The pineapple cakes factory that is a ten-minute walk away from our school – Kao Feng(高豐)Food Factory

They are mainly selling traditional wedding cakes and pastries, such as Chinese pancake, meat pie with fuzzy melon, nut kernels, and minced pork bean paste.

　　We went to the pineapple cakes factory to see how pineapple cakes were made by the professional bakers. Different from how we made pineapple cakes’ crust, the baker put the shortening in it whereas we did not. When watching how the curst is processed, we were called attention to the time of dough rubbing process. The bakers told us that in order to let the dough take shape, it is better to rub it only for a short period of time. We were also reminded about that by the teachers over and over when we made the pineapple cakes by ourselves.
　　Aside from watching the procedure, we also made the pineapple cakes by ourselves. The moulds the bakers used were rectangle-shaped, and ours were square-shaped, so before we put them into the moulds, we had to slightly make them longer so they would look better. The oven in the factory was something that was extra novel to us, because it was not the ovens that we normally saw; it was 360 degree rotary oven. It helped to evenly heat the pineapple cakes, and that was something new. After the observatory learning, I know more about how professional bakers make pineapple cakes, and a lot more other pineapple cake procedure related knowledge.
