Basic Syrups, Creams, and Sauces

Much of the baker’s craft consists of mixing and baking flour goods such as breads, cakes, and pastries. However, the baker also must be able to make a variety of other products, sometimes known as adjuncts, such as toppings, fillings, and sauces. These are not baked goods in themselves, but they are essential in the preparation of many baked goods and desserts.
