Operating a cake business from your home

In South Carolina, it is illegal to operate a food business from you home without a separate DHEC approved kitchen, DHEC rating, and business license. Many people question the cost of cakes made in a real bakery. They think it is only sugar, flour, butter, eggs and other minor ingredients that make up the cost. They forget about employees, workers comp., insurance on equipment and liability ins., commercial building rent, the equipment, business license, DHEC license, all of the extra equipment that is needed to be DHEC approved, taxes on your pay and the business and more things than I can name. If they don't have liability insurance, you could be sued if somone at your event gets sick.
Also we are doing this as a job. Don't you think we should get paid? Doing someone's wedding cake is also stressful. You are under a lot of pressure to do it right, deliver it on time and make people happy. I really love this work and am very upset that people think it is OK to purchase from someone who is breaking the law and even though they are charging you less, they are making more profit. These people make it very difficult for an honest business woman to make ends meet.
Everyone enjoys something that was made just for them and their unique personality. Any colors can be used by airbrushing or fondant coloring techniques. Any shape or size can be carved in cake or modeled in chocolate, gum paste or fondant. Fun, whimsical or sophisticated, it is up to you. We can create any style cake that you like. We do artistic unique custom cakes that are one of a kind masterpieces. Our attention to every detail can not be matched. See our website for photos and information on ordering. http://www.arteatsbakery.com/ As the outside of cakes have changed, so have the inside. Gone are the dry white sponge cakes of the past. Now people are choosing what they really love to eat. It could be chocolate fudge with caramel and butterfinger candy bars or butter rum with Kaluha butter cream. Each tier can be a different flavor with any filling you can dream of. At Art Eats Bakery we make all of our cakes and icings from scratch and we only use the very best fresh ingredients. Even our fondant is scratch made and tastes great. It can be made in lots of flavors. Our cakes are all butter cakes and our butter cream is also made with fresh butter.

Easy and quick Chicken Florentine

Easy and quick Chicken Florentine

Ingredients:


4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

All-purpose flour, for dredging

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter or half butter and olive oil

2 tablespoons shallots, sliced

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 1/2 cups dry white wine

1 cup whipping cream

1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cut-leaf spinach, thawed, drained or fresh baby spinch

Directions:

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly (I do this by shaking it in a large ziplock bag). Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep it warm.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
  Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

Brides have so many choices for the wedding cake that will be the show piece for their reception. It can be a sophisticated masterpiece or whimsical and fun. There is no such thing as a standard wedding cake anymore. The Food Network and other TV stations have had a lot of cake shows on lately and have brought cake artistry into the main stream. Custom wedding cakes create a personal element to your reception that can not be mached by decor or venue. Remember, it is the first thing your guest see at the reception and the last thing they taste. You will also have photos of you cutting the cake. It is very important that it both looks spectacular and tastes fantastic. Do your homework and check the bakery out and have a tasting including the fondant.

   The Groom's cake can be a sculpture of the Groom's car, themed on his hobbies or favorite sport. It is supposed to be something that is about him and fun. This can be served at the rehearsal dinner or the reception.

   As the outside of cakes have changed, so have the inside. Gone are the dry white sponge cakes of the past. Now people are choosing what they really love to eat. It could be red velvet with cream cheese icing or fudge marble with strawberry butter cream and chocolate ganache. Each tier can be a different flavor with any filling you can dream of. At Art Eats Bakery we make all of our cakes and icings from scratch and we only use the very best fresh ingredients. Only pure vanilla extract and other natural flavors are used in our bakery items. Even our fondant is scratch made and tastes great. It can be made in lots of flavors. Our cakes are all butter cakes and our butter cream is also made with fresh butter.

We are licenced by the CITY OF GREENVILLE and DHEC and our rating is an A. We also carry liability insurance for the safety of you and your guests. It is against the law to operate a food business without the above items and most people doing this from their home do not have them.

Chocolate pie with cookie crust recipe by Art Eats Bakery

Chocolate pie Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus 1 3/4 cups
3/4 cup buttermilk
3 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch salt
4 egg yolks
4 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Directions
1 (9-inch) Chocolate Cookie Crust, baked and cooled, recipe follows
In a small saucepan combine sugar, 3/4 cup heavy cream, buttermilk, cornstarch and pinch of salt, and whisk until smooth. Place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil, whisking from time to time for the sugar and cornstarch to dissolve and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking at a low boil for an additional 5 minutes, whisking constantly.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks lightly. Pour 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks and whisk thoroughly. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan and whisk over the heat until thoroughly combined and very thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl, and whisk in the chocolate, butter and vanilla. Continue whisking until thoroughly combined (mixture will be very thick). Cover the mixture with plastic wrap placed directly on the surface and refrigerate until cooled to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Place 1 3/4 cups heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl and add the confectioners' sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold about 1/4 of the whipped cream into the cool chocolate pudding mixture, then spoon the chocolate mixture into the prepared pie crust and refrigerate until firm and cool, at least 4 hours. Refrigerate the remaining whipped cream until you are ready to serve the pie.
When ready to serve, top the pie with the remaining sweetened whipped cream and serve immediately.
cookie crust
Graham crackers to yield 2 cups crumbs
Chocolate sandwich cookies (white centers removed) to yield 1 1/2 cups crumbs (recommended: Oreo)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In the bowl of a food processor or blender, process the graham crackers and chocolate cookies to make crumbs.
In a bowl mix together the cookie crumbs, sugar and butter with your hands. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie pan. (It will seem like an excessive amount of crumbs, but will compress down quite a bit with pressure.) Cover the crust with plastic wrap and top with another 9-inch pan, pressing quite firmly to make a smooth surface. Remove the pan and the plastic wrap from the pressed crust prior to placing it into the preheated oven. Bake the crust for 15 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven and let cool completely before filling.
Yield: 1 (9-inch) crust
