How can you easily decorate home made cakes?
Cakes are always an inevitable part of celebration. Not only birthdays make cakes so special but also anniversaries, weddings, festivals, and in many other events cakes become an integral part in spreading joy and happiness. Thus the love for the cakes are never ending. As this demand kept on increasing, the cake bakers and suppliers switched to more creative and innovative baking methods to attract the buyers. Also this has led to the birth of many home bakers to come up with their product to the mainstream. As the parameters and accessories required for the baking became more accessible to the public, people started to give a try on their baking skills and eventually this has made many small baking entrepreneurs in the society.

Gluten Free
Introduction Good morning everyone and hope you are all well. So for the past year now both my daughter and myself have been Gluten Free, this is not by choice, my daughter and I both have medical conditions that mean we can not consume foods with Gluten in it (you may have read my blog while I was on holiday on the Isle of Skye the difficulty of finding good Gluten Free places to it). So I thought it might be wise to write a blog entry on the journey we have had and what advice I might be able to give for new people who are now Gluten Free.

How To Fill The Perfect Box Of French Fries
So, you want to be a French Fry master! This technique should work well at any restaurant that uses a standard fry scoop to serve fries into boxes: McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Bojangles, and even Arby's. Well, there is definitely an art to it. You want to give the customers what they want, but at the same time you do not want to lose a whole bunch or money on food cost by giving out too much in the box. Oh, what to do, what to do? The solution is simple. You can do both! I will teach you a technique allows the fry box or bag to be full enough for the customer, but not overstuffed like my kid's teddy bear. I have had many customers over the years complement me on my fry handling skills. A couple of returning customers always referred to me as the "Fry Station Ninja". A manager takes what he can get I suppose ...

We Are Bad Customers: Fast Food Restaurant Drive-Thru Etiquette (Part 2)
In my last article, I began by discussing some of the issues we have as consumers of fast food, how our culture has evolved from a one-size-fits-all mentality to a style of serving in which each and every customer is served precisely to their personal tastes and needs. McDonald's used to call this "Made-for-you." Burger King reigned on high with their slogan, "Have it your way." While I know this does reflect the great progression of how our society has grown, I feel that certain aspects of the fast-food business have been neglected. As customers, we sometimes feel that we are owed something when we are making our purchases. With rising pricing of meats and henceforth driving up prices of our sandwiches and entrees. These price increases are also impacted by cost of oil prices as well. Increases in the price per barrel affect gasoline costs which drive up delivery costs for food truck deliveries to each store. To stave off those costs and to help maintain the standard 33% profit that most stores strive for, those costs unfortunately have to be passed along to the consumer. Restaurants have tried to battle the anger of rising prices by attempting to add value to the customer by providing wonderful decor, upgraded merchandising, buildings and scenery that are pleasant to look at, and better quality food. Most importantly, excellent service is a value that is tied into the price of each person's meal. The more value a restaurant and provide to go along with the food that is purchased, the more a customer will feel that they got their money's worth.

We Are Bad Customers: Fast Food Restaurants Drive-Thru Etiquette (Part 1)
Customers Versus Employees Indeed, there are only two types of people: people who roll through the drive-thru. And those behind the scenes who work it. This excellent idea saved us from having to slave over home cooked meals for our families and us. Since its inception, a slow rising war between these two factions has been brewing for decades. Customer complaint lines and direct access to companies via the internet have done little but help fuel this amnesty. The ever-increasing pressure for faster and perfect performance on the side of the servers has put this situation right on top of a powder keg. Also, the managers trying to run the show find themselves caught in the middle of it. This supposed to be the future? As a society, shouldn’t we have moved past these issues? Altercations and complications still plague drive-thrus all over the world. Many of the customers that go through the line have never worked fast food, so they have no clue how their unpreparedness affects the stress levels and overall productivity of the people trying to feed them.

How To Make All Restaurants Safer for Employees
Asking the Right Questions I have worked in many different restaurants. One day, I had become tired and annoyed about how the business I was in charge of was being run. I came to terms with this simple truth. I did the same thing day in and day out. I had mastered all the different stations, completing tasks at speeds that can only be considered superhuman, wearing my body down. I started doing things like flipping cups around and catching them to entertain myself. I created a better way to stuff French-fry boxes and learned to handle fry baskets one-handed. Even these gave way to boredom and my mind once again started to wander. My mind was always struggling to find the next new thing. I began to look around my job, and my brain commenced to ask questions, “How do I stop stray lids from falling back behind the drink station? How do I keep napkins, straws, and stray cups from being kicked under the counter?"
