I never new that fat makes treats less chewy! I ponder what gliadin does? I would hate to put to much eggs in a cake it would ruin all your hard work. Reading this article makes my mouth water!

I agree. I do think that gliadin is a strange cooking product. I was also thinking about how it would taste if you put too much egg in a cake.

I think it is interesting how baking soda and powder make cooking sound so much more difficult. It is strange what the reaction is. To have the cake bubble while it cooks is so weird. I think I should go bake a cake.

I did not know that sugar and fats had a purpose in treats. I thought that they were added for taste. I was also wondering how the eggs made the cake hard and heavy.

I never knew that fats made baked goods more chewy. I guess that means gluten makes things crispier.

I did not know that there was two types of protein in flour called glutenin and gliadin. i was astonished to find that fats make our treats more chewy. I wonder what would it taste like if i ate a cake with to much egg?

I also wonder what it would taste like with too many eggs. I guess it would probably make the cake a little bit too sturdy... kind of sturdy.

I never knew any of these facts except the things you need to bake. I do think that eggs give a creamy texture to the cake and it also helps bind.I'm pondering what the cake would taste like with lots of sugar.

I am astonished of how much science is behind a cake! And, for your answer, the cake will taste really sweet!

The cake would probably be too sugary and sweet if you were to put lots of sugar.

This is a very interesting way of interpreting baking. I was very fascinated with what every ingredient does to help. I always thought that baking was just baking. I was very interested from this article.

I did not think that there is a big scientific theory behind making a regular cake! I'm surprised that a solid state as flower mixed with water can become an even stronger state of solid! If we extracted the glutenin and gliadin out of the flower, I wonder if it will still be a protein? If fats give the cake a less chewy feeling feeling, then why is it sometimes bad? Now I'm exasperated that i don't have cake!

I love how she gives information about each ingredient then compares them to a machine and says that just like a machine all the parts need to do their job. she also gave so much detail I know baking is fun !

I did not know that gluten was made by glutenin and gliadin. Why does the flour only form gluten when it is wet? If someone misses one ingredient the WHOLE thing is ruined ): I wonder what the cake would taste like if there was too much egg. It would probably taste like the stale gluten free bread in my pantry. (Take my word, it is disgusting)

I never knew that that there is so much science behind baking! Chloe: I wonder what the taste would taste like too. Matthew: me too! I thought that you just made a cake and threw it into the oven This article reminds me of a baking book my 4th grade teacher gave to me. Baking is so fun, especially when it tastes good!

I think it won't taste the same. One time the ingredients said for 3 eggs and since we only had 2 eggs we missed part of the ingredient.

For your question the answer is that cupcakes were made in the 19th century, but I do not know the answer to who specifically invented cakes/cupcakes.

I think baking is an art because you can show your creativity by making a "picture" on a cake,a type of creativity.

I did not know that the sugar keeps the cake moist.When the glutenin and gliadin are mixed they form gluten and so does the gluten make the flour turn into a sturdy structure?

I love it how all of the different ingredients and flavors make the cake a liquid thing before it gets put in the oven. And after it gets put in the oven it gets turned into a cake after like about 2 hours. It smells really good but it's not that healthy.
