Equipment

When it comes to cake baking, aside from specialty pans, very little equipment is needed. Special equipment and serving plates, however, make the pleasure of baking that much more enjoyable. My great uncle Nathan George Horwitt, designer of the Movado Museum watch dial, was an industrial designer. It was from him that I learned to appreciate the Bauhaus principle of form following function. There is little that excites me more than a tool that makes a job easier and the results nearer to perfect. For me, a well-designed tool is a work of art and deserves to be on permanent display. I have continued the family tradition by designing some special equipment under the name Rose Levy Bakeware. It is available from LaPrima Shops (see Equipment Sources).
