Welcome to Baking Perfect!

This podcast is for the home bakers, the aspiring bakery owners, the endlessly curious and anyone who's ever wondered whether they could turn their love of baking into something more.

Hosted by Ruby, owner of Brown Butter Bakes, a home bakery based in Yorkshire, England.

I'm a BIG believer in lifelong learning, asking questions and getting a teensy bit better at what we do every day. And whilst I certainly don't have all the answers, I'm very happy to share what I'm learning along the way.

We'll be getting wonderfully nerdy about baking science, and food history, exploring how to start and run a home bakery, talking honestly about the financial ups and downs of small business ownership, and figuring out how on earth to juggle it all alongside a full time job (and very occasionally even a social life!).

I'll also be chatting with other home bakers, bakery owners, cake shed entrepreneurs and industry specialists about their stories, successes, mistakes and everything they wish they'd known when they started.

Because I don't believe there's such a thing as the perfect baker, the perfect recipe or the perfect business. But I do think there's an awful lot of joy to be found in trying to get better.

Welcome to Baking Perfect. I'm so glad you're here.

Love, Rubes x

Baking Science Explained | Baking Powder vs Baking Soda

Ever wondered why some recipes call for baking powder, others use bicarbonate of soda, and some use both?

They’re both raising agents, but they’re not doing quite the same job. And the difference goes well beyond how much your cakes and cookies rise.

In this episode of Baking Perfect, we’re getting wonderfully nerdy about the science of chemical leavening. We’ll talk about acids, alkalinity, carbon dioxide, the Maillard reaction and why the wrong raising agent can change everything from the colour of your bake to its flavour and texture.

We’ll also look at when to use baking powder, when to reach for bicarb, why some recipes need both and what happens when you leave them out altogether.

A little bit of chemistry, a lot of cake, and hopefully a few more things that make sense the next time you open a recipe.

❤️ A little about Baking Perfect

Baking Perfect is a Brown Butter Bakes podcast hosted by Ruby, a home baker and bakery owner based in Yorkshire, England.

From baking science and recipe development to the darker corners of culinary history, starting and running a home bakery, and all the wonderfully messy bits in between, Baking Perfect explores food from every angle, one curious story at a time.

Because I don’t believe there’s such a thing as the perfect baker, the perfect recipe or the perfect business. But I do think there’s an awful lot of joy to be found in trying to get better.
