How to extend the shelf life of your baked goods & ingredients

Want your ingredients and bakes to have a longer shelf life? I totally get it... It sucks when cream goes sour or cream cheese goes off! And sometimes we just can't bake everything on the day a customer is collecting, but we also don't want to bake too far in advance and then our bakes don't taste fresh!
So, today we're going deep into it and talking about practical tips to store your ingredients and baked goods to extend their shelf life to help you save time and money 😊

Thank you so much, you are the best, I almost got in the trap of buying flour in bulk.
I guess eggs also fall in the buy when you need list?
Blessings

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

You're welcome! I'm so grateful to hear you ended up not buying flour in bulk! Yes, eggs you should also only buy as you need them :)

[@leslieschnakenberg1167]

If you buy flour in bulk, just either repackage it into smaller containers or wrap the bag in plastic (plastic wrap or just the grocery bag - you are just protecting the bag from tears) and freeze for up to 2 years. When you are ready to use it, let it come back to room temperature and then just re-sift it. Directions are from Gold Medal brand flour. Where I live flour can get expensive, so when it does go on sale, I do buy it in bulk. Been doing this probably 10+ years. But then I also have 2 chest freezers...

What about cake pop balls? Think that can be pre rolled and stores in deep freezer?

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Hey Jessica! I honestly don't know because I don't sell cake pops in my home bakery. The only way is to test and see :) I recommend freezing about 4 and testing 1 each week (for 4 weeks) to see how they handle the freezing.

Thanks for the videos. You have a new Subscriber! I have a question for you. Do you know how to make Chocolate chips to have a shelf life of at least 1 month once they are baked? if yes, what conservative should I use to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your response :)

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Thank you so much Walder! I do not know how to make items baked with chocolate chips to last that long unless you freeze them which I am not a big fan of doing - except for raw cookie dough! 💖

[@rubyj777]

Just curious, What is genosh?

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

Hey Ruby, I talk about ganache on my blog here >>> philosophyofyum.com/grainy-ganache-fix-prevent/ it's an incredible, smooth, and shiny mixture of chocolate and cream used in cakes, desserts and pastries.🤤

[@Terminator550]

But should you not freeze cakes, cupcakes, or cookies for 24 hours before shipping across America?

[@aureliaphilosophyofyum]

This video is not geared toward shipping products. Shipping is a whole other "ballgame."
