Unit Summary
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to produce
cakes, pastries and breads in a commercial kitchen following standard recipes. It requires
the ability to select, prepare and portion ingredients; and to use relevant equipment a range
of cookery methods to make and decorate cakes, pastries and breads, and food storage
methods.
It does not cover the specialist skills used by patissiers to produce specialist patisserie
products. These are covered in the range of patisserie units coded ‘PAT’.
The unit applies to hospitality and catering organisations that produce and serve cakes,
pastries and breads, including hotels, restaurants and patisseries.
It applies to individuals who work under the guidance of more senior chefs. They
demonstrate autonomy and judgement to complete routine activities and take limited
responsibility in known and stable contexts within established parameters.
Prerequisite Units
SITXFSA001 Use hygienic practices for food safety
You are to provide feedback* to the student on their performance and/or the outcome from their
assessment (whether satisfactory or not yet satisfactory)
If a student has been assessed as "Not Yet Satisfactory" on their performance in an assessment they
should be offered information about the appeal process and/or a reassessment opportunity.
Re-assessments:
o Re-assessments are to be undertaken on a different date. This is to allow an opportunity for the
student to undergo further training as required, and to ensure the student is assessed on their
ability to demonstrate their actual skills and knowledge - not just their ability to answer questions /
perform actions based on immediate advice of the assessor.
o When undertaking observation-based re-assessments, students must perform the full task that
relates to the observation. This means if a student undertakes an observation and is marked not
satisfactory on one or more points within the observation, they must perform the task again in full.
o If a student has been marked as satisfactory on any full observation task, they are not required to
be re-assessed on that task again.
o Written assessments (if applicable). Students are only required to be re-assessed on the
questions relating to the topic they answered incorrectly in the initial assessment. For example, if
the student answered Q1, 2, 3 correctly, but answered Q4+5 incorrectly; then they must be re-
assessed on Q4+5 on a later date.
Using the evidence gathered and the rules of evidence (validity, reliability, sufficiency, currency and
authenticity) determine the final outcome for the student. If you are in doubt, gather further evidence to
help guide your decision.
Assess the students on what you observe during the assessment period, not on their actions before or
after the assessment.
If you are marking the student NYC, ensure you outline why you have made this decision, and provide
advice on how the student can improve their skills / knowledge prior to reassessment; or if the re-
assessment opportunities have lapsed, provide advice on appeals and or re-enrolment.
Record the assessment results onto the Assessment Summary / Cover Sheet, ensuring each section is
complete.
Attach all evidence (projects / checklists / tests, etc) to this form.
Submit the completed Assessment Summary/ Cover sheet and associated evidence for processing as
per your RTO procedures.
Providing feedback
Provide constructive feedback to the student on their performance during the assessment period. Do not
make any comments on actions undertaken prior or after the assessment period.
Provide the student with:
o Their assessment results.
o Clear and constructive feedback based on the assessment decision.
o The reasons underpinning your assessment decision.
o Information on ways of overcoming any identified gaps in competency revealed by the
assessment the opportunity to discuss the assessment process and outcome information on
reassessment and the appeals processes.
o An opportunity for reassessment if appropriate or requested by the candidate.
o Information on appeal process as applicable to your organisation
Written assessment
1. Set a date for this written assessment.
2. Advise students of the topic and how the assessment will be conducted / marked.
3. Advise students where this assessment will be undertaken (classroom environment)
4. Set up room with a gap between each student (staggered formation recommended)
5. Set ground rules including no phones, talking, books, etc.
6. Allow time for reading and questions before commencing assessment.
7. Once assessment has commenced, no communication between students is allowed.
8. If students repeatedly talk, or are caught cheating, they are to be removed from the classroom, and reported to
student administration. Mark the assessment tasks as “incomplete”
9. Allow 2.5 hours for this assessment.
10. Remember – assessments are a participatory process, so you can help re-word questions, but be careful NOT
TO LEAD. We are assessing the students, not you!
11. Once completed, mark the assessment accordingly. Refer to the sample answers as direction on expected
student responses.
12. In the event that a question is not answered correctly, discuss the response with the candidate to determine if
the student did not know the answer, or did not understand the question.
13. In order to achieve competency, all questions that are mapped in the associated mapping document MUST be
answered correctly.

7 Describe the following methods, including what they are and what they achieve
It is important to weigh and measures ingredients properly to ensure it doesn’t alter the way the
recipe intended to do.
Stair the flour in a measuring container fillet till overflowing level the flour with the
spatula
Spoon the sugar into a dry measuring cup level the sugar with the spatula.
Packed the sugar or firmly into the measuring cup level it up with the spatula
Pour the ingredient into the measuring cup place it on the level surface read the
measure and the pour it into the utensils.
Packed the soft fat into a dry measuring to ensure there is no air level it with the laddle.
Punching down is a terminology when the dough rises second time this brakes yeast cells so that
they can get contact with air and food.
15 What effect do different proofing methods have on the dough? List some proofing methods.
Different proofing methods have on the dough is to increase co2 development for the better
development in gas and increase co2 retention.
