party without cake is just a meeting.” America's beloved chef, Julia Child, couldn't have been more right. Nowadays, cakes are a blaze of colors and flavors and it's amazing to think that it only takes a few basic ingredients and steps to make them. Mix fat, flour, eggs, sugar, water and salt to make the batter. After baking and cooling it, let your imagination run wild when it comes to toppings, fillings, and decorations.

Making ice cream is all about mixing and homogenizing. First you need to blend, pasteurize and standardize your mixture. Then store it in tanks and freeze and aerate the mix until it reached the right consistency. Now you can add fruits, cookies and other solids if you like. In the final step the mix goes through an air blast hardening machine and it's ready to store and ship.

Biscuits are confectionery products that contain mostly flour, which you mix and bake with other ingredients as sweet or savory snacks. Biscuit production involves four primary processes: mixing, forming, baking, and cooling. For you to perform these processes, you need basic biscuit processing equipment, including mixers, molders/cutters, and ovens.

Customers are used to seeing pretty cupcakes with topping and fruits on top. A cupcake without anything is simply boring and will stay on the store shelf till the expiration date. At the same time, big topping can make hands dirty, and that is very inconvenient. So, the question is - how to put filling on top so precisely that there is not a single drop that can end up on hands?
<h2>Industrially produced vs Hand-made cupcakes</h2>
There are generally two types of cupcakes in the world: hand made and industrially made cupcakes. You can find handmade ones in home bakeries, coffee shops, and restaurants. As they are made by a cook one by one, customers do not expect them to be perfect and identical. Every difference only proves that the product was actually made by hand. But industrially made bakery products that are sold in the store face totally different customers’ expectations. Every drop of chocolate in the wrong place will be a sign of a low quality. This is where <a href="https://making.com/products/chocolate">professional chocolate making equipment</a>, and other similar machinery can help those on an industrial or commercial scale.
<h2>Technology for perfect filling.</h2>
<a href="https://www.foodjet.com/cup-cake-chocolate-surface-filling">Surface printing technology</a> can help to prevent this kind of problems. The industrial vision system in combination with droplet-patterns for depositor's heads ensures depositing a perfect circle on the cupcake surface will make customers happy. One of the main advantages of this printing technology is software flexibility that allows not only to create perfect cupcakes but also to fill cookies, waffles, or even pizzas.

Food

Bakery production includes foods usually made from flour such as bread, biscuits, and cakes. Depending on the baked good you want to make, flour can be mixed with water or other ingredients producing a paste called dough or batter. The dough is then baked in the oven using dry heat. During baking, heat is transferred from the air to the dough, first on the surface and then in the center. Moisture and liquids escape through evaporation.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy chocolate; that’s basically the same thing. We were not surprised to discover that chocolate - to be specific, cocoa beans – was so valuable that it was used as a currency in Mayan times. When making chocolate, cocoa beans need to be dried, fermented, and roasted before using chocolate making equipment to turn them into your favorite chocolate product.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.

To produce multiple sponge cake varieties and keep up with the changing industry trends, a production line requires versatility. The line must be ready to produce new products without having to go through a time-consuming format changeover. A unit that can switch formats in minutes is ideal to save time and speed up your production.
<h2>Switch between cakes through different cutting and roller configurations</h2>
The TT Italy Sponge Cake Production Line uses a turbo mixer to prepare the batter and cream materials. A roller depositor then dispenses a layer of batter on the oven belt. The line can prepare decorations before everything moves into the baking area.
After moving through the baking and cooling sections, the cakes will reach a workbench section where a longitudinal cutter and syrup dosing unit work. A filling dispenser is also suitable for filled goods.
A transversal cutter will create the proper cuts measured for your use. An ultrasonic cutter can also work with items with heavy cream content, preventing the squeezing of filling while cutting, ensuring end product uniformity and desired looks.

Exposed baked goods can develop bacteria from the circulating air in an area if left in the open for long. Goods that do not spend enough time cooling off may also warp and leak their contents if handled too soon. A suitable approach to handling the cooling process and moving the items forward is necessary for a successful preparation process.

<h2>Prevent bacteria, humidity, and external threats using active UV treatment</h2>
The TT Italy Sponge Cake Cooling Tunnel is an alternative to a traditional cooling conveyor. The tunnel has a small indoor space for cooling the product. The indoor environment ensures the right conditions for cooling the cakes, plus it keeps the humidity level in check.
Besides the above, the indoor environment also prevents outside bacteria from entering the cakes. The active UV treatment inside the tunnel cleans the air and provides an accurate space for cooking purposes. The design is different from cooling spirals, as it supports the proper alignment of all items. The design ensures the products stay in their proper location, allowing for an easier and safer approach to adding a filling or other topping.

If your sponge cake didn't turn out as fluffy as you wanted, don't worry...the first guy who invented it, didn't do a good job either. His cake was much more like a cracker. But in his defense, it was 1615. These days everyone knows that to make a fluffy cake, batter temperature matters. But how can you control it when you have to produce hundreds of uniform, soft sponge cakes a day?

<h2>What does batter temperature have to do with gluten development?</h2>
Let me answer you: everything. When <a href="https://making.com/batter">making batter</a> for your sponge cake, the room temperature must be kept constant and must not exceed 24 °C. If it’s a scorching day or the ovens inside your plant are on, the temperature can easily rise up to 30°C. As a result, batter and fat become more watery and when water appears, wait for it, gluten develops. Flour contains two proteins, glutenin and gliadin, which bond together when water is added. This forms an elastic network of proteins called gluten that makes the batter sticky. If there is too much of it, your fluffy sponge cake will become chewy and get a bread-like texture. It is also hard to deposit the sponge cake layers evenly, between 4-5 mm each, if the batter is too viscous.
<h2>A closed mixing system to control your batter temperature</h2>
After premixing, sponge cake batter is often prepared in open planetary mixers. Change-overs and combining different mixers together make it difficult to control temperature and achieve batter uniformity. As Natalija Pepeljugoska, Food Technologist at TT Italy, explains, in this case a closed mixing solution that avoids exposing the batter to the outside temperature can be recommended. Industrial-scale cake manufacturers use their Turbo Mixer starting from a capacity of 400kg of batter per hour. It has an integrated cooling system to make sure the temperature stays between 18-24 °C for perfect batter quality. By injecting controlled air or nitrogen instead of oxygen into the closed vessel, the risk of anaerobic micro growth is reduced.