The effect does dough handling have is to stop temporarily the stretching of gluten.
Flour quality
Kneading time
The stiffness of the dough
Fats and oil restrict preventing the loaf from gaining volume.
23 You notice a dough's poor lift / rising during baking. Give 3 possible causes for this.
Resting the pastries will allow the gluten to relax and preventing the pastries to shrink.
Lightly flour the work bench form dough into a bowl flour the rolling pain work from centre to
out. Turn the dough after each roll
This is the process of allowing air into the butter to make it lighter and in more volume.
Whisked
29 List 3 attachments for vertical mixers, and what each is used for.
Some pastry recipes require an initial hotter temperature in the oven (e.g. 220 degrees
30
Celsius) before reducing the temperature. Why is this?
This helps the pastry to set before reducing the temperatures to 180 degres
31 What is the best temperature for baking puff dough products? Explain your answer
200 to 220 degree Celsius the cooler the baking temp will not create steam and pastry wont
rise
Should cakes containing high sugar be cooked at lower or high temperature than a pastry with
32
low sugar content? Explain your answer
The higher the sugar content and the colour of the final product will come more deeper so the
lower temperature should be used when cooking pastries.
What temperature should pie dough be kept at during mixing and makeup? Explain why this is
33
important
Pie dough temp needs to be kept cool when mixing and then 180 degree Celsius we need to
cook it
What information should be included on any food labelling / coding within a commercial
34
kitchen?
36 What would you look for when assessing the quality of a Choux pastry product?
A good choux pastry products should be light and crisp and airy.
How long will cakes typically last if stored at room temperature? How can you maximise this
37
time?
Normally two to four days. We can maximise this time by wrapping it and storing it in a air
tight containers
38 Should you store yeast products in the fridge or on the counter? Please explain your answer.
Yeast products are best stored on the counter because the fridge dry out the product
Always turn off the machine, unplugged the mixture before cleaning never wear loose clothing
or jewellery that may get caught in the mixture
Never put the fingers in the mixing bowl
Good personal hygiene is one of the best ways to protect you from getting gastro or
infectious diseases such as COVID-19, colds and flu. Washing your hands with soap
removes germs that can make you ill. Maintaining good personal hygiene will also help
prevent you from spreading diseases to other people.
The Food Act sets out provisions regarding the monitoring and enforcement of food
sold in South Australia. This includes regulation of the advertising and labelling of
food and specific auditing and reporting requirements for some food businesses. The
Act requires annual reporting regarding food regulation activities.
43 How does the Food Safety Act affect you in food processing?
44 Describe the optimum conditions that yeast should be stored to optimise its shelf life
Yeast should be stored in a cool or dry place after opening the pack store it in a air tight container
Describe the optimum conditions that yeast products should be stored to optimise their shelf
45
life
Yeast product should be stored in ceramic containers it helps in bread to stay moist
46 How should flour be stored? What is the typical shelf life of all-purpose flour?
The earliest known records of yeast risen bread come from Ancient Egypt in 1300–1500
BCE (Samuel, 1996; Sicard and Legras, 2011) and China in 500–300 BC (Shevchenko et
al., 2014). However, it is likely that organized reliance on organisms for fermentation is far
older. Yeast is a single-celled microorganism that is a member of the Fungi kingdom. Yeast
is found in nature and within our bodies; it consumes sugar and produces by-products such
as carbon dioxide, alcohol, and other chemical compounds. Yeast is an essential ingredient
in baking, brewing, and winemaking.
Provide a basic summary of how yeast based products became a staple of today's western
48
diet.
Pastries were first created by the ancient Egyptians. The classical period of ancient
Greece and Rome had pastries made with almonds, flour, honey and seeds. The
introduction of sugar into European cookery resulted in a large variety of new pastry
recipes in France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.
Meanwhile in mid-17th century Europe, cakes were frequently baked as a result of advances in
technology and access to ingredients. Europe is credited with the invention of modern cakes, which
were round and topped with icing. Incidentally, the first icing was usually a boiled mixture of sugar,
egg whites, and some flavorings. During this time, many cakes still contained dried fruits, like
currants and citrons.
The earliest recorded mention of sponge cakes was from a Renaissance age Italian
baked product. Italian cooks baked “biscuits,” which spread through Italy, England and
France. However, it was not until 1615 when the first sponge cake recipe was recorded
by the English poet and author Gervase Markham.
What temperature should pie dough be kept at during mixing and makeup? Explain why this is
52
important
The pie dough needs to be kept cool at around 15 degree Celsius. Gluten develops slowly at
the cool temperatures
What is the standard bread dough temperature when mixing product? What happens if this is
53
increased?
Standard bread dough temperature should be between 20 to 30 degree Celsius if higher the
temperature it will harden the gluten and the product wont come as required
Yeast is a single-cell organism, called Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which needs food,
warmth, and moisture to thrive. Yeast is a kind of fungus which is used to make
bread rise, and in making alcoholic drinks such as beer. When it eats its two favourite
foods – sugar and starch – they are transformed through fermentation into carbon
dioxide and alcohol.
